#9-20 The walls of the court being of curtains only, intimated
that the state of the Jewish church itself was movable and
changeable; and in due time to be taken down and folded up, when
the place of the tent should be enlarged, and its cords
lengthened, to make room for the Gentile world.

#21-31 The foundation of massy pieces of silver showed the
solidity and purity of the truth upon which the church is
founded. Let us regard the Lord Jesus Christ while reading of
the furniture of the tabernacle. While looking at the altar of
burnt-offering, let us see Jesus. In him, his righteousness, and
salvation, is a full and sufficient offering for sin. In the
laver of regeneration, by his Holy Spirit, let our souls be
washed, and they shall be clean; and as the people offered
willingly, so may our souls be made willing. Let us be ready to
part with any thing, and count all but loss to win Christ.

* The priests' garments. (1-31) The tabernacle completed.
(32-43)
#1-31 The priests' garments were rich and splendid. The church
in its infancy was thus taught by shadows of good things to
come; but the substance is Christ, and the grace of the gospel.
Christ is our great High Priest. When he undertook the work of
our redemption, he put on the clothes of service, he arrayed
himself with the gifts and graces of the Spirit, girded himself
with resolution to go through the undertaking, took charge of
all God's spiritual Israel, laid them near his heart, engraved
them on the palms of his hands, and presented them to his
Father. And he crowned himself with holiness to the Lord,
consecrating his whole undertaking to the honour of his Father's
holiness. True believers are spiritual priests. The clean linen
with which all their clothes of service must be made, is the
righteousness of saints, #Re 19:8|.
