The word tabernacle is used in many different senses, and
signifies,
I. A tent or pavilion,
# Nu 24:5 Mt 17:4
II. A house or dwelling,
# Job 11:4 22:23
III. A kind of tent, which is designated, to speak after
the manner of the men, the palace of the Most High, the
dwelling of the God of Israel,
# 26:1 Heb 9:2,3
IV. Christ's human nature, of which the Jewish tabernacle
was a type, wherein God dwells really, substantially, and
personally,
# Heb 8:2 9:11
V. The true church militant,
# Ps 15:1
VI. Our natural body, in which the soul lodges as in a
tabernacle,
# 2Co 5:1 2Pe 1:13
VII. The token of God's gracious presence,

* Bezaleel.
# 31:1-5 35:30-35 36:1-3
The supernatural qualifications of Bezaleel and Aholiab
proved their divine appointment; yet they had an express
nomination to their work: they were also miraculously
qualified to instruct their assistants, as well as to
superintend them. Christ alone builds the Temple of the
Lord, and bears the glory; but ministers and private
Christians, under his direction and by his grace, may be
fellow-workers together with him. They who, in mean
employments, are diligent and humbly contented, are equally
acceptable with those who are engaged in more splendid
services. The women who spun the goats' hair were
wise-hearted, as well as the persons who presided over the
work of the tabernacle, or as Aaron, who burnt incense there,
because they did it heartily unto the Lord. Our wisdom and
duty consist in giving God the glory and use of our talents,
be they more or less; neither abusing nor burying them, but
occupying with them until our Lord shall come; being
satisfied that it is better to be a door-keeper in his
service, than the most mighty and renowned of the
ungodly.--Scott.

* All the gold.
If we follow the estimation of the learned Dean Prideaux, the
value of the twenty-nine talents, and 730 shekels of gold,
will be 198,347£. 12s. 6d. The value of the silver
contributed by 603,550 Israelites, at half a shekel, or 1s.
6d. per man, will amount to 45,266£. 5s. The value of the 70
talents, 2,400 shekels of brass, will be 513£. 17s. The gold
weighed 4,245 pounds; the silver, 14,603 pounds; and the
brass, 10,277 pounds, troy weight. The total value of all
the gold, silver, and brass, will consequently amount to
244,127£. 14s. 6d.; and the total weight of these three
metals will amount to 29,124 pounds troy, which reduced to
avoirdupois weight, is equal to fourteen tons, 226
pounds!--It may, perhaps, seem difficult to imagine how the
Israelites should be possessed of so much wealth in the
desert; but it should be remembered, that their ancestors
were opulent men before they came into Egypt; that they were
further enriched by the spoils of the Egyptians and
Amalekites; and that it is probable, they traded with the
neighbouring nations who bordered on the wilderness. There
appear to be three reasons why so much riches should have
been employed in the construction of the tabernacle, etc. 1.
To impress the people's minds with the glory and dignity of
the Divine Majesty, and the importance of his service. 2.
To take out of their hands the occasion of covetousness. 3.
To prevent pride and vain glory, by leading them to give up
to the divine service even the ornaments of their persons.

* onyx stones.
The meaning of the word {shoham} is not easily determined. It
has been variously rendered a beryl, emerald, prasius,
sapphire, sardius, ruby, carnelian, onyx, and sardonyx. It
may signify both the onyx and sardonyx. The latter stone is a
mixture of the chalcedony and carnelian, sometimes in strata,
and at other times blended together, and is found striped with
white and red strata, or layers. It is generally allowed that
there is no real difference, except in hardness, between the
carnelian, chalcedony, agate, sardonyx, and onyx. The onyx is
of a darkish horny colour, resembling the nail or hoof, from
which circumstance it has its name [(onyx).] It has often a
plate of a blueish white or red in it, and when on one or both
sides of this white there appears a plate of a reddish colour,
the jewellers call the stone a sardonyx.

10633
* a diamond.
# 28:18 Eze 28:13
The word {yahalom} may mean the diamond, from {halam,} to
beat, smite, because of its extreme hardness, by which it
will beat to pieces the other stones. It is a fine pellucid
substance never debased with any admixture of other matter;
susceptible of elegant tinges from metal-line particles;
giving fire with steel; not fermenting with acid menstrua;
scarcely calcinable by any degree of fire; and of one simple
and permanent appearance in all lights. It is the hardest
and most valuable of all gems; when pure, perfectly clear and
pellucid as the clearest water, and eminently distinguished
from all other substances by its vivid splendour, and the
brightness of its reflections.
10634
* a ligure.
{Leshem,} the ligure, the same as the jacinth, or hyacinth, a
precious stone of a deep red, with a considerable tinge of
yellow. Theophrastus and Pliny say it resembles the
carbuncle, of a brightness sparkling like fire.
* an agate.
{Shevo,} the agate, a semi-pellucid compound gem, formed of
different simple minerals, as chalcedony, cornelian, jasper.
horn-stone, quartz, amethyst, opal, etc.; joined irregularly
or in layers. It is of a white, reddish, yellowish, or
greenish ground; and so variously figured in its substance as
to represent plants, trees, animals, and other objects.
* an amethyst.
{Achlamah,} an amethyst, a transparent gem, composed of a
strong blue and deep red; and according as either prevails,
affording different tinges of purple, sometimes approaching
to violet, and sometimes even fading to a pale rose colour.
10635
* a beryl.
Tarshish, a pellucid gem, of a sea or blueish green colour.
* a jasper.
{Yaspeh,} the jasper, a hard stone, of which there are not
less than fifteen varieties of colour, as green, red, yellow,
brown, black, etc.
