The Importance of Exact Obedience

Commentators like Ellicott and Calvin highlight that the Bible's detailed repetition of the tabernacle's construction isn't just redundant. It serves to show how perfectly the builders followed God's specific instructions. This underscores a key spiritual lesson: true and acceptable obedience involves faithfully adhering to God's commands in every detail, without adding human innovations.
