Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
After the pattern of the tabernacle - It has been supposed that there had been a tabernacle before that erected by Moses, though it probably did not now exist; but the tabernacle which Moses is ordered to make was to be formed exactly on the model of this ancient one, the pattern of which God showed him in the mount, Exo 25:40. The word משכן mishcan signifies literally the dwelling or habitation; and this was so called because it was the dwelling place of God; and the only place on the earth in which he made himself manifest. See Clarke's note on Exo 25:40, and on Exo 33:7-10.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle--The proposed erection could be, in the circumstances of the Israelites, not of a fixed and stable but of a temporary and movable description, capable of being carried about with them in their various sojournings. It was made after "the pattern" shown to Moses, by which is now generally understood, not that it was an unheard-of novelty, or an entirely original structure, for it is ascertained to have borne resemblance in form and arrangements to the style of an Egyptian temple, but that it was so altered, modified, and purified from all idolatrous associations, as to be appropriated to right objects, and suggestive of ideas connected with the true God and His worship.
John Gill Bible Commentary
According to all that I show thee,.... That is, the sanctuary was to be made in all respects exactly according to the view of it that Moses now had upon the mount from God, and which he was to communicate to the workmen for their instruction and direction: after the pattern of the tabernacle, and of the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it: and by the "pattern" is not meant an idea of it, impressed on the mind of Moses, or a picture of it which was shown him, but a little edifice representing it in all its parts, a perfect model of it: and so Maimonides (i) says, "Tabnith", the word here used, signifies the structure and disposition of anything, i.e. the form of it in a four square, in roundness, in a triangle, or in any of the like figures, see Heb 8:5 and so David had, by the Spirit, a pattern of the temple, and which he gave to his son Solomon, to build according to it, Ch1 28:11. (i) Moreh Nevochim, par. 1. c. 3.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
25:9 exactly according to the pattern: We do not determine for ourselves how we want to come into the presence of a holy God. If we come into his presence at all, it will be on his terms and in accord with his desires and character.

He traces the history of God's presence from the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle and Temple, highlighting the failures of Israel to fulfill their purpose as God's habitation. The sermon reveals that the Incarnation of Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit mark significant expressions of God's intention to dwell with humanity. Sparks stresses that the true criterion for any church or gathering is the presence of God, which is contingent upon the exaltation of Christ, the centrality of the Cross, and the measure of Christ in believers.

He highlights the contrast between the Old Testament system, where access to God was limited, and the New Testament revelation of boldness to enter the holiest through Christ's sacrifice. Darby underscores the importance of understanding the tabernacle's elements, such as the ark, altar, and priesthood, as they relate to God's holiness and man's need for redemption.
