Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Frames and Bases
32five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.
33He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other.
34And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
35Next, he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it. 36He also made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold, along with gold hooks; and he cast four silver bases for the posts.Exodus 36:34 Summary
Exodus 36:34 tells us that Bezalel overlaid the frames of the tabernacle with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars, which were also overlaid with gold. This shows us that God values beauty and attention to detail, just as we see in the creation story in Genesis 1:31. The use of gold represents the preciousness and worth of the things of God, reminding us of the value of our relationship with Him, as mentioned in Psalm 119:127. By considering this verse, we can reflect on the importance of cherishing and honoring God in our own lives, just as the Israelites did in the construction of the tabernacle.

The crossbars, overlaid with gold, may represent the way Jesus Christ, who is our spiritual support and strength, is precious and valuable to us, as stated in 1 Peter 2:7 and Psalm 119:72.
