other." Sin is perfectly put away, and the believing sinner perfectly justified, "BY THE BLOOD OF THE CROSS." When we get a view of God as thus unfolded, we have only, like Moses, to "bow our head toward the earth and worship;"--suited attitude for a pardoned and accepted sinner in the presence of God! CHAPTERS XXXV.-XL. These chapters contain a recapitulation of the various parts of the tabernacle and its furniture; and inasmuch as I have already given what I believe to be the import of the more prominent parts, I will not add more. There are, however, two things in this section from which we may deduce most profitable instruction, and these are, (first) _the voluntary devotedness_ and (secondly) _the implicit obedience_ of the people with respect to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation. And first, as to their voluntary devotedness, we read, "And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. And they came, every one _whose heart stirred him up_, and every one whom _his spirit made willing_, and they brought _the Lord's offering_ to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all His service, and for the holy garments. And they came, both men and women, _as many as were willing-hearted_, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord. And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass, brought the Lord's offering: and every man with whom was found shittim wood, for any work of the service, brought it. And all the women that were wise-hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. And all the women _whose heart stirred them up_ in wisdom spun goats' hair. And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; and spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. The children of Israel brought _a willing offering_ unto _the Lord_, every man and woman, _whose heart made them willing_ to bring, for all manner of work which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses." (Chap. xxxv. 20-29.) And, again, we read, "And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made; and they spake unto Moses, saying, 'The people bring _much more than enough_ for the service of the work, which the Lord commanded to make.'... For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much." (Ver. 4-7.)
