Guiding Questions: Exodus 36

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. According to Exodus 36:2, what is the “source” of wisdom/knowledge in the ultimate sense?
  2. Who determines the ending of the effort to elicit funds/materials? (Exodus 36:3-7)
  3. What does the over abundance indicate about the Israelites’ attitude as to the “portable worship center?” (Exodus 36:5-7)
  4. In this sequence (comparable to the earlier description) do the furnishings of the center come first or does the structure come first — and if there is a change, why?
  5. Is there some evident reason why, following the detailed description of the kirvah center in earlier text, there is such a substantial repetition at this point?
