Exodus 37:1-29 - Bezalel made the ark

37:1-29

Once again in this chapter we have a number of parallels with earlier passages, with the difference that before instructions were given, and now the instructions are being carried out. The parallels are:

37:1-9 25:10-20

37:10-16 25:23-29

37:17-24 25:31-39

37:25-28 30:1-5

Apart from that I really don’t have a great deal to say on this chapter. One thing that does puzzle me is that they made images of cherubim. Now these were just models and were in themselves useless, and God had strictly commanded the Israelites not to make any graven images. So why were they told to make these models (images?) of cherubim?
