Exodus 36:8-38

 (1) 36:8 All the skilled among those who were doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains...

36:10 He joined five of the curtains to one another...
36:11 He made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in the first set...

[He}=(NET) The verb is singular since it probably is referring to Bezalel, but since he would not do all the work himself, it may be that the verbs could be given a plural subject: “they joined.”

These skilled people together with Bezalel started to make the curtains and the frame of the tabernacle. 

(2) Comparing with
26:1  “The tabernacle itself you are to make with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet...
26:3 Five curtains are to be joined... 
26:4 You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set...

In chapter 26 God told Moses what the tabernacle was like. Now, the skilled people completed the job. Note, they are almost exactly word by word. In other words, God told Moses and now Moses told Bezalel and they followed the plan of God. 

Reflection: Are we good follower of Christ? Are we good follower of our mentor in Christ?
