This passage details the massive undertaking that went into building the inner structure of the temple. What has always been interesting to me is the amount of fine detail that was installed by its craftsmen. It was not merely a type of material that was used, but it was a specific type of material that was used. Every object was meticulously articulated as part of worship. In a very real sense, this is worship through artistic craftsmanship. Had Jesus been incarnate at this time, he might very well have been a temple craftsmen. We tend to think the ongoing artistic forms, like singing or drawing, are the only present forms of active worship. But when we see a great amount of detail placed into a piece of stained glass or paneling, we must see this too as a sacrifice of praise. To that end, let us seek to give that to God in our craftsmanship. When we build, let us build in such a way that it is flourished with respect and reverence for God. Let us do more than simply construct.
