After Moses finished setting up the Tabernacle, he anointed and consecrated it, along with all its furnishings and the altar with all its equipment. This marked the official beginning of Israel's worship center. Every object used for worship was dedicated to God and set apart for a holy purpose. The completion of the Tabernacle represented a major moment in Israel's journey because God had provided a place where His presence could dwell among His people. This verse shows that before beginning important work for God, preparation and dedication are essential.
History
The Tabernacle was completed shortly before Israel left Mount Sinai, around 1445 BC (15th century BC) according to traditional biblical chronology. The construction details are described earlier in Exodus 25–40.
