Context of Exodus 36:33

31They used acacia wood to make bars to fix across the boards. They made five bars for the south side of the tabernacle, 32five bars for the north side, and five bars for the west side at the back of the tabernacle. The bar that would go across the centre of the boards would reach from one end of the tabernacle to the other end. 34They used gold to cover the boards and to make rings for the boards. The rings would hold the bars in place across the boards. They also covered the wooden bars with gold. 35The workers used blue, purple and red material, and good linen to make a special curtain. A worker used special skills to make pictures of cherubs on it.

The people had tried to secure God's presence their own way with the gold calf, which led to disaster. Now, by following God's way, they received blessings (40:34–38).Read the comment
