10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
GOD to shine HIS face gloriously on all who love and look forward to HIS coming!
This Chapter continues with describing what Bezalel and his assistant, Aholiab, made for the tablernacle.
It also speaks of the total amounts of gold, silver, and bronze used to create these items. I do not know how much a talent or bekah is. But I think that the total amounts were probably a large and costly amount.
I know that the tabernacle and all of the furnishings are representations of what is in heaven. And I do believe that whet is in heaven is outstandingly glorious. So, perhaps that is why God had the earthly tabernacle be so elaborate and costly. Even so, perhaps He also wanted the Israelites to invest these very valuable metals in Him, and not hold on to them for monetary security. Their treasure was now invested in God and they will come to know Him as their priceless treasure. The costliness of these furnishings pale in comparison to the value of God.
