Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd thou shall rear up the tabernacle,.... When thus finished, and all the furniture belonging to it completed: according to the fashion thereof, which was showed thee in the mount; this is the third time that this is observed to Moses in the account of the tabernacle; which shows how punctually God would have the pattern observed he had given him, and that all things might be particularly and exactly done according to it, see Heb 8:5.

rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion
The building instructions close by saying that Moses is copying something he was shown rather than designing something. Exodus 25:40 said the same at the start of the pattern, and Hebrews 8:5 quotes that verse and calls the whole structure the example and shadow of heavenly things. That the tabernacle is a copy is stated by the New Testament, while readings of each item of furniture as a separate figure of Christ are a tradition taught by Chuck Missler and by Sir Robert Anderson.
