Exodus 37

It looks like the final touches are being made in terms of the tabernacle and its accessories. The making of the ark in particular is covered in this chapter, which leads to a question I've wondered about. We will see later on that the ark is so sacred that even touching it brings instant death (hence the polls to carry it with). I wonder, though, when that starts: obviously it did not kill anyone working on the construction of it. I suspect that edict will go into effect when God's presence comes and settles on the ark, but I guess the Scriptures might say more when we get to that section.
