Pekudei Roundup

Parshat Pekudei is the last of the five Parshiot that discuss the Mishkan.

The Parshah begins by giving us an accounting the gold, silver, and copper that were donated to the Mishkan. Then is described how Bezalel and Oholiab made the eight special garments that the Kohanim (priests) had to wear: The shirt, pants, hat, sash, apron, breastplate, and crown. See the Tetzaveh Roundup for more on this.

Now that building of the Mishkan was complete, they set it up and put everything in its proper place. Then a cloud came down upon the Mishkan, and this showed everybody that G-d's presence had come to dwell within it.
