Shemot (Exodus) Chapter 39

33They brought the inner covering of the Tabernacle to Moses, the Tent of goat-hair, and all the other components of the Tabernacle: its clasps, planks, crossbars, pillars, and bases;   לגוַיָּבִ֤יאוּ אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ אֶל־משֶׁ֔ה אֶת־הָאֹ֖הֶל וְאֶת־כָּל־כֵּלָ֑יו קְרָסָ֣יו קְרָשָׁ֔יו בְּרִיחָ֖יו (כתיב בריחו) וְעַמֻּדָ֥יו וַֽאֲדָנָֽיו:
וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן וגו' - They brought the Tabernacle [to Moses] - for they themselves were unable to erect it. And because Moses himself had not done any work for the Tabernacle, the Holy One, blessed be He, left him the task of erecting it – for no man was able to erect it because the planks were so heavy that no man could naturally lift them upright, but Moses erected it. Moses said before the Holy One, blessed be He, “How is it possible for human agency to erect it?” God answered him, “Apply yourself to it with your hand; it will appear as though you are erecting it, but it will rise upright and stand up by itself.” And this is what is meant when it says: “the Tabernacle was erected,” 1 i.e., it was erected by itself. This is stated in Midrash Rabbi Tanchuma. 2   וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן וגו'.  שֶׁלֹּא הָיוּ יְכוֹלִין לַהֲקִימוֹ; וּלְפִי שֶׁלֹּא עָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה שׁוּם מְלָאכָה בַמִּשְׁכָּן, הִנִּיחַ לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא הֲקָמָתוֹ, שֶׁלֹּא הָיָה יָכוֹל לַהֲקִימוֹ שׁוּם אָדָם מֵחֲמַת כֹּבֶד הַקְּרָשִׁים, שֶׁאֵין כֹּחַ בָּאָדָם לְזָקְפָן, וּמֹשֶׁה הֶעֱמִידוֹ; אָמַר מֹשֶׁה לִפְנֵי הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֵיךְ אֶפְשָׁר הֲקָמָתוֹ עַל יְדֵי אָדָם? אָמַר לוֹ עֲסֹק אַתָּה בְּיָדְךָ, וְנִרְאֶה כִּמְקִימוֹ וְהוּא נִזְקָף וְקָם מֵאֵלָיו, וְזֶהוּ שֶׁנֶּ' הוּקַם הַמִּשְׁכָּן (שמות מ') – הוּקַם מֵאֵלָיו; מִדְרַשׁ רַ' תַנְחוּמָא:

41the netted packing-cloths for use in the Tabernacle, the sacred garments for Aaron the high priest, and the garments of his sons ministering as priests.   מאאֶת־בִּגְדֵ֥י הַשְּׂרָ֖ד לְשָׁרֵ֣ת בַּקֹּ֑דֶשׁ אֶת־בִּגְדֵ֤י הַקֹּ֨דֶשׁ֙ לְאַֽהֲרֹ֣ן הַכֹּהֵ֔ן וְאֶת־בִּגְדֵ֥י בָנָ֖יו לְכַהֵֽן:
42The Israelites had done all the work exactly in the manner that God had commanded Moses.   מבכְּכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־צִוָּ֥ה יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶת־משֶׁ֑ה כֵּ֤ן עָשׂוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֵ֖ת כָּל־הָֽעֲבֹדָֽה:
43Moses saw that they had indeed done all the work exactly as God had commanded, and Moses blessed them.   מגוַיַּ֨רְא משֶׁ֜ה אֶת־כָּל־הַמְּלָאכָ֗ה וְהִנֵּה֙ עָשׂ֣וּ אֹתָ֔הּ כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהֹוָ֖ה כֵּ֣ן עָשׂ֑וּ וַיְבָ֥רֶךְ אֹתָ֖ם משֶֽׁה:
וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתָם משֶׁה - And Moses blessed them. He said to them, “May it be God’s will that the Divine Presence rest on your handiwork,” and prayed using the verse, “May the pleasantness of the presence of God, our God, be upon us; God, please validate the work of our hands for us….” 3 This verse is part of the 11 Psalms 4 compiled by Moses, beginning with תְּפִלָּה לְמֹשֶׁה “A prayer of Moses.”   וַיְבָרֶךְ אֹתָם משֶׁה.  אָמַר לָהֶם יְהִי רָצוֹן שֶׁתִּשְׁרֶה שְׁכִינָה בְמַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵיכֶם, וִיהִי נֹעַם ה' אֱלֹהֵינוּ עָלֵינוּ וְגוֹ', וְהוּא אֶחָד מִי"א מִזְמוֹרִים שֶׁבִּתְפִלָּה לְמֹשֶׁה (ספרא):
