Husband and Wife cover Exodus chapter 39: The Making of the Priests' Garments / The Tabernacle Articles Completed; and chapter 40: The Setting Up of the Tabernacle / The Cloud Over the Tabernacle. We are disappointed to learn the pomegranates were made of yarn. Oholiab gets no respect. A cloud plays Red Light - Green Light with Moses and his peeps.

In Exodus chapters 39 and 40, the Bible describes the construction of the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary that the Israelites would use to worship God during their travels in the wilderness. The Tabernacle was made up of a number of different parts, including a tent, an altar, and various furniture. The Bible describes in detail how each of these parts was made, using gold, silver, and other precious materials.
From an atheist perspective, there is no reason to believe that the Tabernacle actually existed. The Bible is a religious text, and it is not unusual for religious texts to contain stories that are not historically accurate. In this case, the story of the Tabernacle may have been inspired by real events, but it is likely that the details have been exaggerated or embellished.
The Bible also claims that the Tabernacle was built according to instructions that God gave to Moses. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. It is more likely that the Tabernacle was built by human beings, who used their own skills and knowledge to create a structure that they believed would be pleasing to God.
The story of the Tabernacle is an important part of the Bible, but it is important to remember that it is just a story. There is no reason to believe that it is anything more than that.
Here are some additional points that an atheist might make about Exodus chapters 39 and 40:
- The Bible is not a reliable historical document. It was written centuries after the events it describes, and it contains many inaccuracies and contradictions.
- The story of the Tabernacle is similar to other stories from ancient cultures. This suggests that it may have been borrowed from these cultures, rather than being based on real events.
- The Bible's description of the Tabernacle is full of symbolism. This suggests that it is more about religious faith than about historical accuracy.
Ultimately, whether or not one believes the story of the Tabernacle is a matter of faith. There is no scientific evidence to support the claim that it actually happened. However, the story can still be seen as a valuable part of the Bible, as it provides insights into the beliefs and practices of the ancient Israelites.
