Parshas Pekudei Summary

Parshas Pekudei (פְקוּדֵי‎) marks the final chapter in the Book of Shemos, encompassing 38:21–40:38. Within this parsha, the intricate details of erecting the Tabernacle (מִשְׁכַּן‎, Mishkan) are elucidated and concluded. The parsha contains 4,432 Hebrew letters, 1,182 Hebrew words, 92 verses, and 159 lines in a Torah scroll.

Summary: Moshe directed Aaron's son, Isamar, to oversee the Tabernacle's accounts. The detailed records include the amounts of gold, silver, and copper skillfully utilized by Bezalel, Oholiab, and their team. Notably, according to the census, silver was contributed by each man over 20 years old. Following God's commands, Bezalel, Oholiav, and their colleagues crafted the priests' sacred garments, the ephod, and the breastpiece. They meticulously created the robe, fine linen tunics, and the frontlet inscribed "Holy to the Lord." Upon completion, Moshe received the Tabernacle and its furnishings, offering his blessing. God instructed Moshe to set up the Tabernacle, which he promptly executed, marking the commencement of the second year of the Exodus. As the cloud enveloped the Tent of Meeting, signifying God's presence, the Israelites awaited divine guidance, moving only when the cloud lifted. Throughout their journeys, God's cloud shielded the Tabernacle during the day, with a fire illuminating the night.
