21 These are the amounts of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the Testimony, which were recorded at Moses' command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.
It is interesting here how others are mentioned. God didn't give Moses the detailed instructions for the building of the Ark and then expect Moses to do it all himself. Nope, this was a team effort made up of men (and women) with different skills, different abilities, and all the people were called upon to give from their hearts to supply all the raw materials. Everyone had a part to play.
It's like the story of a little boy who went to school all excited because they were handing out the parts for the school play. His mother knew he probably wouldn't get a part and was ready for tears when she collected him from school. But her son came out all smiles and laughter, because he had been given one of the most important parts of all - to watch and clap.
God does not leave us to do things on our own. If we have been called, we will be equipped for the task, and that includes having the people around us to help out.
