Without delving into the how's and why's of worship too much (I am not capable of properly addressing this issue, and believe that good men will differ on many of the specifics) this passage of scripture gets VERY specific on how the items in the temple were to be designed and arranged.
While we no longer utilize the lampstand or the priest's breastplate of precious gems, our worship is no less important to God. The details do matter! God instructed specific measurements, specific precious metals and gems. These were details that were costly and extraordinary.
When we come to worship, we are able to boldly approach the throne of grace because of Christ's sacrifice that was costly and extraordinary. Read these chapters imagining the beauty and majesty of the golden angels. The prayerful preparation taken for each step of the worship. The solemnity of the sacrifice. There was beauty in the Old Testament sacrifice, but just a glimpse of the beauty of the ultimate sacrifice in Christ!
