God set Moses with the large task of getting the people ready to move to the Promised Land, but now he also had the new responsibility of consecrating and preparing the new tabernacle to move.
After all the consecration of the new tabernacle was completed the princes of the twelve tribes came bringing large offerings for their respective tribes. God specifically told Moses to take these offerings for the Levites and for the dedication of the altar.
All of the days of offering and dedication ended with God speaking directly with Moses from above the mercy seat in the tabernacle. The only way for anyone to have access to the Lord in any capacity is always through obedience. Sin brings separation and obedience results in God's presence and power. If any of us seek to know Him it first must be because blood was shed to cover our sin. Then we can rejoice in knowing Him through obedience to His Word. As we do this day in and day out we grow in our confidence of His continual presence with us.
We may not be preparing a large building or millions of people to move, but we have daily responsibilities presented before us with our work and families. If we want Him to be with us in all these tasks it must first be our obedience that brings us to Him. "For the law made nothing perfect; but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God." Hebrews 7:19
