Section 1א׳

וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן אֶל משֶׁה. רַבִּי תַּנְחוּמָא בַּר אַבָּא פָּתַח (תהלים מה, טו): לִרְקָמוֹת תּוּבַל לַמֶּלֶךְ בְּתֻלוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ רֵעוֹתֶיהָ מוּבָאוֹת לָךְ, מַהוּ לִרְקָמוֹת, זֶה הַמִּשְׁכָּן שֶׁהוּא מְצֻיָּר, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שמות לח, כג): וְרֹקֵם בַּתְּכֵלֶת, הֱוֵי: לִרְקָמוֹת. מַהוּ תּוּבַל לַמֶּלֶךְ, זֶה משֶׁה שֶׁנִּקְרָא מֶלֶךְ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (דברים לג, ה): וַיְהִי בִישֻׁרוּן מֶלֶךְ בְּהִתְאַסֵּף רָאשֵׁי עָם יַחַד שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל. תּוּבַל, שֶׁהֵבִיאוּ לוֹ הַמִּשְׁכָּן. בְּתֻלוֹת אַחֲרֶיהָ רֵעוֹתֶיהָ, אֵלּוּ יִשְׂרָאֵל שֶׁנִּקְרְאוּ בְּתוּלוֹת, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתוּב (שיר השירים ד, יב): גַּן נָעוּל אֲחֹתִי כַלָּה גַּל נָעוּל מַעְיָן חָתוּם. רֵעוֹתֶיהָ, שֶׁהֵן רֵעָיו שֶׁל הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (תהלים קכב, ח): לְמַעַן אַחַי וְרֵעָי אֲדַבְּרָה נָּא שָׁלוֹם בָּךְ. מוּבָאוֹת לָךְ, שֶׁבַּיּוֹם שֶׁנִּגְמַר הַמִּשְׁכָּן הֱבִיאוּהוּ אֶצְלוֹ, לְכָךְ נֶאֱמַר: וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן אֶל משֶׁה.

“They brought the Tabernacle to Moses: The Tent and all its vessels, its hooks, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets” (Exodus 39:33). “They brought the Tabernacle to Moses.” Rabbi Tanḥuma bar Abba began: “In embroidery she is led to the king; her virgin companions follow her, brought to you” (Psalms 45:15). What is “in embroidery”? This is the Tabernacle that is embroidered, as it is written: “And an embroiderer in sky blue wool” (Exodus 38:23). That is “in embroidery.” What is “she is led to the king”? This is Moses, who was called king, as it is written: “He became king in Yeshurun, when the heads of the people were assembled, the tribes of Israel together” (Deuteronomy 33:5). “She is led,” this is that they brought him the Tabernacle. “Her virgin companions follow her,” this is Israel, who were called virgins, as it is written: “A locked garden is my sister, my bride; a locked fountain, a sealed spring” (Song of Songs 4:12). “Her companions,” as they are the companions of the Holy One blessed be He, as it is stated: “For the sake of my brothers and companions, I now say: Peace be with you” (Psalms 122:8). “Brought to you” – on the day that the Tabernacle was completed, they brought it to him. That is why it is stated: “They brought the Tabernacle to Moses.”

דָּבָר אַחֵר, וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן, הֲדָא הוּא דִכְתִיב (תהלים לא, יט): תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי שֶׁקֶר הַדֹּבְרוֹת עַל צַדִּיק עָתָק בְּגַאֲוָה וָבוּז, כֵּיצַד אָדָם מִתְוַדֶּה בְּיוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים, אִם בָּא יוֹם הַכִּפּוּרִים אַחֵר וְהִזְכִּיר עֲוֹנוֹתָיו, אוֹמֵר לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא: תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי שָׁקֶר. מַהוּ עָתָק, דְּבָרִים שֶׁל סִלּוּקִים, כְּעִנְיַן שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר (בראשית יב, ח): וַיַּעְתֵּק מִשָּׁם הָהָרָה מִקֶּדֶם לְבֵית אֵל וַיֵּט אָהֳלֹה בֵּית אֵל מִיָּם וְהָעַי מִקֶּדֶם וַיִּבֶן שָׁם מִזְבֵּחַ לַה' וַיִּקְרָא בְּשֵׁם ה'. בְּגַאֲוָה וָבוּז, אוֹמֵר לוֹ הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לֹא הָיָה בְּיָדֶיךָ עֲוֹנוֹת מִשֶּׁל שָׁנָה זוֹ שֶׁהָיִיתָ מִתְגָּאֶה בְּגַאֲוָה וָבוּז. דָּבָר אַחֵר, תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי שָׁקֶר, מְדַבֵּר בְּמשֶׁה, בְּשָׁעָה שֶׁאָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לַעֲשׂוֹת לוֹ מִשְׁכָּן, מִיָּד אָמַר משֶׁה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (שמות כה, ב): וְיִקְחוּ לִי תְרוּמָה, הָיָה משֶׁה עוֹשֶׂה בַּמִּשְׁכָּן וְהָיוּ לֵיצָנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אוֹמְרִים אֶפְשָׁר שֶׁהַשְּׁכִינָה שׁוֹרָה עַל יְדֵי בֶּן עַמְרָם. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹחָנָן שִׁשָּׁה חֳדָשִׁים הָיָה עוֹסֵק בַּמִּשְׁכָּן, שְׁלשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים עֲשָׂאוּהוּ וּשְׁלשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים קִפְּלוּהוּ, אַף עַל פִּי כֵן הָיוּ מְלִיצִין אַחֲרָיו וְאוֹמְרִים הֲרֵי נַעֲשָׂה, לֹא הָיָה משֶׁה אוֹמֵר שֶׁיַּשְׁרֶה שְׁכִינָתוֹ אֶצְלֵנוּ. וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא נִתְכַּוֵּן לְהַעֲמִיד הַמִּשְׁכָּן בַּחֹדֶשׁ שֶׁנּוֹלַד בּוֹ יִצְחָק אָבִינוּ, לֹא עָשָׂה אֶלָּא כְּשֶׁהִגִּיעַ אוֹתוֹ הַחֹדֶשׁ אָמַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא לְמשֶׁה (שמות מ, ב): בְּיוֹם הַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן תָּקִים אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן, אוֹתָהּ שָׁעָה אָמְרָה רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ: תֵּאָלַמְנָה שִׂפְתֵי שָׁקֶר, אוֹתָם שֶׁמְּלִיצִים אַחַר משֶׁה, לֹא עָשָׂה, אֶלָּא כֵּיוָן שֶׁאָמַר הָאֱלֹהִים לְמשֶׁה שֶׁיָּקִים אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן הִתְחִילוּ טוֹעֲנִין אוֹתוֹ וּבָאִין כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד מִמְּלַאכְתּוֹ, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר: וַיָּבִיאוּ אֶת הַמִּשְׁכָּן אֶל משֶׁה.

Another matter, “they brought the Tabernacle” – that is what is written: “Mute the lying lips that speak falsehood [atak] against the righteous with arrogance and contempt” (Psalms 31:19). How so? A person confesses on Yom Kippur; if another Yom Kippur comes and he mentions his [past] iniquities, the Holy One blessed be He says to him: ‘Mute the lying lips.’ What is atak? Matters that have already passed, like that which is stated: “He relocated [vayatek] from there to the mountain, east of Beit El, and he pitched his tent, Beit El to the west, and Ai to the east; he built there an altar to the Lord, and proclaimed the name of the Lord” (Genesis 12:8). “With arrogance and contempt” – the Holy One blessed be He says to him: ‘Did you have no sins from this year that you boasted “with arrogance and contempt”?’ Another matter, “mute the lying lips” is speaking of Moses. When the Holy One blessed be He said to craft for Him a Tabernacle, Moses immediately said to Israel: “Let them bring Me a gift” (Exodus 25:2). Moses was involved in the Tabernacle, and the cynics of Israel were saying: ‘Is it possible that the Divine Presence will rest by means of the son of Amram?’ Rabbi Yoḥanan said: He was involved with the Tabernacle for six months. They crafted it in three months and they folded it up for three months. Nevertheless, they were mocking him, and saying: ‘It has been crafted, did Moses not say that His Divine Presence would rest in our midst?’ But the Holy One blessed be He intended to set up the Tabernacle in the month that Isaac our patriarch was born. He did not act, but when that month arrived the Holy One blessed be He said to Moses: “On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, you shall erect the Tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting” (Exodus 40:2). At that moment, the Divine Spirit said: “Mute the lying lips,” those mocking him. He did not act, but when the Holy One blessed be He said to Moses to erect the Tabernacle, [the people] began to carry it, each and every one of them [the product of] his labor, as it is stated: “They brought the Tabernacle to Moses.”

“They brought the Tabernacle” – that is what is written: “Might and grandeur are her garment, and she laughs at the final day” (Proverbs 31:25). What is “at the final day”? It is that all the reward of the righteous is prepared for them in the World to Come. That is, “she laughs at the final day.” There was an incident involving Rabbi Abahu who was departing from the world and saw all the good that was prepared for him in the World to Come. He began rejoicing and said: ‘All this is for Abahu? “But I said: For nothing I labored, I expended my strength for emptiness and futility; indeed, my portion is from the Lord and my accomplishment is from my God”’ (Isaiah 49:4). That is, “she laughs at the final day.” Another matter, when is the Torah favorable [mesaḥeket] for one who toils in it? On the final day, as it is stated: “She laughs [vatisḥak] at the final day.” Zavdi ben Levi, Rabbi Yosei ben Patros, and Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi, each and every one of them recited a verse at the moment of their departure from the world. One of them recited: “Therefore, everyone who is pious to You should pray at the time of searching, so the torrent of mighty waters does not reach him” (Psalms 32:6). One recited: “How great is Your goodness that You have in store for those who fear You, which You have created for those taking refuge in You, to be bestowed before the people” (Psalms 31:20). And one recited: “For our heart rejoices in Him” (Psalms 33:21). That is [proof] that at the time of departure of the righteous, the Holy One blessed be He shows them the reward that they are given and causes them to rejoice. Ben Azai said: “Weighty [yakar] in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His pious ones” (Psalms 116:15). When does the Holy One blessed be He inform the righteous of the honor [yekar] that is prepared for them? It is adjacent to their death, as it is stated: “The death of His pious ones.” At that moment they see and laugh. That is why, “she laughs at the final day.” There was an incident involving a certain disciple of Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai who went out of the Land of Israel and returned wealthy. The disciples would see him and envy him, and they, too, sought, to go out of the Land of Israel. Rabbi Shimon knew and he took them to a certain valley near Meron. He prayed, saying: ‘Valley, valley, fill with gold dinars!’ It began flowing with gold dinars before them. He said to them: ‘If it is gold you seek, here is gold, take it for yourselves; however, know that anyone who takes now, it is his portion of the World to Come that he is taking, as the reward for Torah is given only in the World to Come.’ That is, “she laughs at the final day.” There was an incident involving Rabbi Shimon ben Ḥalafta who arrived [home] on the day before Shabbat and he did not have a source of sustenance. He exited the city and prayed before God and he was given a gem from the heavens. He gave it to a money changer and bought provisions for that Shabbat. His wife said: ‘From where are these [provisions]?’ He said: ‘From the sustenance provided by the Holy One blessed be He.’ She said to him: ‘If you do not tell me where they are from, I will not taste anything.’ He began relating to her, he said to her: ‘This is how I prayed before God, and it was given me from the heavens.’ She said to him: ‘I will not taste anything until you say to me that you will return it at the conclusion of Shabbat.’ He said to her: ‘Why?’ She said to him: ‘Would you like your table to be lacking and the table of your colleagues intact?’ Rabbi Shimon went and informed Rabbi [Yehuda HaNasi] of the incident. He said to him: ‘Tell her that if your table is lacking, I will complete it from my portion.’ He went and told it to her. She said to him: ‘Go with me to the one who taught you Torah.’ She said to him: ‘Rabbi, does a person see his counterpart in the World to Come? Does each and every righteous one not have a world to himself, as it is stated: “For the man goes to his eternal [olamo] home, and the mourners will circle in the streets” (Ecclesiastes 12:5)? Olamim is not written, but rather, olamo.’ When [Rabbi Shimon] heard that, he went to return it. Our Rabbis say, the latter miracle was greater than the former. When he extended his hand to return it, immediately, an angel descended and took it from him. Why? Because the reward for Torah is given only in the World to Come, for the final day. That is, “she laughs at the final day.” Another matter, “might and grandeur are her garment” – this is Moses, as it is stated: “Moses did not know that the skin of his face was radiant” (Exodus 34:29). “She laughs at the final day,” these are the cynics of Israel, who mocked him and said to one another: ‘Is it possible that the Divine Presence will rest by means of the son of Amram?’ He did not act, but when God said to him to erect the Tabernacle, he began laughing at them, as it is stated: “She laughs at the final day.” He said to them: ‘Come, let us erect the Tabernacle.’ They began to carry it and come to him, as it is stated: “They brought the Tabernacle.”
