| + | <p>The pericopes of Vayakhel and Pekudei describe the fulfillment of commandments relating to the Tabernacle that are set forth in Terumah, Tetzaveh, and the beginning of Ki Tisa.  Commentators seek to understand both the need for the detailed repetition and to explain the places where the execution does not appear to match the command.</p> | ||

| + | <li>See <a href="https://www.hatanakh.com/articles/%D7%A4%D7%A8%D7%A9%D7%AA-%D7%95%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%94%D7%9C-%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%9C-%D7%A4%D7%A8%D7%A9%D7%AA-%D7%AA%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%94">פרשת ויקהל מול פרשת תרומה</a>, by R. Menachem Leibtag, who suggests that the differences between the units may be understood by virtue of the perspective from which each pericope is presented (the perspective of Hashem versus that of the people).  The Torah devotes so much attention not only to the commands relating to the Tabernacle but to the people’s fulfillment of them because the building of the Tabernacle serves as atonement for the sin of the golden calf, and even for the sin of Adam.</li> | ||
| + | <li>See <a href="https://etzion.org.il/en/tanakh/torah/sefer-shemot/parashat-vayakhel/vayakhel-more-repetition">Vayakhel: More than Repetition</a>, by R. Yair Kahn, who suggests that Terumah represents a conceptual approach to the Tabernacle whereas Vayakhel reflects a pragmatic approach.  Alternatively, as R. Leibtag notes, the seeming repetition in Vayakhel demonstrates Hashem’s forgiveness of the Jewish people for the sin of the golden calf. </li> | ||
| + | <li>See <a href="https://etzion.org.il/en/tanakh/torah/sefer-shemot/parashat-vayakhel/vayakhel-pekudei-repetition-context">Vayakhel Pekudei: Repetition in Context</a>, by R. Avraham Walfish, for an explanation of the repetition that draws on the linguistic parallels between the story of the golden calf and the narrative of constructing the Tabernacle.  R. Walfish suggests that the feelings of anxiety and urgency that motivated the people in worshiping the calf are channeled and sublimated through the construction of the Tabernacle, imparting a message about the importance of balance and self-control in spiritual life.</li> | ||

Yehuda Rock, which suggests that there are two conceptual streams in the Torah’s descriptions of the commandments relating to the Tabernacle.  Hashem both gives Moshe detailed commands regarding every vessel and also shows him a general visual model. By understanding these different aspects, one can resolve seeming redundancies and arrive at a deeper understanding of the purpose of the Tabernacle. </li> | ||
