Specifics from God

[Jason]

In the Bible when God want anything to be built he is so specific. He can just say a build a Big board or Tabernacle. But he gives finer details in building something why so?

Presumably because it was important that it be according to the specifications.

We don't necessarily need to know why the details are so important but if God explicitly says that something is to be done in a very particular manner we can be confident that he wasn't just using up words for the sake of it.

I understand, we can't question God about things he orders. But this question came to my mind as i start to read the Bible regularly.

It's a fair question, without a doubt. It's just that sometimes God provides very specific details and may not tell us why they are important. It might be that specific sizes and materials are important, it may be that God wanted to make sure that only the absolute finest workmanship was accepted, indicating his desire for the first and best rather than the offcuts and rejects.

I think it shows you how God cares about the details. On the other hand, I don't see anywhere where God specifically tells Solomon how to build the temple he built. It obviously looked very different than the tent of meeting.

God asked Moses to build Tabernacle in the way he wanted right and he asked Noah also to do that in building a boat
