In this video listen to Exodus 26 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.

In Exodus 26 we come to the actual building of the tabernacle itself. As you listen to the chapter read, try to imagine actually building a tabernacle with these instructions. A number of modern day replicas exist, which don’t look the same as each other, and in analysing them you can see that they don’t match these instructions perfectly either. For example the replica in Timnah Park, north of Eilat in modern day Israel is mostly white with 19 side panels. Whereas the replicas built by students at Bringham Young University had a colored tent entrance and 18 side panels.

Not only would it be difficult because we don’t have precise certainty about the size of the cubit used, but it's clear that the instructions are not complete.
