Again, a reading of how they made the robes of those that would be in the tabernacle. The only thing that really stands out in the whole reading is that they did as God commanded. Is it really about seeing if they will do as they are told?
This Psalm was confusing, in that it is really about people not following God, but it talks as if all people are this way. I am unsure of the significance here...

It does seem as you say to be just about seeing if they will follow instructions. Because what is the need for all these ornate things. Is this where the word gaudy comes from? Not sure why I thought that. It could also be because when they were waiting for Moses the first time they grumbled and needed something to “worship”, and while this isn’t meant to be worshipped it is giving people a place to worship. If that makes sense. And the people are now being blessed for complying.
The psalm does seem as you say. That basically everyone has turned away from God and don’t seek him. They are overwhelmed with dread when there is nothing to dread. They no one does good. But I just reread this and the first line says “The fool says in his heart there is no God”. So maybe these are the words of a fool who doesn’t know god or doesn’t try to know.
