You must make
This phrase underscores the divine imperative given to Moses. The Hebrew root for "make" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to do, fashion, or accomplish. It implies not just creation but a purposeful and intentional act. In the context of the tabernacle, it signifies the importance of following God's specific instructions, highlighting obedience and reverence in worship.

the tabernacle
The Hebrew word for "tabernacle" is מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan), meaning dwelling place. This term is significant as it represents God's presence among His people. The tabernacle was a portable sanctuary, symbolizing that God was not confined to a single location but traveled with the Israelites. It foreshadows the coming of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14).

and design all its furnishings
The word "design" comes from the Hebrew תַּבְנִית (tabnith), meaning pattern or model. This indicates that every detail of the tabernacle and its furnishings was divinely inspired. The furnishings, including the Ark of the Covenant, the table, and the lampstand, each had specific purposes and symbolized various aspects of God's covenant and holiness.

according to the pattern
The Hebrew word for "pattern" is תַּבְנִית (tabnith), which is the same as "design." This repetition emphasizes the importance of adhering strictly to God's blueprint. It suggests that the earthly tabernacle was a reflection of a heavenly reality, a concept echoed in Hebrews 8:5, where the earthly sanctuary is described as a shadow of the heavenly one.

I will show you
This phrase indicates direct divine revelation. God personally revealed the plans to Moses, underscoring the sacredness and divine origin of the tabernacle's design. It highlights the intimate relationship between God and Moses and, by extension, God's desire to reveal Himself to His people. This revelation is a precursor to the ultimate revelation of God through Jesus Christ.

(9) The pattern.--It has been maintained that God shewed to Moses (1) a material structure, furnished with material objects, as the model which he was to follow in making the Tabernacle and its appurtenances; (2) a pictorial representation of the whole; (3) a series of visions in which the forms were represented to the eye of the mind. The entire analogy of the Divine dealings is in favour of the last-mentioned view.

Verse 9. - The patterns. Many of the old Jewish commentators supposed, that Moses was shown by God a real material structure, which actually existed in the heavens, far grander than its earthly copy, after which he was to have the tabernacle fashioned. Some recent Christian writers, without going these lengths, suggest that "an actual picture or model of the earthly tabernacle and its furniture was shown to him" (Keil). But the words of the text, as well as those of Acts 7:44, and Hebrews 8:5, are sufficiently justified, if we take a view less material than either of these - i.e., if we suppose Moses to have had impressed on his mind, in vision, the exact appearance of the tabernacle and its adjuncts, in such sort that he could both fully understand, and also, when necessary, supplement, the verbal descriptions subsequently given to him. It is unnecessary to inquire how the impression was produced. God who in vision communicated to Ezekiel the entire plan of that magnificent temple which he describes in ch. 40-42, could certainly have made known to Moses, in the same way, the far simpler structure of the primitive Tabernacle.
