Exodus 35:18

Exodus 35:18 ... the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, and their ropes; ...

This verse has to have the potential for being one of the least striking verses in the Bible. It is part of a list in connection with the building of the Tabernacle in the wilderness and it is simply saying that someone in Israel made the tent pegs for the Tabernacle itself and for the Courtyard - and also the ropes. Some forgotten character or characters made the tent pegs and ropes. It seems so insignificant a work and yet, of course, without it the Tabernacle never would have stood. If the work had been defective, it would not have stood long. So today all sorts of hidden and seemingly insignificant work goes on in the Kingdom - and must go on. If the tent peg makers and rope makers, the listeners and tea makers and fall down on their job, the whole enterprise is in jeapordy.
