So that they had special powers to do things (cutting the boards, etc.). Also, when the Jews spoiled Egypt, I am sure that GOD made sure that they took everything they would need to build everything in the Tabernacle (adzes, etc.).

We know from both Biblical and archaeological sources that they had iron and bronze woodworking tools, such as adzes. (See for example Deut.19:5) Presumably these were used to cut wood for these planks as well as the other wooden furnishings of the Tablernacle, such as the table for the showbread, the holy Ark, and the altars. I hope that is helpful. Jon Greenberg Good question, Oswald! We know from both Biblical and archaeological sources that they had iron and bronze woodworking tools, such as adzes.

What did they use to do the cutting? I would love to hear your response. Thank you. Once they had the trees for the boards, how did they cut them into 10 cubit long boards i.5 cubits wide?
