Exodus 37:1 — And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:

There’s a saying, a cliché really: “The devil is in the details.” I don’t think that’s right. I think God is the one who is in all the details.
Sometimes, let me be honest, the description of the building of the temples can seem wearying. “Why,” I ask myself, “did God put all these details in here?” Starting in chapter 25 of Exodus we get the record of God’s precise instructions to Moses as to how the tent of meeting was to be built. Then, here in chapter 37 of Exodus, begins the record of how exactly Bezaleel followed those instructions.
I have come to believe that there are two reasons for the records to be so detailed. The first is that the temples are pictures of heaven — and God is naturally concerned that the pictures should be accurate. The second is that they tell of the precision with which Bezaleel, and his counterparts in later constructions, followed God’s blueprints — and how God approved of their rigorous obedience.
God’s attention to, and appreciation of, detail seem obvious to me. Consider the wonders of nature … Did you never marvel at the beauty and detail of a spider’s web? Or did you see the back of a leaf. Or have you looked at a snowflake, been amazed at the detail of the crystalline structure and then recalled that each one is unique?
Of course, there is something else in nature that makes my point even more strongly:

For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. (Psalm 139:13-16)

Look at yourself! You, yourself, are the most powerful evidence of God’s attention to detail!
I take comfort from these thoughts. Attention to detail can be important to me — some have even called me perfectionist — and it’s good to know that God would approve!
