Midrash Tanchuma Buber
You find that whatever was in the Tabernacle was made in the proper order.38Tanh., Exod. 10:10; Exod. R. 50:4. First he made the boards and joined them.39Concerning these boards and how they were joined, see above, 7:9. Then after that he made tent sheets, which he stretched out over them, as stated (in Exod. 26:7) THEN YOU SHALL MAKE TENT SHEETS OF GOATS' HAIR. Then after that he made the veil which was placed before the Ark. Then after that he made the Ark. Then after that he made the gold Mercy Seat on top of the Ark. R. Eleazar b. R. Jose said: I have seen it in Rome, and there were several drops of blood on it. I asked them what this blood was upon the Mercy Seat. They said: <It comes > from the blood of the Day of Atonement (rt.: KPR), when the High Priest came in and sprinkled it. Why is it named a Mercy Seat (rt.: KPR)? Because he atoned (rt.: KPR) < there > for the sins of Israel. Then after that he made the table on which the shewbread lay. Then after that he made the menorah which shed light over the table. See, he made it like an <ordered> array40Gk.: taxis (“order”) of kings. of kings. Therefore (in Exod. 37:1): THEN BEZALEL MADE <THE ARK>.

Shemot Rabbah
"And YHVH said to Moses, 'Hold out your hand...'" (Exodus 10:12) - Why did He bring locusts upon them? Because the had made Israel sowers of wheat and barley, therefore He brought upon them locusts and they ate all that Israel had sown for them. "And Moses held out his staff [over the land of Egypt, and YHVH drove an east wind over the land all that day and the night]..." (Exodus 10:13) Why did the Holy One Blessed Be He make the time for the plagues tomorrow and He didn't bring them immediately? So that they would turn back through them and they would do repentance. "And the locusts went up..." (Exodus 10:14) "And they covered the view of the entire land..." (Exodus 10:15) "And Pharaoh hurried to call to Moses and to Aaron..." (Exodus 10:16) What is "I have sinned to YHVH your God and to you"? "I have sinned to YHVH your God" - that I did not let Israel go. "and to you" - that I threw you out from before me, and that I thought to curse you, as I said "YHVH be with you the same..." (Exodus 10:10). "And now, forgive my offense..." (Exodus 10:17) "And he went out from Pharaoh's presence..." (Exodus 10:18).
