Midrash sobre Êxodo 38:21
אֵ֣לֶּה פְקוּדֵ֤י הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ מִשְׁכַּ֣ן הָעֵדֻ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר פֻּקַּ֖ד עַל־פִּ֣י מֹשֶׁ֑ה עֲבֹדַת֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם בְּיַד֙ אִֽיתָמָ֔ר בֶּֽן־אַהֲרֹ֖ן הַכֹּהֵֽן׃
Esta é a enumeração das coisas para o tabernáculo, a saber, o tabernáculo do testemunho, que por ordem de Moisés foram contadas para o ministério dos levitas, por intermédio de Itamar, filho de Arão, o sacerdote.
Midrash Tanchuma
These are the accounts of the tabernacle (Exod. 38:21). It is written elsewhere in allusion to this verse: Thou throne of glory, on high from the beginning, thou place of our Sanctuary (Jer. 17:12). This verse indicates that the Throne of Glory is located directly opposite our Sanctuary.1See Ginzberg, Legends of the Jews 5:292, n. 141. That is why it says: The place, O Lord, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, the Sanctuary, O Lord, which Thy hands have established (Exod. 15:2). And you find that Jerusalem on high is situated directly opposite the earthly Jerusalem. It was because the earthly Jerusalem was exceedingly precious to Him that He fashioned another one on high, as it is said: Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of My hands; thy walls are continually before me (Isa. 49:16). Why was it destroyed? Because thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that make thee waste shall go forth from thee (ibid., v. 17). That is why it was destroyed.

(Exod. 38:21:) THESE ARE THE RECORDS OF THE TABERNACLE…. This text is related (to Prov. 28:20): A FAITHFUL PERSON WILL RECEIVE MANY BLESSINGS, [BUT ONE WHO HASTENS TO BECOME RICH WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED]. In the case of whoever is faithful, you find that the Holy One brings blessings through him; but whoever is unfaithful AND HASTENS TO BECOME RICH WILL NOT GO UNPUNISHED.1Tanh., Exod. 11:5; Exod. R. 51:1; Jellinek, Beth ha-Midrasch, op. cit., vol. 6, p. 105.

Another interpretation (of Prov. 28:20): A FAITHFUL PERSON WILL RECEIVE MANY BLESSINGS. This was Moses, who became sole treasurer; and although he alone was treasurer, he summoned others and rendered an accounting through them. It is so stated (in Exod. 38:21:) THESE ARE THE RECORDS OF THE TABERNACLE.
