After the construction was completed, God called Moses. God gave him detailed instructions regarding the various [[Sacrifices in the Old Testament|sacrificial offerings]] to be made in the sanctuary, including burnt offerings, grain offerings, fellowship offerings, sin offerings, and guilt offerings.
