There are a lot of details in this reading about how precise the ephod for the priests needed to be. The only people able to make such a delicate article for use in worship were skilled workers. So for the first time, we learn about the importance of a person using his gifts to help in the worship of the Lord.
God wants us to use our gifts, talents, and skills for the sake of worship, too. Sure, we're not building a new tabernacle, but it's important for us to use what God has equipped us with to help in the building up of His Kingdom and in worship. Long before Paul wrote about spiritual gifts, we see the importance of them in ancient Israel!
