Exodus 26 - Tabernacle curtains and framing. Cherubim to be woven in to curtains. A veil with cherubim, to separate the Most Holy place where the ark is from the Holy place. Table and lampstand go in the latter. A screen for the entrance to the latter.
27 - The altar, with the usual tools for a grill or fireplace to deal with wood and ashes. Framing and size of the court. Oil for the lampstand
28 - clothes for the priests that are beautiful, the 12 tribes engraved on gems, woven into them.
29 - consecrating the priests: 7 day process of washing, clothing, and sacrificing for the priests. The point is to show Israel that God will meet with and dwell with Israel there.
30 - altar of incense; census tax; bronze basin for priestly water-washing. An exclusive recipe for anointing oil to anoint priests and tabernacle items.
31 - two men named to craft all these items. Keep the Sabbath. God ends speaking to Moses and gives him the 2 tablets of the covenant, written by God Himself.
32 - Israel gets tired of waiting for Moses, and pressures Aaron to make other gods to worship. He does. God sends Moses down, but he intercedes for Israel, appealing to God's promise to bless them. He breaks the tablets at the foot of the mountain, destroys the calf, and rebukes Aaron, who lies about his role. The people remain unrestrained, so Moses sends the Levites to kill any who are still sinning: 3,000.
