1). Israel was at Mt. Sinai 10 days short of a year. The entire construction of the tabernacle, including all the furniture all the for the inside and all the garments of the priesthood and all the instruments for the sacrificing of the animals, was all completed before they left Sinai. We must remember that the first 40 days plus, for Moses being on the mountain the first time is also included in this time (Exodus 24:18). So we must subtract that forty from the overall number and discover that the Tabernacle was constructed during that time. 

a). Exodus 19:1 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

b). Numbers 10:11, 12 And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.

10:12 And the children of Israel took the ir journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

c). Exodus 40:33-36 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

40:35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

2). All of the children of Israel had been slaves under Egyptian dominance and built treasure cities for Pharoah. Most of the Israelites were already craftsmen, males and females,  thoroughly able to accomplish the tasks. Add to that the wisdom of God and you have, after it was finished, a Tabernacle fit for the one true God.   

a). Exodus 1:11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

b). Most of the children of Israel were were craftsmen of one sort or another and it was these who went to work on the Tabernacle and everything that supported it.

 3). When every firstborn of the Egyptians died, which included every home (Exodus 12:30), the Egyptians were terrified and gave the Israelites whatever wealth they asked for because they believed if they didn’t comply they would all be dead.

a). Exodus 12:33-36 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

12:35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

12:36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

4). The amount of wealth that the people of Israel left with was more than enough to build the Tabernacle worthy of God from freewill offerings and have enough left for themselves.
