  4. From an Ancient Jewish Tradition “The Holy One, blessed be He, commanded Moshe [and company] to construct the tabernacle. It took Moshe [and company] three months to complete this process, and the work was completed on the 25th day of the month of Kislev [what millennia later became the 1st day of Hanukkah]. The tabernacle was completed, however it was then disassembled, folded up and put in storage [until Nisan 1]” (Yalkut Shimoni Exodus 39).
