[Avodah] Pikudei If You Do Your Part, God Will Do His

[Cantor Wolberg]

When it was time to actually erect the mishkan, the weight of the  
krashim, the wooden uprights, made the task virtually impossible. The  
workmen could not erect the Tabernacle because of its massive weight.  
They brought it to Moses. He asked God how it was possible for a human  
being to erect it. God told him to make the attempt and the Tabernacle  
would stand on its own, as if he had put it up. Therefore, the Torah  
states in the passive voice, the Tabernacle was erected (40:17), to  
imply although Moses tried to erect it, it stood up by itself,  
miraculously. (Rashi).
