וְכֵן תַּעֲשׂוּ״ – לְדוֹרוֹת. מֵתִיב רָבָא: כׇּל הַכֵּלִים שֶׁעָשָׂה מֹשֶׁה – מְשִׁיחָתָן מְקַדֶּשֶׁתָּן, מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ – עֲבוֹדָתָן מְחַנַּכְתָּן. וְאַמַּאי? וְנֵימָא ״וְכֵן תַּעֲשׂוּ״ – לְדוֹרוֹת! שָׁאנֵי הָתָם, דְּאָמַר קְרָא: ״וַיִּמְשָׁחֵם וַיְקַדֵּשׁ אֹתָם״ – אוֹתָם בִּמְשִׁיחָה, וְלֹא לְדוֹרוֹת בִּמְשִׁיחָה.

English: “And so shall you do” applies for generations. Rava challenges this from the fact that the vessels made by Moshe were sanctified by anointing, whereas thereafter their service inaugurated them. The answer is that the anointing verse applies specifically to those vessels, not to future generations.

What Is Learned: “And so shall you do” establishes a rule for the sanctuary in later generations, with the original vessels of Moshe treated separately.
