Why does the Torah not repeat that Betzalel did "as Hashem commanded Moshe", as it does in Pikudei in connection with the Bigdei Kehunah?

The Ramban adds that it may well be that the Torah mentions it there because Betzalel appeared to have changed the order in which they were commanded. Refer to 38:22:1:1..

Why does the Torah repeat Meleches ha'Mishkan five times?

1.

Ramban: Refer to 35:5:2:1 and note, and to 35:11:1:1.

4)

Why does the Torah mention Keruvim in connection with the bottom curtains, but not in connection with the curtains of goats'-hair which covered them?

1.

Hadar Zekenim, Rosh and Riva (in Pasuk14): Because whereas the bottom curtains had designs on them since they were visible from inside 1 the Mishkan, the goats'-hair curtains, which were neither visible from below, nor from above, since they were covered above by the curtains of ram-skins, did not.

They had pictures on both sides, even though the goats' hair curtains covered them on top (PF).
