Commentary
Exodus 40 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Exodus, as it marks the completion of the tabernacle and the beginning of the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land. In this chapter, Moses is instructed by God to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shown to him on the mountain. Moses follows God’s instructions and sets up the tabernacle, and then God’s presence fills the tabernacle. This is a significant moment in the book of Exodus, as it marks the beginning of the Israelites’ journey to the Promised Land.
