Exodus 40:33b-38 (p. 153) June 25, 2017
So the cloud of the Lord was over the tabernacle by day,
and fire was in the cloud by night,
in the sight of all the house of Israel during all their travels.
Exodus 40:38
The birth of a covenant people
. . . . and so Moses finished the work. Exodus 40:33b
- Led the Exodus –> Experiencing God’s SALVATION
- Mediated the Law –> Responding with the OBEDIENCE of faith [see Romans 1:5-6, p. 1746
- Built the Tabernacle –> Enjoying God’s PRESENCE = WORSHIP [it’s a transitive verb!
Following the glory
In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle,
they would set out . . . .
Exodus 40:36 (see Numbers 10:11-13, p. 223)
- God still invites TOUGH QUESTIONS
