According to all that the
Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. Then
Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had
commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses blessed them.
And it came to pass in
the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the
tabernacle was raised up. So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its
sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars. And he
spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top
of it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Then the cloud covered
the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And
Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested
above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Whenever the cloud
was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward
in all their journeys. But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not
journey till the day that it was taken up.
For the cloud of the Lord
was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of
all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
The last chapters are the detail
of the work of building the Tabenarcle.
Fellow Christ-followers and
gospel-carriers is it not comforting to know we don’t walk or journey on our
own.
He
walks alongside with us in the person of the Holy Spirit in our time.
