Exodus 40 tells the conclusion of the construction of the tabernacle, followed by its assembly and consecration. Moses follows the instructions given by God and assembles the tabernacle just as he was ordered to him, and the glory of the Lord fills the sacred space. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Exodus 40:
Numbers 9:15-16: "On the day the tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered it, that is, the testimony tent; and from the afternoon to the morning, there was upon the tabernacle as a fire appearance. So it happened regularly: the cloud covers the day, and at night there seemed to be fire. " This verse reports the constant presence of God's glory in the tabernacle, which is a central theme of Exodus 40.
Leviticus 8:10-11: "Then Moses took the oil from the anointing and anointed the tabernacle and all that was in him, consecrating them. With seven times anointing he sprinkled the altar and anointed the altar and all his utensils and the Basin with its base, consecrating them. " This verse describes the consecration of the tabernacle and its utensils, as described in Exodus 40.
Psalm 26:8: "Lord, I love the place of your dwelling, the tabernacle where your glory dwells." This psalm expresses love and worship by the tabernacle and the presence of God in it.
John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we have seen His glory, as the glory of the Father's only begotten." This verse refers to God's dwelling among human beings, which is a theme related to God's presence in the tabernacle.
Hebrews 9:11: "But Christ, having come as a high priest of the goods already performed, through the greatest and most perfect tabernacle, not done by hands, that is, not of this creation." This verse makes a comparison between the earthly tabernacle built by Moses and the heavenly tabernacle which is God's dwelling, suggesting a connection between the themes of Exodus 40 and the redemptive work of Christ.
