Day 28: Exodus 38-40

  1. We are still constructing the tabernacle. Women are allowed near the tent? "Ministering women ministered at the door of the tent of meetings." Yahweh's permanent residence is marked by "fine twined linen, bronze, and blue and purple and the scarlet stuff." In moving from the tent to the tabernacle Yahweh will share this space with the "ark of the testimony" or the"tabernacle of the testimony" which houses the ark and the ten commandments. Israel seems to be having closer encounters and more frequent encounters with Yahweh who moves into the portable sanctuary. "The cloud covered the tent of the meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle." "And fire was in it at night." The fact that it was portable enabled Israel to have God always with them.
