EXODUS 40

THE TABERNACLE COMPLETED 

Moses blesses the tabernacle once it is finished and anoints it with oil to consecrate it. 

Aaron and his sons are also anointed with the oil as the priests. 

Moses is not able to enter the tabernacle because God’s presence is there in the form of a cloud and the form of a fire, the same as in Exodus 14. 

Exodus 40:38 - For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
