Exodus 40:1-2

Context
Setting Up the Sanctuary

40:1 1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses: 2  40:2 “On the first day of the first month you are to set up 3  the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

1 sn All of Exod 39:32-40:38 could be taken as a unit. The first section (39:32-43) shows that the Israelites had carefully and accurately completed the preparation and brought everything they had made to Moses: The work of the Lord builds on the faithful obedience of the people. In the second section are the instruction and the implementation (40:1-33): The work of the Lord progresses through the unifying of the work. The last part (40:34-38) may take the most attention: When the work was completed, the glory filled the tabernacle: By his glorious presence, the Lord blesses and directs his people in their worship.

2 tn Heb “and Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying.”

3 tn Heb “you will raise,” an imperfect of instruction.
