EXODUS 40:34 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.”
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. The cloud and the glory: the final and most important event in the entire book of Exodus. The cloud that has guided Israel since Exodus 13:21 descends on the tent of meeting; the glory of the Lord fills the tabernacle. The faithful building prepared the space; the faithful God filled it. 1 Kings 8:10–11 records the same event at Solomon's temple dedication. The God who fills the tabernacle fills every subsequent dwelling He inhabits.
