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.
