“And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the people.”
Moses and Aaron then went into the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people; and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. Moses and Aaron enter the tent of meeting together — the mediator of the covenant and the mediator of the sacrificial worship enter the divine presence together. When they come out, they bless the community. And then: the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. The divine presence that Moses had been told would appear (verse 4) now appears. The promise of the glory's appearance is fulfilled through the faithful execution of the prescribed worship. The covenant worship creates the occasion for the divine encounter it promises.
