Then Moses said, this is what the Lord has commanded you to do, so that the glory of the Lord may appear to you. The purpose statement Moses announces before the worship begins: the glory of the Lord will appear as the result of the prescribed worship. The glory that filled the tabernacle at Exodus 40:34–35 is now promised to appear in the midst of the covenant community's worship. The prescribed offerings are not empty ritual but the structured context within which the divine glory makes itself visible to the community. The pattern of obedient worship preceding divine encounter is the foundational principle of the entire Levitical system.
