In this portion, Moses gives an accounting of all the contributions made for the tabernacle. There is also a retelling of the priestly garments made for Aaron and his sons. Then Moses inspects the tabernacle furnishings and is commanded by Yahweh to set it up on the first day of the first month, Nissan. It has been a year since their deliverance from Egypt and now the Israelites have a sacred place for Yahweh’s Presence to dwell.

Moses sets up the and the glory cloud comes and dwells in the tent of meeting but Moses can not enter. Why? Something to ponder. As we conclude the book of Exodus and move into Leviticus let’s ponder the gracious gift of salvation through our Messiah Yeshua. He has made a new and living way for us to go before the Father because of his sinless sacrifice. Moses could not enter but we can come boldly to the throne of grace…so great is our salvation.
