Exodus 40:33-38

The Tabernacle Erected

33 j And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So k Moses finished the work.

The Glory of the Lord

34 Then l the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and m the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 Throughout all their journeys, n whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. 37 But o if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
