Tabernacle Building Sunday Exodus 40 Introduction Why are we doing this - ““Set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, on the first day of the first month.” (Exodus 40:2) - first day of the Hebrew calendar month of Nisan.  Nisan: First month of religious year; March-April; Passover falls in this period - celebration of exodus  When was this done - “So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year.” (Exodus 40:17) - 1 year after exodus; 9 months after arrival at Sinai 1. “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.” (Exodus 40:34) God shows approval by being ‘present’ with them 2. “In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted.” (Exodus 40:36-37) God guides them on their faith journey Final recorded act in Exodus - ready to move on with God to destination Please add your comments on
