 EXODUS 40

God tells Moses to set up the Tabernacle, and Moses does as God commanded him, on the first day of the second year of the Exodus. When Moses finishes the work, the cloud covers the Tabernacle, and God's presence fills the Tabernacle. The Israelites travel only when the cloud lifts from the Tabernacle. God's cloud rests over the Tabernacle by day, and fire appears in it by night, throughout the Israelites’ journeys.
