Exodus 40:34

THE DESCENT OF THE GLOEY OF GOD UPON THE TABERNACLE.

(34) Then a cloud. — Heb., the cloud, i.e., the same cloud that had accompanied the host and directed their journeys from Succoth (Exodus 13:20).

Covered the tent. — The cloud rested on the tent outside; the “glory of God,” — some ineffably brilliant appearance — entered inside, and “filled” the entire dwelling. It pleased God thus to manifest His intention of making good His promise to go with the people in person (Exodus 33:17).
