Esodo 40:32 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 40:32

When they went into the tent of the congregation
Not only at this time, but at all other times:

and when they came near unto the altar, they washed;
to the altar of burnt offering to offer sacrifice; and also to the altar of incense, and burn incense on that; for before whatever service they performed in the tabernacle they washed:

as the Lord commanded Moses;
( Exodus 30:20 ) this phrase is near twenty times expressed in this and the preceding chapter, to show that everything was done by the workmen, and everything put in its proper place by Moses, exactly according to the will of God; no one pursuing his own fancy and private judgment, but all consulting the mind of God, and acting according to that.

Esodo 40:32 In-Context

30 E pose la Conca fra il Tabernacolo della convenenza, e l’Altare; e vi mise dentro dell’acqua, da lavare.
31 E Mosè, ed Aaronne, e i suoi figliuoli, se ne lavarono le mani ed i piedi.
32 Quando entravano nel Tabernacolo della convenenza, e quando si accostavano all’Altare, si lavavano; come il Signore avea comandato a Mosè.
33 Poi rizzò il Cortile d’intorno al Tabernacolo, e all’Altare; e mise il Tappeto all’entrata del Cortile. Così Mosè fornì l’opera.
34 E la nuvola coperse il Tabernacolo della convenenza, e la gloria del Signore empiè il Tabernacolo.
