Êxodo 40:36 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 40:36

And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle,
&c.] By the Lord himself, or it removed by his order, that is, rose up and stood above the tabernacle, and appeared in the form of a pillar, and went before it:

the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys;
the motion of the cloud was a direction to set forward and continue their journey as long as it lasted; but when it rested and abode upon the tabernacle, then they stopped and rested also, as is suggested in the following verse ( Exodus 40:37 ) , see ( Numbers 9:17-23 ) thus the saints are to be followers of God as dear children, and to follow the Lamb whithersoever he goes or directs, and walk after the Spirit, the dictates and directions thereof; so the wheels in Ezekiel's vision went and stood, as did the living creatures, and the spirit in them, ( Ezekiel 1:19-21 ) .

Êxodo 40:36 In-Context

34 Então a nuvem cobriu a Tenda do Encontro, e a glória do SENHOR encheu o tabernáculo.

35 Moisés não podia entrar na Tenda do Encontro, porque a nuvem estava sobre ela, e a glória do SENHOR enchia o tabernáculo.

36 Sempre que a nuvem se erguia sobre o tabernáculo, os israelitas seguiam viagem;

37 mas, se a nuvem não se erguia, eles não prosseguiam; só partiam no dia em que ela se erguia.

38 De dia a nuvem do SENHOR ficava sobre o tabernáculo, e de noite havia fogo na nuvem, à vista de toda a nação de Israel, em todas as suas viagens.
