Esodo 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 ) .

Esodo 40:36 In-Context

34 E la nuvola coperse il Tabernacolo della convenenza, e la gloria del Signore empiè il Tabernacolo.

35 E Mosè non potè entrare nel Tabernacolo della convenenza; conciossiachè la nuvola si fosse posata sopra esso, e la gloria del Signore empiesse il Tabernacolo.

36 Or, quando la nuvola s’alzava d’in sul Tabernacolo, i figliuoli d’Israele si partivano; ciò avvenne in tutte le lor mosse.

37 E, quando la nuvola non si alzava, non si partivano, fino al giorno ch’ella s’alzava.

38 Perciocchè la nuvola del Signore era di giorno sopra il Tabernacolo, e un fuoco v’era di notte, alla vista di tutta la casa d’Israele, in tutti i lor viaggi.
