Êxodo 40:34 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 40:34

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation
The outside of it; this cloud was the same with the pillar of cloud that went before the Israelites, as soon almost as they came out of Egypt; and led them through the Red sea, and conducted them to Mount Sinai; only it now appeared in a different form, not erect as a pillar, but more expanded, so as to cover the tabernacle without;

and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle;

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