Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Exodus 40:29

(29) He put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle.—On the altar of burnt offering, see Exodus 27:1-8; Exodus 38:1-7. Some preposition has fallen out before the word “door.” Our translators suppose an omission of ’al, “at,” but it is more probable that liphney, which occurs in Exodus 40:6, is the word omitted. The altar was not “at the door,” but “before” or “in front of the door.”And offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering.—Offered upon it, i.e., the first... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Exodus 40:1-38

Exodus 40:2 What makes worship impressive is just its publicity, its external manifestation, its sound, its splendour, its observance universally and visibly, holding its sway through all the details both of our outward and of our inward life. Joubert. All the charm of ritual and ceremonial in worship has for Pater an indefinable and constant attraction.

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 40:1-38

THE TABERNACLE ERECTED AND ARRANGED (vs.1-33) About one year had elapsed after the Passover in Egypt. Now the Lord instructs Moses to set up the tabernacle on the first day of the first month. The first article of furniture then mentioned is the ark (v.3), to be placed inside the tabernacle, for this speaks of Christ as the Sustainer of the throne of God. Therefore it had a place of real separation, for it had to be separate even from the table, the lampstand and the incense altar, for these... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Exodus 40:1-38

NOTE (1) that an important principle in the gifts was the willingness of those who gave (Exodus 35:5 ); (2) the women contributed as well as the men (Exodus 35:22 ); (3)... read more
