출애굽기 40:36-38 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 40:34-38

As when, in the creation, God had finished this earth, which he designed for man's habitation, he made man, and put him in possession of it, so when Moses had finished the tabernacle, which was designed for God's dwelling-place among men, God came and took possession of it. The shechinah, the divine eternal Word, though not yet made flesh, yet, as a prelude to that event, came and dwelt among them, John 1:14. This was henceforward the place of his throne, and the place of the soles of his feet... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 40:36

And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle ,.... 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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 40:37

But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not ,.... Even if it continued so two days, or a month, or a year, as very probably it sometimes did; which will in some measure account for the long continuance of the Israelites in the wilderness, see Numbers 9:22 . till the day that it was taken up : or, "of its ascent" F6 העלתו "sustolli ejus", Montanus. , being "lifted up", or going upwards, higher in the air, right over the tabernacle, or perhaps more to the front of... read more

For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day ,.... Or over it F7 על המשכן "supra tabernaculum", Drusius. , it covered it, when it abode upon it, and rested; and stood on high over it when it moved and the people journeyed: and fire was on it by night ; the same phenomenon which had the appearance of a cloud in the day time shone like fire in the night time: or "fire was in it" F8 בו "in ea"; Fagius, Junius & Tremellius; Drusius. ; that is, in the cloud;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 40:36

When the cloud was taken up - The subject of these three last verses has been very largely explained in the notes on Exodus 13:21 , to which, as well as to the general remarks on that chapter, the reader is requested immediately to refer. See Clarke's note on Exodus 13:21 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 40:38

For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day - This daily and nightly appearance was at once both a merciful providence, and a demonstrative proof of the Divinity of their religion: and these tokens continued with them throughout all their journeys; for, notwithstanding their frequently repeated disobedience and rebellion, God never withdrew these tokens of his presence from them, till they were brought into the promised land. When, therefore, the tabernacle became fixed, because... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 40:38

Verse 38 38.For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle. Moses more distinctly explains what he had said generally respecting the cloud, viz., that by night a fiery column appeared, because the cloud would not have been visible amidst the darkness. A second explanation is also added, that this did not happen once or twice only, but “in all their journeys;” so that they were never without a sight of the cloud, which might be a witness of God’s presence, whether, being settled on the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 40:34-38

The house filled with glory. The close of the book of Exodus is worthy of the greatness of its subject. It ends where the history of the world will end, with the descent of Jehovah's glory to dwell with men ( Revelation 21:3 ). We have seen Israel in bondage; have beheld its redemption; have followed it through the wilderness; have heard the thunders of the law at Sinai; have been witnesses of the nation's covenant with God; have seen its shameful apostasy; have traced the steps of its... read more
