Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Exodus 40:16-33

When the tabernacle and the furniture of it were prepared, they did not put off the rearing of it till they came to Canaan, though they now hoped to be there very shortly; but, in obedience to the will of God, they set it up in the midst of their camp, while they were in the wilderness. Those that are unsettled in the world must not think that this will excuse them in their continued irreligion; as if it were enough to begin to serve God when they begin to be settled in the world. No; a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 40:18

And Moses reared up the tabernacle ,.... Not of himself, but with the help of others: and fastened the sockets, and set up the boards thereof ; fixed the silver sockets all around, which were the foundation of the building, and placed and established the shittim boards in them: and put in the bars thereof ; to keep the boards close and tight: and reared up his pillars ; the pillars that supported the vail between the holy and holy of holies, and those on which the hanging for the... read more

And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle ,.... Which were curtains of goats' hair: and put the covering of the tent above upon it ; which was of rams' skins died red, and over that another covering of badgers' skins: as the Lord commanded Moses ; Exodus 26:7 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 40:20

And he took and put the testimony into the ark ,.... The ten commands, called the "testimony", because they testified and declared what was the will of God with respect to things to be done, or not done. The Targum of Jonathan says, he put the broken pieces of the tables into it; but what became of them, or were done with them, we nowhere read; and it does not appear that any other, but those that Moses hewed by the order of God, were put into the ark; see Deuteronomy 10:1 . and set the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 40:21

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle ,.... Into that part of it called the holy of holies: and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony ; the vail which divided between the and most holy place, and so kept out of sight the ark of the testimony within, from being seen by any, even by the priests in the holy place: as the Lord commanded Moses ; Exodus 26:33 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Exodus 40:22

And he put the table in the tent of the congregation ,.... In the holy place; for there the shewbread table, which is here meant, was put: upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail ; on the north side of the tabernacle, at a little distance from the walls, which were the curtains and boards, even in the holy place on the outside of the vail, which divided from the most holy place. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 40:19

He spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle - By the tent, in this and several other places, we are to understand the coverings made of rams' skins, goats' hair, etc., which were thrown over the building; for the tabernacle had no other kind of roof. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Exodus 40:20

And put the testimony into the ark - That is, the two tables on which the ten commandments had been written. See Exodus 25:16 . The ark, the golden table with the shew-bread, the golden candlestick, and the golden altar of incense, were all in the tabernacle, within the veil or curtains, which served as a door, Exodus 40:22 , Exodus 40:24 , Exodus 40:26 . And the altar of burnt-offering was by the door, Exodus 40:29 . And the brazen laver, between the tent of the congregation and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Exodus 40:1-33

THE COMMAND TO SET UP THE TABERNACLE , AND ITS PERFORMANCE . All was now ready. Bezaleel and Aholiab had completed their task. The work for the tabernacle had been given in, and had been approved Moses did not however at once set it up. He waited for a command from God. After a short interval, the command came. He was ordered to select the first day of the ensuing year—the first day of the first year of freedom—for the operation. Directions were given him, which fixed... read more
