Bible Comments

There I will meet with the children of Israel I will make this tabernacle the seat of my cloud of glory, which will be the symbol of my divine presence, and from thence I will give frequent discoveries of my will, and tokens of my favour toward them. The tabernacle of the congregation אהל מועד ohel mogned, the tabernacle of meeting, so called because there God and his people met together. I will sanctify Aaron and his sons God sanctified, set them apart, and marked them out to be his priests in a solemn manner by the appearance of his glory at their first sacrifice, and by sending fire from heaven to consume their burnt-offering, Leviticus 9:23-24.
