Book of Exodus - Chapter 40 - Verse 21

40:21
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Meaning

When the verse states, "And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses," it is referring to a significant event in the history of the Israelites detailed in the book of Exodus. The ark of the testimony, also known as the Ark of the Covenant, was a sacred container that held the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments given to Moses by God. The tabernacle was a portable sanctuary that the Israelites carried with them during their journey in the wilderness. The veil of the covering served as a barrier between the Holy of Holies, where the ark was placed, and the rest of the tabernacle. By following the Lord's commandments to the letter, the Israelites demonstrated their obedience and reverence for God. This verse highlights the importance of following divine instructions and the significance of the ark as a symbol of God's presence among his people.
