Exodus 40:28-38 Amplified Bible (AMP)

28. And he set up the hanging or screen at the door of the tabernacle.

29. [Moses] put the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting and offered on it the burnt offering and the cereal offering, as the Lord commanded him.

30. And Moses set the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

31. And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.

32. When they went into the Tent of Meeting or came near the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses.

33. And he erected the court round about the tabernacle and the altar and set up the hanging or screen at the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

34. Then the cloud [the Shekinah, God's visible presence] covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle! [Rev. 15:8.]

35. And Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud remained upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36. In all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the Israelites went onward;

37. But if the cloud was not taken up, they did not journey on till the day that it was taken up.

38. For throughout all their journeys the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
