40:34 Yahweh’s splendour fills the tent

(Num. 9:15-23)

34 Then a cloud covered the sacred tent and Yahweh’s power and bright light filled the residence[ref] 35 and Mosheh (Moses) was unable to enter the tent because the cloud had settled on it and Yahweh’s splendour had filled the residence. 36 From then onwards, whenever the cloud went up from over the residence, the Israelis would pack their camp and set out on their travels, 37 but while the cloud remained, they would stay in that place until the cloud lifted. 38 Yahweh’s cloud would be there during the day but it would become fire at night, and so the Israelis could always see it.

40:34: 1Ki 8:10-11; Isa 6:4; Eze 43:4-5; Rev 15:8.

34 And_ the_cloud _it _covered DOM the _tent _of meeting and_the _glory _of YHWH it _filled DOM the_tabernacle.

35 And_not Mosheh he _was _able to_go into the _tent _of meeting if/because it _had _settled _down on/upon/above_him/it the_cloud and_the _glory _of YHWH it _had _filled DOM the_tabernacle.

36 And_when_ the_cloud _was _taken _up from_under the_tabernacle the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) they _set _out in_all _of out _of_their _settings.

37 And_if not the_cloud it _was _taken _up and_not they _set _out until the _day _of it_was _taken _up.

38 If/because the _cloud _of YHWH was_over the_tabernacle by _day and_fire it _was night in/on/over_him/it to_the _eyes _of all _of the _house _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) in_all journeyings _of_their.
