Anoint them as you did their father, so they may also serve me as priests. With their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”

The Glory of the LORD
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
The LORD’s Glory Fills the Tabernacle
Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out;
Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it.
but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.
For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
The cloud of the LORD hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.
