出埃及記40:17-35

40:17 第二年正月初一日，帳幕就立起來。
40:18 摩西立起帳幕，安上帶卯的座，立上板，穿上閂，立起柱子。
40:19 在帳幕以上搭罩棚，把罩棚的頂蓋蓋在其上，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。
40:20 又把法版放在櫃裡，把槓穿在櫃的兩旁，把施恩座安在櫃上。
40:21 把櫃抬進帳幕，掛上遮掩櫃的幔子，把法櫃遮掩了，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。
40:22 又把桌子安在會幕內，在帳幕北邊，在幔子外。
40:23 在桌子上將餅陳設在耶和華面前，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。
40:24 又把燈臺安在會幕內，在帳幕南邊，與桌子相對，
40:25 在耶和華面前點燈，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。
40:26 把金壇安在會幕內的幔子前，
40:27 在壇上燒了馨香料做的香，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。
40:28 又掛上帳幕的門簾。
40:29 在會幕的帳幕門前，安設燔祭壇，把燔祭和素祭獻在其上，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。
40:30 把洗濯盆安在會幕和壇的中間，盆中盛水，以便洗濯。
40:31 摩西和亞倫並亞倫的兒子在這盆裡洗手洗腳。
40:32 他們進會幕或就近壇的時候，便都洗濯，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。
40:33 在帳幕和壇的四圍立了院帷，把院子的門簾掛上。這樣，摩西就完了工。
40:34 當時，雲彩遮蓋會幕，耶和華的榮光就充滿了帳幕。
40:35 摩西不能進會幕；因為雲彩停在其上，並且耶和華的榮光充滿了帳幕。

¹⁷ So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year. ¹⁸ When Moses set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames, inserted the crossbars and set up the posts. ¹⁹ Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the Lord commanded him.
²⁰ He took the tablets of the covenant law and placed them in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it. ²¹ Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded him.
²² Moses placed the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain ²³ and set out the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord commanded him.
²⁴ He placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle ²⁵ and set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord commanded him.
²⁶ Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain ²⁷ and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord commanded him.
²⁸ Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle. ²⁹ He set the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings, as the Lord commanded him.
³⁰ He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, ³¹ and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet. ³² They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord commanded Moses.
³³ Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

    出埃及記以摩西完成會幕的工程做結束，這不僅事物品的完成，更是包括祭司的就定位。這些完成了之後，上帝的榮光降下，表是上帝的喜悅！如同經文所說：「當時，雲彩遮蓋會幕，耶和華的榮光就充滿了帳幕。摩西不能進會幕；因為雲彩停在其上，並且耶和華的榮光充滿了帳幕。」

    當日的會幕充滿上帝的榮光，今天的教會當然也是充滿上帝的榮耀！正如希伯來書所說：「  因為基督並不是進了人手所造的聖所（這不過是真聖所的影像），乃是進了天堂，如今為我們顯在上帝面前；也不是多次將自己獻上，像那大祭司每年帶著牛羊的血（牛羊的血：原文作不是自己的血）進入聖所，如果這樣，他從創世以來，就必多次受苦了。但如今在這末世顯現一次，把自己獻為祭，好除掉罪。」（9:24-26）

    也因為這樣，基督的教會勝過會幕的榮華，是上帝的愛子所充滿的！正如以弗所書1章23節所說：「教會是他的身體，是那充滿萬有者所充滿的。」

    願主的榮光充滿在教會！
