Exodus 40 · Grade 2
God Moves In
Read the Story
God told Moses to set up his tent. Moses put the ark inside. He set up the table, the lamp and the altars. He did everything God told him.
Then a cloud covered the tent. God's glory filled it! It was so full of God's glory that Moses could not go in.
When the cloud lifted up, the people packed up and moved. When the cloud stayed, they stayed. There was a cloud over the tent by day and fire in it at night. God was with them on their whole trip.
