Exodus - 40:5 Meaning
“And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
40:1-15 When a new year begins, we should seek to serve God better than the year before. In half a year the tabernacle was completed. When the hearts of numbers are earnest in a good cause, much may be done in a short time; and when the commandments of God are continually attended to, as the rule of working, all will be done well. The high-priesthood was in the family of Aaron till Christ came, and in Him, the substance of all these shadows, it continues for ever.
“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.”
