More about the tabernacle

(Nu 7:89-8:4)

A short note mentions how Moses received God’s messages in the Most Holy Place. Normally, no one except the high priest could enter the Most Holy Place, but Moses’ position was unique (Nu 7:89; cf. Nu 12:7-8; Deut 34:10-12).

Moses passed on instructions to Aaron to ensure that when the lamps were placed on the lampstand, they were positioned to throw light forward towards the opposite wall, and so give good light in the Holy Place (Nu 8:1-4).
