1 โ[1] ืืืงืจื ืื ืืฉื, always out of the cloud; similar to what was described already at Mount Sinai (Exodus 24,16) โHe called to Moses on the seventh day out of the cloud.โ Moses could never enter the Tabernacle without first having obtained permission to do so.
โ[2] ืืืื ืืืขื, to warn Moses not to enter the Tent while Gโdโs glory was still there. Our verse speaks of what occurred on the day when Moses had completed erecting the Tabernacle, for it was then that Gโdโs glory descended to sanctify the site as well as the ones performing their sacred duties in and around it. All of this is the execution of Gโdโs promise in Exodus 29, 43-44 ืื ืืขืืชื ืฉืื ืืื ื ืืฉืจืื ืื ืงืืฉ ืืืืืื, ืืงืืฉืชื ืืช ืืื ืืืขื ืืืช ืืืืื ืืช ืืืจื ืืืช ืื ืื, โand there I will meet with the Israelites and it shall be sanctified by My Presence. I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting, the Altar, Aaron and his sons.โ The same procedure occurred when the Temple which Solomon had built, at the time it was being consecrated. We read in Kings I 8,11 โthe priests could not enter and stand there preparatory to performing their sacred service for the glory of the Lord filled the entire House.โ Filling the House with His glory was the manner in which the structure became sanctified, as was spelled out in the Book of Kings I 9,3. However, after this first day Moses could always enter the sanctuary outside of the Holy of Holies, i.e. up until the dividing curtain, ืคืจืืช. Numbers 7,89 elaborates on this describing that โwhen Moses entered the Tent of Meeting in order to speak with Him, he would hear the sound of Gโdโs voice speaking to him from above the lid of the Holy Ark.โ
