Ex. 40:12–15 The anointing of Aaron and his sons commanded here is described in Lev. 8:1–13.
Ex. 40:16–33 The people’s strict obedience to God’s commands showed that they had repented of their sin with the golden calf. This made it possible for God to dwell among them again (vv. 34–38; compare “I will not go up among you,” 33:3).
Ex. 40:34–38 The repetition in these verses emphasizes that the Lord is present with all his glory in the midst of his people. They can know that he is their God who has brought them out of the land of Egypt, and who dwells among them (see 29:43–46).
