3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
3 Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain.
3 And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
3 Place the Chest of The Testimony in it and screen the Chest with the curtain.
3 You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and partition off the ark with the veil.
3 Place the Ark of the Covenant inside, and install the inner curtain to enclose the Ark within the Most Holy Place.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 40:3
Commentary on Exodus 40:1-15
(Read Exodus 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.
