Exodus 40:17
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up. And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
The tabernacle was reared up on the first day of the first month in the second year. Its setting belongs to the ordered arrangements appointed for Israel's worship, which were designed to show divine majesty and holiness and the purity required of those who serve. The order and harmony of the tabernacle and of Israel's religious system were meant to reveal the divine character and the desires held for the people to the surrounding nations.
