²² There, above the cover between the two cherubim^(A) that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet^(B) with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.^(C)

The Glory of the Lord

³⁴ Then the cloud^(A) covered the tent of meeting, and the glory^(B) of the Lord filled the tabernacle. ³⁵ Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory^(C) of the Lord filled the tabernacle.^(D)

⁴² “For the generations to come^(A) this burnt offering is to be made regularly^(B) at the entrance to the tent of meeting,^(C) before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you;^(D)

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses;^(A) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.^(B)

⁸⁹ When Moses entered the tent of meeting^(A) to speak with the Lord,^(B) he heard the voice speaking to him from between the two cherubim above the atonement cover^(C) on the ark of the covenant law.^(D) In this way the Lord spoke to him.
