God's Glory Fills the Tabernacle (Exodus 33:1–34:35; 40:1–38)

God will keep His promise to give the Israelites the promised land but He does not plan to go with them.  Moses begs God to go with them because they are His people and God being with them will be what makes them different from the other nations around them.  Moses then asks God to see His glory and God answers.  God’s glory is amazing and awesome.  Moses falls down to worship and once again begs Him to take Israel as His people and God answers by making a covenant with them and giving Moses the Ten Commandments again for Him to put in the Ark of the Tabernacle.  God, who is compassionate and gracious, will go with the Israelites and dwell among them in the Tabernacle that is built!
