Explained connections
- Glory fills the house
The cloud of glory fills the newly built tabernacle so Moses cannot enter. Centuries later the same happens at Solomon's temple: priests cannot stand to minister. God's presence moves into each dwelling he chooses.
- The overshadowing cloud
The glory cloud overshadowed the tabernacle so Moses could not enter. Gabriel tells Mary the power of the Most High will overshadow her, using the same Greek verb: Mary becomes the place where God's presence dwells.
