Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.Okay, I'm confused again. Before, Moses was the only person who was able to approach God in His glory, but now we're told that he couldn't approach God because of His glory?
Maybe this is because when Moses saw God's glory before, he was seeing only a part; he was not permitted to see the fullness of God, for he would have died. So if now God is fully filling the tabernacle, that is a greater extent which would kill Moses if he beheld it? To think of a tent, constructed by men, assembled by men, to be so special that God would fill it with Himself, so that those same men could never even see what was happening, is something I don't know that I'll ever understand until the day I get to experience it firsthand.
