Exodus 40:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 40:2
God commands Moses to erect the tabernacle 'on the first day of the first month' (בְּאֶחָד לַחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן, be'echad laChodesh haRishon). This date marks a new beginning—the first month (Abib/Nisan) is Israel's redemption month (Exodus 12:2), and the first day signifies inauguration. Nearly one year after Exodus (19:1), the tabernacle's erection signals covenant completion. The specific date teaches that God orders redemptive history precisely; nothing is random. This 'new year' dedication prefigures Christ's resurrection establishing the new covenant (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 9:15).
