7:89 Once the Tabernacle had been dedicated and set apart as holy, it was the center of divine revelation. There Moses spoke with God, God’s will was disclosed, and his presence came to rest (Lev 16:2, 13-17). Such communication emanated from the Ark of the Covenant between the two cherubim above the Ark’s cover, also known as the “mercy seat” (cp. Exod 25:17-22). • For the Israelites, this was the special place associated with atonement, even as the Cross has assumed that significance in Christian faith (see Heb 9–10, especially Heb 9:5). God’s voice, as heard by Moses the mediator, fulfilled the expectation established by Exod 25:22 and Num 30:6. The Lord’s presence guaranteed the holiness of Israel’s wilderness sanctuary.
