Welcome to Day 27 of Word for Word: The Bible.

In today’s episode, we conclude the book of Exodus by reading chapters 37–40 word for word from the New International Version (NIV). These chapters bring the Exodus narrative to a powerful close as the tabernacle is completed and God’s presence comes to dwell among His people.

Today’s reading includes:

• The construction of the ark, table, lampstand, and altar
• The courtyard and materials used for the tabernacle
• The making of the priestly garments for Aaron and his sons
• Moses’ inspection of the completed work
• The setting up of the tabernacle
• The glory of the LORD filling the tabernacle

These final chapters emphasize faithful obedience. The Israelites complete every task exactly as the LORD commanded, and in response, God’s presence fills the tabernacle in a visible and powerful way.

Exodus ends not merely with freedom from Egypt, but with God dwelling among His people—guiding them by His presence and remaining with them throughout their journey.

Each episode of Word for Word: The Bible includes:

• A brief opening prayer
