A Story of Resolution
The inability of Moses to enter the tent of meeting at the end of Exodus signifies a crisis in the relationship between God and his people, stemming from the story of the golden calf. This unresolved conflict drives the narrative into Leviticus, where the opening line highlights this rupture. However, as the story progresses into the book of Numbers, Moses is finally able to enter the tent of meeting, signifying resolution and the restoration of the relationship between God and his people. This progression from crisis to resolution throughout the scrolls of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers showcases the priestly manual as a continuous story, illustrating the desire for closeness with God amidst obstacles that ultimately get overcome.
