In Parshat Pekudei, the Mishkan is completed and all its components are brought to Moses, who erects it and anoints it with the holy anointing oil. Aaron and the priests are given their clothing for work in the Sanctuary. A cloud descends upon the Tent of Meeting, and God’s presence fills the Mishkan.
