Significance: This intertextual connection traces the creation theme through Israel's Scriptures. Exodus 40's portrayal of creation account and divine ordering finds development in 2 Chronicles 7, revealing how Israel's poets and prophets understood creation as pointing forward to God's ultimate creative work. In Christ, the Creator enters creation to restore what was marred by the Fall and inaugurate new creation (2 Cor 5:17; Col 1:15-20).
