Exodus 40

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—

2 On the first day of the first month thou shall raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

On the first day of the month, in the first month, shalt thou rear the habitation, of the tent of meeting;

3 And thou shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and thou shall screen the ark with the veil.

and thou shalt put therein, the ark of the testimony, —and shalt screen the ark with the veil;

4 And thou shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it, and thou shall bring in the lampstand, and light the lamps of it.

and thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order what is to be arranged thereupon, —and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and mount the lamps thereof;

5 And thou shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

and thou shalt place the altar of gold for incense, before the ark of the testimony, —and put up the screen for the opening of the habitation;

6 And thou shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, —before the opening of the habitation of the tent of meeting;

7 And thou shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it.

and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,

8 And thou shall set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

And thou shalt put up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

9 And thou shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all the furniture of it. And it shall be holy.

And thou shalt take the oil of anointing, and anoint the habitation and all that is therein, —and shalt hallow it. and all the furniture thereof so shall it be holy.

10 And thou shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar. And the altar shall be most holy.

And thou shalt anoint the altar of ascending sacrifice, and all its utensils, —and hallow the altar, so shall the altar be most holy:

11 And thou shall anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.

and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow it.

12 And thou shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water.

And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, —and shalt bathe them in the water;

13 And thou shall put upon Aaron the holy garments, and thou shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

and thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, —and shalt anoint him and hallow him so shall he minister as priest unto me.

14 And thou shall bring his sons, and put tunics upon them,

His sons also, shalt thou bring near, —and shalt clothe them with tunics;

15 and thou shall anoint them, as thou anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. And their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

and shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister as priests unto me, —so shall their anointing remain to them for an age-abiding priesthood, to their generations.

16 Thus did Moses. According to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.

And Moses did, —according to all that Yahweh had commanded him, so did he.

17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.

Thus came it to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, that the habitation was reared.

18 And Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and raised up its pillars.

Yea Moses reared the habitation, and placed its sockets, and fixed its boards, and fastened its bars, —and reared its pillars.

19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

Then spread he abroad the tent upon the habitation, and put the covering of the tent upon it, above, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark.

And he took and placed the testimony within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark, —and placed the propitiatory upon the ark, above;

21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

and brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

22 And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil.

And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;

23 And he set the bread in order upon it before Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

24 And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table, —on the side of the habitation southward;

25 And he lit the lamps before Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,

And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, —before the veil;

27 and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

28 And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;

29 And he set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

and, the altar of ascending-sacrifice, put he at the entrance of the habitation of the tent of meeting, —and he caused to ascend thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

30 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it, with which to wash.

And he put the laver, between the tent of meeting, and the altar, —and put therein water for bathing;

31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.

and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;

32 They washed when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near to the altar, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

when they were entering into the tent of meeting, and when they were drawing near unto the altar, then used they to bathe, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

33 And he raised up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

And he reared the court round about to the habitation and to the altar, and put up the screen of the gate of the court, —and Moses finished the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;

35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereupon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud had made its habitation thereupon, —and the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation.

36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys,

And whensoever the cloud ascended from off the habitation, then did the sons of Israel set forward, in all their journeyings;

37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.

but if the cloud did not ascend, then did they not set forward—until the day when it did ascend.

38 For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

For, the cloud of Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, —in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.
