Exodus 40

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And Jehovah speaketh 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, thou dost raise up the tabernacle 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 hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,

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 hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.

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 hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

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

and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle 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 hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.

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

'And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering 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 hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been 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 hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;

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

and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified 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 hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with 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 hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

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

'And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,

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 anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'

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

And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.

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.

And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;

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.

and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth 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.

and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath 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 taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on 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 bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath 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 putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,

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

and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath 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 putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,

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

and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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

And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,

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

and maketh perfume on it — spice-perfume — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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

And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

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 the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath 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 putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,

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

and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;

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

in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath 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 raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.

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

And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;

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 hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.

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

And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;

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

and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:

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 Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
