16 Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.

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

17 In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.

And it was in the month first in the year second on [day] one of the month it was set up the tabernacle.

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

And he set up Moses the tabernacle and he put bases its and he set up frames its and he put bars its and he set up pillars its.

19 He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and he put [the] covering of the tent over it from to above just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

20 He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

And he took and he put the testimony into the ark and he put the poles on the ark and he put the atonement cover on the ark from to above.

21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the covenant, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and he set up [the] curtain of the screen and he covered over [the] ark of the testimony just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

22 He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.

And he put the table in [the] tent of meeting on [the] side of the tabernacle north-ward from [the] outside of the curtain.

23 He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he arranged on it an arrangement of bread before Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

24 He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

And he put the lampstand in [the] tent of meeting opposite to the table on [the] side of the tabernacle south-ward.

25 He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he lifted up the lamps before Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

26 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 curtain.

27 and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he made smoke on it incense of perfume just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

28 He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

And he set up [the] screen of the entrance of the tabernacle.

29 He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.

And [the] altar of the burnt offering he set up [the] entrance of [the] tabernacle of [the] tent of meeting and he offered up on it the burnt offering and the grain offering just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

30 He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.

And he put the laver between [the] tent of meeting and between the altar and he put there water for washing.

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

And they washed from it Moses and Aaron and sons his hands their and feet their.

32 When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.

When went they into [the] tent of meeting and when drew near they to the altar they washed just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

33 He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

And he set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar and he put [the] screen of [the] gate of the courtyard and he finished Moses the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.

And it covered the cloud [the] tent of meeting and [the] glory of Yahweh it filled the tabernacle.

35 Moses was not able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.

And not he was able Moses to go into [the] tent of meeting for it had settled down over it the cloud and [the] glory of Yahweh it had filled the tabernacle.

36 When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;

And when was taken up the cloud from over the tabernacle they set out [the] people of Israel in all journeyings their.

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

And if not it was taken up the cloud and not they set out until [the] day was taken up it.

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

For [the] cloud of Yahweh [was] over the tabernacle by day and fire it was night on it to [the] eyes of all [the] house of Israel in all journeyings their.
