And thou shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it.
And thou shall set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

16 And Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
Thus did Moses. According to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.
17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up.
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.
18 And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
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.
19 And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
20 And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
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.
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on [it] the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.
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.
22 And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil.
23 And he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
And he set the bread in order upon it before Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south.
And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he lit the lamps before Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,
27 and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
29 And he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
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 he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it, with which to wash.
31 And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
They washed when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near to the altar, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
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.
34 And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
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.
36 And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys,
37 And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.
38 For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
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.
