Exodus 40
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, you shall set up the tabernacle of witness,
On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 and you shall place [in it] the ark of the testimony, and shall cover the ark with the veil,
And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.
4 and you shall bring in the table and shall set forth that which is to be set forth on it; and you shall bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it.
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.
5 And you shall place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and you shall put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness.
And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
6 And you shall put the altar of burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and you shall set up the tabernacle round about, and you shall hallow all that belongs to it round about.
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and shall anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shall sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy.
10 And you shall anoint the altar of burnt offerings, and all its furniture; and you shall hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
12 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and you shall wash them with water.
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.
13 And you shall put on Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him, and you shall sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest.
And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
14 And you shall bring up his sons, and shall put garments on them.
And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
15 And you shall anoint them as you did anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations.
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 And Moses did all things whatever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
And Moses did so: as Jehovah had 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 of the month, that the tabernacle was set 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 set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set 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 over it; as Jehovah had 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 put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on 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 hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had 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, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
23 And he put on it the show bread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle towards the south.
And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to 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 lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had 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 on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
29 And he put the altar of the burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
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 out of it:
when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And 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.
And 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 could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, 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 children of Israel journeyed in 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.
And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until 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 on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
