Exodus 40

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

“On the first day of the month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

3 And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.

and have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over the Ark with the veil,

4 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.

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

5 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.

And you have put the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and have put the covering of the opening to the Dwelling Place,

6 And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

and have put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

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

and have put the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and have put water [in] there.

8 And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.

And you have set the court all around, and have placed the covering of the gate of the court,

9 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.

and have taken the anointing oil, and anointed the Dwelling Place, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it has been holy;

10 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 you have anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar has been most holy;

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

and you have anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.

And you have brought Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water;

13 And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.

and you have clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he has acted as priest to Me.

14 And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.

And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them with coats,

15 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.

and anointed them as you have anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing has been to them for a continuous priesthood throughout their generations.”

16 And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.

And Moses does according to all that YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.

17 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.

And it comes to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, the Dwelling Place has been raised up;

18 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.

and Moses raises up the Dwelling Place, and sets its sockets, and places its boards, and places its bars, and raises its pillars,

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

and spreads the tent over the Dwelling Place, and puts the covering of the tent on it above, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

20 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.

And he takes and puts the Testimony into the Ark, and sets the poles on the Ark, and puts the propitiatory covering on the Ark above;

21 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.

and brings the Ark into the Dwelling Place, and places the veil of the covering, and covers over the Ark of the Testimony, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

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

And he puts the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the Dwelling Place northward, at the outside of the veil,

23 and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

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

And he puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward,

25 And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

and causes the lamps to go up before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

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

And he sets the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting, before the veil,

27 And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

and makes incense on it—spice-incense—as YHWH has commanded Moses.

28 And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.

And he sets the covering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place,

29 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 has set the altar of the burnt-offering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and causes the burnt-offering to go up on it, and the present, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

30 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.

And he puts the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and puts water [in] there for washing,

31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:

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

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

in their going into the Tent of Meeting, and in their drawing near to the altar, they wash, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

33 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.

And he raises up the court all around the Dwelling Place, and around the altar, and places the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completes the work.

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

And the cloud covers the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place;

35 And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

and Moses has not been able to go into the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud has dwelt on it, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place.

36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.

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

37 And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.

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

38 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.

For the cloud of YHWH [is] on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
