16 Moses carried out all the Lord's instructions.

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

17 The Tabernacle was put up on the first day of the first month of the second year.

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

18 When Moses put up the Tabernacle, he placed its stands, attached its frames, connected its crossbars, and erected its posts.

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 Then he spread the tent over the Tabernacle and placed the covering over the tent, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

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 Moses took the Testimony and put it in the Ark. He attached the poles to the Ark, and he placed the atonement cover on the top of 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 Then he carried the Ark into the Tabernacle. He put up the veil, and made sure the Ark of the Testimony was behind it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

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 Moses placed the table inside the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the Tabernacle, outside 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 laid out the bread on it in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

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

24 He placed the lampstand 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 and put up the lamps in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

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

26 Moses set up the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,

And he put [the] altar of gold in [the] tent of meeting before the curtain.

27 and he burned aromatic incense on it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

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

28 Then he put up the screen at the entrance to the Tabernacle.

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

29 He set up the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and presented the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had ordered him to do.

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 placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

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 used it to wash their hands and feet

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

32 They washed whenever they went into the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.

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 Moses set up the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar, and he put up the curtain for the courtyard entrance. This marked the end of the work done by Moses.

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 glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

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

35 Moses could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud remained on it, and the glory of the Lord 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 Whenever the cloud rose from the Tabernacle, the Israelites would set off again on their journey.

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

37 If the cloud did not rise, they wouldn't set out until it did.

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

38 The cloud of the Lord stayed over the Tabernacle by day, and fire burned inside the cloud by night, so that it could be seen by every Israelite wherever they traveled.

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.
