Exodus 40

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And the Lord said to Moses,

2 In the first day of the first moneth in the very first of the same moneth shalt thou set vp the Tabernacle, called ye Tabernacle of the Congregation:

On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.

3 And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the vaile.

And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.

4 Also thou shalt bring in the Table, and set it in order as it doth require: thou shalt also bring in the Candlesticke, and light his lampes,

And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

5 And thou shalt set ye incense Altar of gold before the Arke of the Testimonie, and put the hanging at the doore of the Tabernacle.

And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

6 Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

7 And thou shalt set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.

And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

8 Then thou shalt appoynt the courte round about, and hang vp the hanging at the courte gate.

And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.

9 After, thou shalt take the anoynting oyle, and anoynt the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and halowe it with all the instruments thereof, that it may be holy.

And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:

10 And thou shalt anoynt the Altar of the burnt offring, and all his instruments, and shalt sanctifie the Altar, that it may bee an altar most holie.

And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

11 Also thou shalt anoynt the Lauer, and his foote, and shalt sanctifie it.

And put oil on the washing-vessel and its base, and make them holy.

12 Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.

Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,

13 And thou shalt put vpon Aaron the holy garmentes, and shalt anoynt him, and sanctifie him, that he may minister vnto me in the Priestes office.

You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.

14 Thou shalt also bring his sonnes, and clothe them with garments,

And take his sons with him and put coats on them;

15 And shalt anoynt them as thou diddest anoynt their father, that they may minister vnto mee in the Priestes office: for their anoynting shall be a signe, that the Priesthood shall be euerlasting vnto them throughout their generations.

And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

16 So Moses did according to all that ye Lord had commanded him: so did he.

And Moses did this; as the Lord gave him orders, so he did.

17 Thus was the Tabernacle reared vp the first day of the first moneth in the seconde yeere.

So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

18 Then Moses reared vp the Tabernacle and fastened his sockets, and set vp the boardes thereof, and put in the barres of it, and reared vp his pillars.

Moses put up the House; placing its bases in position and lifting up its uprights, putting in the rods and planting the pillars in their places;

19 And he spred the couering ouer the Tabernacle, and put the couering of that couering on hie aboue it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Stretching the outer tent over it, and covering it, as the Lord had given him orders.

20 And he tooke and put the Testimonie in the Arke, and put the barres in the ringes of the Arke, and set the Merciseate on hie vpon the Arke.

And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it;

21 He brought also the Arke into the Tabernacle, and hanged vp the couering vaile, and couered the Arke of the Testimonie, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he took the ark into the House, hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.

22 Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the Northside of the Tabernacle, without the vaile,

And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil.

23 And set the bread in order before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he put the bread on it in order before the Lord, as the Lord had said.

24 Also he put the Candlesticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, ouer against the Table toward ye Southside of the Tabernacle.

The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

25 And he lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Lighting the lights before the Lord, as the Lord had given him orders.

26 Moreouer he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the vayle,

And he put the gold altar in the Tent of meeting, in front of the veil:

27 And burnt sweete incense thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

28 Also he hanged vp the vayle at the doore of the Tabernacle.

And he put up the curtain at the doorway of the House.

29 After, he set the burnt offring Altar without the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

30 Likewise he set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and powred water therein to wash with.

And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

31 So Moses and Aaron, and his sonnes washed their handes and their feete thereat.

In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,

32 When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approched to the Altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

33 Finally, he reared vp the court rounde about the Tabernacle and the Altar, and hanged vp the vaile at the court gate: so Moses finished the worke.

And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.

34 Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

Then the cloud came down covering the Tent of meeting, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord;

35 So Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, because the cloude abode thereon, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

So that Moses was not able to go into the Tent of meeting, because the cloud was resting on it, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord.

36 Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes.

And whenever the cloud was taken up from the House, the children of Israel went forward on their journey:

37 But if the cloude ascended not, then they iourneyed not till the day that it ascended.

But while the cloud was there, they made no move till it was taken up.

38 For the cloude of the Lord was vpon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their iourneyes.

For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.
