< Exodus 40 >

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
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, at the new moon, you shall set up the tabernacle of witness,
3 And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the vaile.
and you shall place [in it] the ark of the testimony, and shall cover the ark with the veil,
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 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.
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 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.
6 Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
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.
7 And thou shalt set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.
8 Then thou shalt appoynt the courte round about, and hang vp the hanging at the courte gate.
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 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.
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 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.
11 Also thou shalt anoynt the Lauer, and his foote, and shalt sanctifie it.
12 Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.
And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and you shall wash 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.
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.
14 Thou shalt also bring his sonnes, and clothe them with garments,
And you shall bring up his sons, and shall put garments 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 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.
16 So Moses did according to all that ye Lord had commanded him: so did he.
And Moses did all things whatever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
17 Thus was the Tabernacle reared vp the first day of the first moneth in the seconde yeere.
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.
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.
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
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.
And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
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 testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
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 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.
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 tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
23 And set the bread in order before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he put on it the show bread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
24 Also he put the Candlesticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, ouer against the Table toward ye Southside of the Tabernacle.
And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle towards the south.
25 And he lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 Moreouer he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the vayle,
And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
27 And burnt sweete incense thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
28 Also he hanged vp the vayle at the doore of the Tabernacle.
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 he put the altar of the burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
30 Likewise he set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and powred water therein to wash with.
31 So Moses and Aaron, and his sonnes washed their handes and their feete thereat.
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
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.
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.
34 Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with 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.
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.
36 Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes.
And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
37 But if the cloude ascended not, then they iourneyed not till the day that it ascended.
And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went 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 a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
