16 So Moses did according to all that ye Lord had commanded him: so did he.
And Moses did so; all, just as the Lord had 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, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and placed the staves on the ark; and he put the mercy-seat upon the ark above.

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the separation, and made therewith a separation for the ark of the testimony; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

34 Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
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.

36 Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings.
37 But if the cloude ascended not, then they iourneyed not till the day that it ascended.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that is 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 upon the tabernacle by day, and a fire was by night on it, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeyings.
