Exodus 40

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

And YHWH speaks 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 month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

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

and have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over 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 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 ye incense Altar of gold before the Arke of the Testimonie, and put the hanging at the doore of 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 Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

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 Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has 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 puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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