Exodus 40

1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Then spake Yahweh unto 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, shalt thou rear the habitation, of the tent of meeting;

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

and thou shalt put therein, the ark of the testimony, —and shalt screen 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 thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order what is to be arranged thereupon, —and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and mount the lamps thereof;

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 thou shalt place the altar of gold for incense, before the ark of the testimony, —and put up the screen for the opening of the habitation;

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

and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, —before the opening of the habitation 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 thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,

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

And thou shalt put up the court round about, and hang up the screen 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 thou shalt take the oil of anointing, and anoint the habitation and all that is therein, —and shalt hallow it. and all the furniture thereof so shall it 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 thou shalt anoint the altar of ascending sacrifice, and all its utensils, —and hallow the altar, so shall the altar be most holy:

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

and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow 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 thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, —and shalt bathe them in the 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 thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, —and shalt anoint him and hallow him so shall he minister as priest unto me.

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

His sons also, shalt thou bring near, —and shalt clothe them with tunics;

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 shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister as priests unto me, —so shall their anointing remain to them for an age-abiding priesthood, to their generations.

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

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

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

Thus came it to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, that the habitation was reared.

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.

Yea Moses reared the habitation, and placed its sockets, and fixed its boards, and fastened its bars, —and reared 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.

Then spread he abroad the tent upon the habitation, and put the covering of the tent upon it, above, —As Yahweh 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 and placed the testimony within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark, —and placed the propitiatory upon 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 brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony, —As Yahweh 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 placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;

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

and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, —As Yahweh 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 lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table, —on the side of the habitation southward;

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

and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, —before the veil;

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

and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

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

And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;

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, the altar of ascending-sacrifice, put he at the entrance of the habitation of the tent of meeting, —and he caused to ascend thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, —As Yahweh 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 put the laver, between the tent of meeting, and the altar, —and put therein water for bathing;

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

and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;

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.

when they were entering into the tent of meeting, and when they were drawing near unto the altar, then used they to bathe, —As Yahweh 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 reared the court round about to the habitation and to the altar, and put up the screen of the gate of the court, —and Moses finished the work.

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

Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;

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 tent of meeting, because the cloud had made its habitation thereupon, —and the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation.

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

And whensoever the cloud ascended from off the habitation, then did the sons of Israel set forward, 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 did not ascend, then did they not set forward—until the day when it did ascend.

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 Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, —in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.
