1 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Then Yahweh 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 of the new year you must set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

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

You must place the ark of the testimony in it, and you must shield the ark with the curtain.

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,

You must bring in the table and set in order the things that belong on it. Then you must bring in the lampstand and set up the lamps.

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.

You must put the golden incense altar before the ark of the testimony, and you must put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

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

You must put the altar for burnt offerings in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

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

You must put the large basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and you must put water in it.

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

You must set up the courtyard around it, and you must hang up the curtain at the courtyard entrance.

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.

You must take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything that is in it. You must set it apart and all its furnishings to me; then it will 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.

You must anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all its utensils. You must set apart the altar to me and it will become very holy to me.

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

You must anoint the bronze basin and its base and set it apart to me.

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

You are to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and you must 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.

You are to clothe Aaron with the garments that are set apart to me, anoint him and set him apart so that he may serve as my priest.

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

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.

You must anoint them as you anointed their father so that they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will make for them a permanent priesthood throughout their people's generations.”

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

This is what Moses did; he followed all that Yahweh had commanded him. He did all these things.

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

So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year.

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 set up the tabernacle, put its bases in place, set up its frames, attached its bars, and set up its pillars and 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.

He spread the covering over the tabernacle and put tent over it, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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.

He took the covenant decrees and put them into the ark. He also placed the poles on the ark and put the atonement lid on 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.

He brought the ark into the tabernacle. He set up the curtain for it to shield the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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

He put the table into the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain.

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

He placed the bread in order on the table before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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

He put the lampstand into the tent of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

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

He lit the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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

He put the golden incense altar into the tent of meeting in front of the curtain.

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

He burned fragrant incense on it, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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

He hung the curtain at the tabernacle entrance.

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.

He put the altar for the burnt offering at the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting. He offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as Yahweh had commanded him.

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

He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and he put water in it for washing.

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

Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet from the basin

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 would go into the tent of meeting and whenever they would go up to the altar. They washed themselves, as Yahweh 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.

Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar. He set up the curtain at the courtyard entrance. In this way, Moses finished the work.

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

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and Yahweh's glory 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.

Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and because Yahweh's glory filled the tabernacle.

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

Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey.

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

But if the cloud did not rise up from the tabernacle, then the people would not travel. They would stay until the day that it was lifted 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 Yahweh's cloud was over the tabernacle by day, and his fire was over it by night, in plain view of all the people of Israel throughout their journey.
