16 And Moses did so; all, just as the Lord had commanded him, so did he.

And Moises dide alle thingis whiche the Lord comaundide.

17 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.

Therfor in the firste monethe of the secunde yeer, in the firste dai of the monethe, the tabernacle was set.

18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and placed its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.

And Moises reiside it, and settide the tablis, and foundementis, and barris, and he ordeynede pilers;

19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it above; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

and `spredde abrood the roof on the tabernacle, and puttide an hilyng aboue, as the Lord comaundide.

20 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.

He puttide also the witnessyng in the arke, and he settide barris with ynne, and Goddis answeryng place aboue.

21 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.

And whanne he hadde brouyt the arke in to the tabernacle, he hangide a veil bifor it, that he schulde fille the comaundement of the Lord.

22 And he put the table in the tabernacle of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle, northward, without the vail.

He settide also the boord in the tabernacle of witnessyng, at the north coost, without the veil,

23 And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

and he ordeynede the looues of settyng forth bifore, as the Lord comaundide to Moises.

24 And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.

He settide also the candilstike in the tabernacle of witnessyng, euene ayens the boord,

25 And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

in the south side, and settide lanternes bi ordre, bi the comaundement of the Lord.

26 And he placed the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation before the vail.

He puttide also the goldun auter vndur the roof of witnessyng,

27 And he burnt thereon the incense of spices; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

ayens the veil, and he brente theronne encense of swete smellynge spiceries, as the Lord comaundide to Moises.

28 And he put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.

He settide also a tente in the entryng of the tabernacle,

29 And the altar of burnt-offering he placed by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; and he offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meat-offering; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

and the auter of brent sacrifice in the porche of the witnessyng, and he offride therynne brent sacrifice, and sacrifices, as the Lord comaundide.

30 And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, for washing.

Also he ordeynede the `waischyng vessel, bitwixe the tabernacle of witnessyng and the auter, and fillide it with watir.

31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet.

And Moises, and Aaron, and his sones, waischiden her hondis and feet,

32 When they went in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed themselves; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

whanne thei entriden into the roof of boond of pees, and neiyeden to the auter, as the Lord comaundide to Moises.

33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the hanging of the gate of the court; and so did Moses finish the work.

He reiside also the greet street, bi the cumpas of the tabernacle and of the auter, and settyde a tente in the entryng therof. Aftir that alle thingis weren perfitli maad,

34 And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

a cloude hilide the tabernacle of witnessyng, and the glorie of the Lord fillide it;

35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation; because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

nether Moyses myyte entre in to the tabernacle of the boond of pees, while the cloude hilide alle thingis, and the maieste of the Lord schynede, for the cloude hilide alle thingis.

36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings.

If ony tyme the cloude lefte the tabernacle, the sones of Israel yeden forth bi her cumpanyes;

37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that is was taken up.

if the cloude hangide aboue, thei dwelliden in the same place;

38 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.

for the cloude of the Lord restide on the tabernacle bi dai, and fier in the nyyt, in the siyt of the puplis of Israel, bi alle her dwellyngis.
