< Exodus 40 >

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
2 "On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
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:
3 You shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall veil the ark with the curtain.
And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the vaile.
4 You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the menorah, and light its lamps.
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,
5 You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
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.
6 You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
7 You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it.
And thou shalt set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.
8 You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
Then thou shalt appoynt the courte round about, and hang vp the hanging at the courte gate.
9 You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture: and it will be holy.
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.
10 You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar will be most holy.
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.
11 You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
Also thou shalt anoynt the Lauer, and his foote, and shalt sanctifie it.
12 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.
13 You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the office of cohen.
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.
14 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.
Thou shalt also bring his sonnes, and clothe them with garments,
15 You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the office of cohen. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting office of cohen throughout their generations."
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.
16 Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.
So Moses did according to all that ye Lord had commanded him: so did he.
17 It happened in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
Thus was the Tabernacle reared vp the first day of the first moneth in the seconde yeere.
18 And Moses erected the tabernacle, and put its sockets in place, and set up its hooks and its boards, and put in its bars, and he erected its pillars.
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.
19 He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
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.
20 He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
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.
21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the curtain as the screen, and concealed the ark of the testimony, as the LORD commanded Moses.
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.
22 He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside of the veil.
Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the Northside of the Tabernacle, without the vaile,
23 He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And set the bread in order before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 He put the menorah in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Also he put the Candlesticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, ouer against the Table toward ye Southside of the Tabernacle.
25 He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And he lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;
Moreouer he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the vayle,
27 and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And burnt sweete incense thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
Also he hanged vp the vayle at the doore of the Tabernacle.
29 He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
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.
30 He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it, with which to wash.
Likewise he set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and powred water therein to wash with.
31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
So Moses and Aaron, and his sonnes washed their handes and their feete thereat.
32 When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.
When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approched to the Altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33 He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
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.
34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.
35 Moses wasn't able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD's glory filled the tabernacle.
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 When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes.
37 but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they did not travel until the day that it was taken up.
But if the cloude ascended not, then they iourneyed not till the day that it ascended.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
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.
