1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 On [the] day of the month first on [day] one of the month you will set up [the] tabernacle of [the] tent of meeting.

“On the first day of the month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

3 And you will put there [the] ark of the testimony and you will cover over the ark the curtain.

and have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over the Ark with the veil,

4 And you will bring the table and you will arrange arrangement its and you will bring the lampstand and you will lift up lamps its.

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 you will put [the] altar of gold for incense before [the] ark of the testimony and you will put [the] screen of the entrance 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 And you will put [the] altar of the burnt offering before [the] entrance of [the] tabernacle of [the] tent of meeting.

and have put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

7 And you will put the laver between [the] tent of meeting and between the altar and you will put there water.

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

8 And you will put the courtyard all around and you will put [the] screen of [the] gate of the courtyard.

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

9 And you will take [the] oil of anointing and you will anoint the tabernacle and all that [is] in it and you will consecrate it and all articles its and it will be a holy thing.

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 you will anoint [the] altar of the burnt offering and all articles its and you will consecrate the altar and it will be the altar holiness of holiness.

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 And you will anoint the laver and base its and you will consecrate it.

and you have anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

12 And you will bring near Aaron and sons his to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting and you will 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 you will clothe Aaron [the] garments of holiness and you will anoint him and you will consecrate him and he will serve as a priest me.

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

14 And sons his you will bring near and you will clothe them tunics.

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

15 And you will anoint them just as you anointed father their and they will serve as priests me and it will become to be for them anointing their a priesthood of perpetuity to generations their.

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

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

17 And it was in the month first in the year second on [day] one of the month it was set up the tabernacle.

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 And he set up Moses the tabernacle and he put bases its and he set up frames its and he put bars its and he set up pillars its.

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 spread out the tent over the tabernacle and he put [the] covering of the tent over it from to above just as he had commanded Yahweh 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 took and he put the testimony into the ark and he put the poles on the ark and he put the atonement cover on the ark from to above.

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 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and he set up [the] curtain of the screen and he covered over [the] ark of the testimony just as he had commanded Yahweh 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 And he put the table in [the] tent of meeting on [the] side of the tabernacle north-ward from [the] outside of the curtain.

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 he arranged on it an arrangement of bread before Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

24 And he put the lampstand in [the] tent of meeting opposite to the table on [the] side of the tabernacle south-ward.

And he puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward,

25 And he lifted up the lamps before Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

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

26 And he put [the] altar of gold in [the] tent of meeting before the curtain.

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

27 And he made smoke on it incense of perfume just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

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

28 And he set up [the] screen of the entrance of the tabernacle.

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

29 And [the] altar of the burnt offering he set up [the] entrance of [the] tabernacle of [the] tent of meeting and he offered up on it the burnt offering and the grain offering just as he had commanded Yahweh 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 And he put the laver between [the] tent of meeting and between the altar and he put there water for washing.

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

31 And they washed from it Moses and Aaron and sons his hands their and feet their.

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

32 When went they into [the] tent of meeting and when drew near they to the altar they washed just as he had commanded Yahweh 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 And he set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar and he put [the] screen of [the] gate of the courtyard and he finished Moses the work.

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 And it covered the cloud [the] tent of meeting and [the] glory of Yahweh it filled the tabernacle.

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

35 And not he was able Moses to go into [the] tent of meeting for it had settled down over it the cloud and [the] glory of Yahweh it had 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 And when was taken up the cloud from over the tabernacle they set out [the] people of Israel in all journeyings their.

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

37 And if not it was taken up the cloud and not they set out until [the] day was taken up it.

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

38 For [the] cloud of Yahweh [was] over the tabernacle by day and fire it was night on it to [the] eyes of all [the] house of Israel in all journeyings their.

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.
