1 And he spoke Yahweh 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.

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

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.

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.

6 And you will put [the] altar of the burnt offering before [the] entrance of [the] tabernacle 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

30 And he put the laver between [the] tent of meeting and between the altar and he put there water for washing.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

36 And when was taken up the cloud from over the tabernacle they set out [the] people of Israel in all journeyings their.

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

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.
