1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 'On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,

On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

3 and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,

And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and separate the ark with the vail.

4 and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.

And thou shalt bring in the table, and arrange the order of the showbread upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

5 'And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

9 and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;

And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein; and thou shalt hallow it, with all its vessels, and it shall be holy.

11 and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

And thou shalt anoint the laver with its foot, and sanctify it.

12 'And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

13 and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may be a priest unto me.

14 'And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,

15 and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'

And thou shalt anoint them, as thou hast anointed their father, that they may be priests unto me; and this shall be, that their anointing shall be unto them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

16 And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.

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

17 And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;

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.

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.

30 And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,

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

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

32 in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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.

33 And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.

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.

34 And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;

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

35 and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.

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.

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

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

37 and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:

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

38 for the cloud of Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

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.
