Exodus 40

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 "Set up the tent (the tent of meeting) on the first day of the first month of the year.

3 Place the ark containing the words of my promise inside it, and hang the canopy over the ark.

4 Bring in the table, and arrange everything on it. Bring in the lamp stand, and set up the lamps.

5 Put the gold altar for incense in front of the ark. Put up the screen at the entrance to the tent.

6 "Put the altar for burnt offerings in front of the entrance to the tent of meeting.

7 Put the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8 Set up the surrounding courtyard, and put up the screen at the entrance to the courtyard.

9 Take the anointing oil, and anoint the tent and everything in it. In this way you will dedicate it and all its furnishings. Then it will be holy.

10 Anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all the utensils. In this way you will dedicate the altar, and it will be most holy.

11 Anoint the basin and stand, and they will be dedicated.

12 "Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and wash them.

13 Then dress Aaron in the holy clothes, and anoint him. In this way you will dedicate him to serve me as priest.

14 Have his sons come forward, and dress them in their linen robes.

15 Anoint them to serve me as priests, as you anointed their father. Their anointing will begin a permanent priesthood for them for generations to come."

16 Moses did everything as the LORD commanded him.

17 So the tent was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year [after the Israelites had left Egypt].

18 When Moses set up the tent, he put the sockets in place, put up the frames, inserted the crossbars, and set up the posts.

19 He spread the outer tent over the inner tent and put the cover on top. Moses followed the LORD's instructions.

20 He took the words of God's promise and put them in the ark. He put the poles on the ark and placed the throne of mercy on top of the ark.

21 Then he brought the ark into the tent and hung the canopy over it to mark off where the ark was. Moses followed the LORD's instructions.

22 Moses put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tent outside the canopy.

23 He arranged the bread on the table in the LORD's presence, following the LORD's instructions.

24 He placed the lamp stand in the tent of meeting opposite the table, on the south side of the tent.

25 He set up the lamps in the LORD's presence, following the LORD's instructions.

26 Moses put the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the canopy.

27 He burned sweet-smelling incense on it, following the LORD's instructions.

28 Then he put up the screen at the entrance to the tent.

29 He put the altar for burnt offerings at the entrance to the tent (the tent of meeting). He sacrificed burnt offerings and grain offerings on it. Moses followed the LORD's instructions.

30 He put the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons used this water to wash their hands and feet.

32 They would wash whenever they went into the tent of meeting or whenever they approached the altar. Moses followed the LORD's instructions.

33 He set up the courtyard around the tent and the altar and put up the screen at the entrance to the courtyard. Finally, Moses finished the work.

34 Then the [column of] smoke covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tent.

35 Moses couldn't go into the tent of meeting, because the smoke settled on it and the glory of the LORD filled the tent.

36 In all their travels, whenever the [column of] smoke moved from the tent, the Israelites would break camp.

37 But if the column didn't move, they wouldn't break camp.

38 So the LORD's column stayed over the tent during the day, and there was fire in the smoke at night. In this way all the Israelites could see the column throughout their travels.

New International Version NIV

1 Then the LORD said to Moses:

2 “Set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, on the first day of the first month.

3 Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain.

4 Bring in the table and set out what belongs on it. Then bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5 Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the covenant law and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

6 “Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting;

7 place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it.

8 Set up the courtyard around it and put the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard.

9 “Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy.

10 Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it will be most holy.

11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

12 “Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

13 Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest.

14 Bring his sons and dress them in tunics.

15 Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.”

16 Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him.

17 So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year.

18 When Moses set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames, inserted the crossbars and set up the posts.

19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the LORD commanded him.

20 He took the tablets of the covenant law and placed them in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it.

21 Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the LORD commanded him.

22 Moses placed the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain

23 and set out the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him.

24 He placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle

25 and set up the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him.

26 Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain

27 and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD commanded him.

28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

29 He set the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings, as the LORD commanded him.

30 He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing,

31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet.

32 They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses.

33 Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35 Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

36 In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;

37 but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out—until the day it lifted.

38 So the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels.
