1 The LORD said to Moses,
|
1 Then the LORD said to Moses:
|
|
2 "On the first day of the first month you shall erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
|
2 "Set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the first month.
|
|
3 And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
|
3 Place the ark of the Testimony in it and shield the ark with the curtain.
|
|
4 And you shall bring in the table, and set its arrangements in order; and you shall bring in the lampstand, and set up its lamps.
|
4 Bring in the table and set out what belongs on it. Then bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.
|
|
5 And you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.
|
5 Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
|
|
6 You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
|
6 "Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting;
|
|
7 and place the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
|
7 place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it.
|
|
8 And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.
|
8 Set up the courtyard around it and put the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard.
|
|
9 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture; and it shall become holy.
|
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 You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar; and the altar shall be most holy.
|
10 Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it will be most holy.
|
|
11 You shall also anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.
|
11 Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.
|
|
12 Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water,
|
12 "Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
|
|
13 and put upon Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.
|
13 Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest.
|
|
14 You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them,
|
14 Bring his sons and dress them in tunics.
|
|
15 and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests: and their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations."
|
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 for all generations to come."
|
|
