Setting Up the Tabernacle
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.
