1
And the Lord said to Moses,
2
On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.
3
And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.
4
And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.
5
And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.
6
And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.
7
And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.
8
And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.
9
And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:
10
And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.
11
And put oil on the washing-vessel and its base, and make them holy.
12
Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,
13
You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.
14
And take his sons with him and put coats on them;
15
And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.
