Exodus 40

Good News Translation GNT

1 The Lord said to Moses,

2 "On the first day of the first month set up the Tent of the Lord's presence.

3 Place in it the Covenant Box containing the Ten Commandments and put the curtain in front of it.

4 Bring in the table and place the equipment on it. Also bring in the lampstand and set up the lamps on it.

5 Put the gold altar for burning incense in front of the Covenant Box and hang the curtain at the entrance of the Tent.

6 Put in front of the Tent the altar for burning offerings.

7 Put the washbasin between the Tent and the altar and fill it with water.

8 Put up the surrounding enclosure and hang the curtain at its entrance.

9 "Then dedicate the Tent and all its equipment by anointing it with the sacred oil, and it will be holy.

10 Next, dedicate the altar and all its equipment by anointing it, and it will be completely holy.

11 Also dedicate the washbasin and its base in the same way.

12 "Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent, and have them take a ritual bath.

13 Dress Aaron in the priestly garments, anoint him, and in this way consecrate him, so that he can serve me as priest.

14 Bring his sons and put the shirts on them.

15 Then anoint them, just as you anointed their father, so that they can serve me as priests. This anointing will make them priests for all time to come."

16 Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded.

17 So on the first day of the first month of the second year after they left Egypt, the Tent of the Lord's presence was set up.

18 Moses put down its bases, set up its frames, attached its crossbars, and put up its posts.

19 He spread out the covering over the Tent and put the outer covering over it, just as the Lord had commanded.

20 Then he took the two stone tablets and put them in the Covenant Box. He put the poles in the rings of the Box and put the lid on it.

21 Then he put the Box in the Tent and hung up the curtain. In this way he screened off the Covenant Box, just as the Lord had commanded.

22 He put the table in the Tent, on the north side outside the curtain,

23 and placed on it the bread offered to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded.

24 He put the lampstand in the Tent, on the south side, opposite the table,

25 and there in the Lord's presence he lit the lamps, just as the Lord had commanded.

26 He put the gold altar in the Tent, in front of the curtain,

27 and burned the sweet-smelling incense, just as the Lord had commanded.

28 He hung the curtain at the entrance of the Tent,

29 and there in front of the curtain he placed the altar for burning offerings. On it he sacrificed the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the Lord had commanded.

30 He put the washbasin between the Tent and the altar and filled it with water.

31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there

32 whenever they went into the Tent or to the altar, just as the Lord had commanded.

33 Moses set up the enclosure around the Tent and the altar and hung the curtain at the entrance of the enclosure. So he finished all the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the Tent and the dazzling light of the Lord's presence filled it.

35 Because of this, Moses could not go into the Tent.

36 The Israelites moved their camp to another place only when the cloud lifted from the Tent.

37 As long as the cloud stayed there, they did not move their camp.

38 During all their wanderings they could see the cloud of the Lord's presence over the Tent during the day and a fire burning above it during the night.

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.
