Exodus 40

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses:

2 "On the first day of the first month, set up The Dwelling, the Tent of Meeting.

3 Place the Chest of The Testimony in it and screen the Chest with the curtain.

4 "Bring in the Table and set it, arranging its Lampstand and lamps.

5 "Place the Gold Altar of Incense before the Chest of The Testimony and hang the curtain at the door of The Dwelling.

6 "Place the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering at the door of The Dwelling, the Tent of Meeting.

7 "Place the Washbasin between the Tent of Meeting and the Altar and fill it with water.

8 "Set up the Courtyard on all sides and hang the curtain at the entrance to the Courtyard.

9 "Then take the anointing oil and anoint The Dwelling and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings so that it becomes holy.

10 Anoint the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering and all its utensils, consecrating the Altar so that it is completely holy.

11 Anoint the Washbasin and its base: consecrate it.

12 "Finally, bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

13 Dress Aaron in the sacred vestments. Anoint him. Consecrate him to serve me as priest.

14 Bring his sons and put tunics on them.

15 Anoint them, just as you anointed their father, to serve me as priests. Their anointing will bring them into a perpetual priesthood, down through the generations."

16 Moses did everything God commanded. He did it all.

17 On the first day of the first month of the second year, The Dwelling was set up.

18 Moses set it up: He laid its bases, erected the frames, placed the crossbars, set the posts,

19 spread the tent over The Dwelling, and put the covering over the tent, just as God had commanded Moses.

20 He placed The Testimony in the Chest, inserted the poles for carrying the Chest, and placed the lid, the Atonement-Cover, on it.

21 He brought the Chest into The Dwelling and set up the curtain, screening off the Chest of The Testimony, just as God had commanded Moses.

22 He placed the Table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of The Dwelling, outside the curtain,

23 and arranged the Bread there before God, just as God had commanded him.

24 He placed the Lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the Table on the south side of The Dwelling

25 and set up the lamps before God, just as God had 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, just as God had commanded him.

28 He placed the screen at the entrance to The Dwelling.

29 He set the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering at the door of The Dwelling, the Tent of Meeting, and offered up the Whole-Burnt-Offerings and the Grain-Offerings, just as God had commanded Moses.

30 He placed the Washbasin between the Tent of Meeting and the Altar, and filled it with water for washing.

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

32 When they entered the Tent of Meeting and when they served at the Altar, they washed, just as God had commanded Moses.

33 Finally, he erected the Courtyard all around The Dwelling and the Altar, and put up the screen for the Courtyard entrance. Moses finished the work.

34 The Cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the Glory of God filled The Dwelling.

35 Moses couldn't enter the Tent of Meeting because the Cloud was upon it, and the Glory of God filled The Dwelling.

36 Whenever the Cloud lifted from The Dwelling, the People of Israel set out on their travels,

37 but if the Cloud did not lift, they wouldn't set out until it did lift.

38 The Cloud of God was over The Dwelling during the day and the fire was in it at night, visible to all the Israelites in all their travels.

New Living Translation NLT

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Set up the Tabernacle on the first day of the new year.

3 Place the Ark of the Covenant inside, and install the inner curtain to enclose the Ark within the Most Holy Place.

4 Then bring in the table, and arrange the utensils on it. And bring in the lampstand, and set up the lamps.

5 “Place the gold incense altar in front of the Ark of the Covenant. Then hang the curtain at the entrance of the Tabernacle.

6 Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the Tabernacle entrance.

7 Set the washbasin between the Tabernacle and the altar, and fill it with water.

8 Then set up the courtyard around the outside of the tent, and hang the curtain for the courtyard entrance.

9 “Take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle and all its furnishings to consecrate them and make them holy.

10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to consecrate them. Then the altar will become absolutely holy.

11 Next anoint the washbasin and its stand to consecrate them.

12 “Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and wash them with water.

13 Dress Aaron with the sacred garments and anoint him, consecrating him to serve me as a priest.

14 Then present his sons and dress them in their tunics.

15 Anoint them as you did their father, so they may also serve me as priests. With their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”

16 Moses proceeded to do everything just as the LORD had commanded him.

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

18 Moses erected the Tabernacle by setting down its bases, inserting the frames, attaching the crossbars, and setting up the posts.

19 Then he spread the coverings over the Tabernacle framework and put on the protective layers, just as the LORD had commanded him.

20 He took the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant and placed them inside the Ark. Then he attached the carrying poles to the Ark, and he set the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—on top of it.

21 Then he brought the Ark of the Covenant into the Tabernacle and hung the inner curtain to shield it from view, just as the LORD had commanded him.

22 Next Moses placed the table in the Tabernacle, along the north side of the Holy Place, just outside the inner curtain.

23 And he arranged the Bread of the Presence on the table before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

24 He set the lampstand in the Tabernacle across from the table on the south side of the Holy Place.

25 Then he lit the lamps in the LORD ’s presence, just as the LORD had commanded him.

26 He also placed the gold incense altar in the Tabernacle, in the Holy Place in front of the inner curtain.

27 On it he burned the fragrant incense, just as the LORD had commanded him.

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

29 and he placed the altar of burnt offering near the Tabernacle entrance. On it he offered a burnt offering and a grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.

30 Next Moses placed the washbasin between the Tabernacle and the altar. He filled it with water so the priests could wash themselves.

31 Moses and Aaron and Aaron’s sons used water from it to wash their hands and feet.

32 Whenever they approached the altar and entered the Tabernacle, they washed themselves, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

33 Then he hung the curtains forming the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar. And he set up the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard. So at last Moses finished the work.

34 Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.

35 Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.

36 Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it.

37 But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.

38 The cloud of the LORD hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.
