Exodus 40

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.

2 Set up the meeting tent dwelling on the first day of the first month.

12 Then bring Aaron and his sons to the meeting tent's entrance and wash them with water.

13 Dress Aaron in the holy clothes. Anoint him and make him holy so that he may serve me as priest.

14 Then bring his sons and dress them in tunics.

15 Anoint them like you anointed their father so that they may serve me as priests. Their anointing is to the priesthood for all time in every generation.

16 Moses did everything exactly as the LORD had commanded him.

17 In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the dwelling was set up.

18 Moses set up the dwelling. He laid out its bases. He set up its boards, inserted its bars, and raised up its posts.

19 He spread the tent out over the dwelling, and he put the covering of the tent over it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

20 He took the covenant document and placed it inside the chest. He put the poles on the chest, and he set the cover on top of the chest.

21 He brought the chest into the dwelling. He set up the veil as a screen to hide from view the chest containing the covenant, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

22 He placed the table in the meeting tent, on the north side of the dwelling, outside the veil.

23 He set the bread in its proper place on the table in the LORD's presence, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

24 He put the lampstand in the meeting tent, opposite the table on the south side of the dwelling.

25 He set up the lamps in the LORD's presence, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

26 He put the gold altar in the meeting tent in front of the veil.

27 He burned sweet-smelling incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

28 He also set up the screen at the entrance to the dwelling.

29 He placed the altar for entirely burned offerings at the entrance to the meeting tent dwelling. He offered the entirely burned offering and the grain offering on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30 He put the washbasin between the meeting tent and the altar, and put water in it for washing.

31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons used it to wash their hands and their feet.

32 Whenever they went into the meeting tent and whenever they approached the altar, they washed themselves, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

33 He set up the courtyard around the dwelling and the altar, and he hung up the screen at the courtyard's gate. When Moses had finished all the work,

34 the cloud covered the meeting tent and the LORD's glorious presence filled the dwelling.

35 Moses couldn't enter the meeting tent because the cloud had settled on it, and the LORD's glorious presence filled the dwelling.

36 Whenever the cloud rose from the dwelling, the Israelites would set out on their journeys.

37 But if the cloud didn't rise, then they didn't set out until the day it rose.

38 The LORD's cloud stayed over the dwelling during the day, with lightning in it at night, clearly visible to the whole household of Israel at every stage of their journey.
