1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1
The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,
2
On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:
3
You shall put in it the ark of the covenant, and you shall screen the ark with the curtain.
4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with its lamps,
4
You shall bring in the table, and arrange its setting; and you shall bring in the lampstand, and set up its lamps.
5 And the altar of gold, whereon the incense is burnt before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle,
5
You shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and set up the screen for the entrance of the tabernacle.
6 And before it the altar of holocaust.
6
You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
7 The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.
7
and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
8 And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.
8
You shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.
9 And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:
9
Then you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it shall become holy.
10 The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:
10
You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, so that the altar shall be most holy.
11 The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.
11
You shall also anoint the basin with its stand, and consecrate it.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,
12
Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and shall wash them with water,
13 Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me,
13
and put on Aaron the sacred vestments, and you shall anoint him and consecrate him, so that he may serve me as priest.
14 (40-13)
14
You shall bring his sons also and put tunics on them,
15 (40-13)
15
and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests: and their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout all generations to come.
16 (40-13) and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood.
16
Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
17 (40-14) And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
17
In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
18 (40-15) So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
18
Moses set up the tabernacle; he laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars;
19 (40-16) And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
19
and he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
20 (40-17) And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
20
He took the covenant and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark, and set the mercy seat above the ark;
21 (40-18) And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
21
and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the curtain for screening, and screened the ark of the covenant; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22 (40-19) And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord.
22
He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain,
23 (40-20) And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, without the veil,
23
and set the bread in order on it before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 (40-21) Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24
He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,
25 (40-22) He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the table on the south side,
25
and set up the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 (40-23) Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
26
He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the curtain,
27 (40-24) He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, over against the veil,
27
and offered fragrant incense on it; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 (40-25) And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28
He also put in place the screen for the entrance of the tabernacle.
29 (40-26) And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,
29
He set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 (40-27) And the altar of holocaust in the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.
30
He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,
31 (40-28) And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
31
with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.
32 (40-29) And Moses and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and feet,
32
When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33 (40-30) When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33
He set up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the screen at the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34 (40-31) He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected,
34
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 (40-32) The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
35
Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36 (40-33) Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things, and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all.
36
Whenever the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out on each stage of their journey;
37 (40-34) If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:
37
but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day that it was taken up.
38 (40-35) If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
38
For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel at each stage of their journey.
