Exodus 40:1-11

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.
