Exodus 40:8-18

8 You shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen at the court gate.

9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.

10 You shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar. The altar shall be most holy.

11 And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.

12 Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water.

13 You shall put the holy garments on Aaron, and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.

14 And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

15 You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me as priests; for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."

16 Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

17 And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.

18 So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
