| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 On the first day of the
first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt
screen the ark with the veil. 4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set
in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the
candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. 5 And thou shalt set the golden
altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the
door to the tabernacle. 6 And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering
before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 7 And thou shalt
set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water
therein. 8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the
screen of the gate of the court. 9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil,
and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and
all the furniture thereof: and it shall be holy. 10 And thou shalt anoint
the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and
the altar shall be most holy. 11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its
base, and sanctify it. 12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the
door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water. 13 And thou
shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and
sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office. 14 And
thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them; 15 and thou shalt
anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto
me in the priest's office: and their anointing shall be to them for an
everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. 16 Thus did Moses:
according to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.
17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first
day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up. 18 And Moses reared
up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and
put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars. 19 And he spread the
tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as
Jehovah commanded Moses. 20 And he took and put the testimony into the
ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the
ark: 21 and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of
the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah commanded
Moses. 22 And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of
the tabernacle northward, without the veil. 23 And he set the bread in
order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses. 24 And he put
the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side
of the tabernacle southward. 25 And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah;
as Jehovah commanded Moses. 26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of
meeting before the veil: 27 and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices;
as Jehovah commanded Moses. 28 And he put the screen of the door to the
tabernacle. 29 And he set the altar of burnt-offering at the door of the
tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and
the meal-offering; as Jehovah commanded Moses. 30 And he set the laver
between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith
to wash. 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their
feet thereat; 32 when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they
came near unto the altar, they washed; as Jehovah commanded Moses. 33 And
he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up
the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah
filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of
meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the
tabernacle. 36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle,
the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys: 37 but
if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it
was taken up. 38 For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the tabernacle by day,
and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,
throughout all their journeys.
