[1]And ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ spoke 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 bread that is 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 tunics 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 the anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.' [16]Thus did Moses; according to all that ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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 ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ commanded Moses. [20]And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the ark-cover 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 ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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 a row of bread in order upon it before ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; as ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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 ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎; as ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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 ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ commanded Moses. [28]And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle. [29]And the altar of burnt-offering he set at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ commanded Moses. [30]And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith to wash; [31]That Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet thereat; [32]When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they should wash; as ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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 ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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 ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ filled the tabernacle.— [36]And whenever 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 ‏𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇‎ 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.
