Exo
40
   
[1]And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, [2]On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of witness, [3]and thou shalt place in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil, [4]and thou shalt bring in the table and shalt set forth that which is to be set forth on it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it. [5]And thou shalt place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and thou shalt put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness. [6]And thou shalt put the altar of burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt set up the tabernacle round about, and thou shalt hallow all that belongs to it round about. [7][No verse] [8][No verse] [9]And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and shalt anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shalt sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy. [10]And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offerings, and all its furniture; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy. [11][No verse] [12]And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt wash them with water. [13]And thou shalt put on Aaron the holy garments, and thou shalt anoint him, and thou shalt sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest. [14]And thou shalt bring up his sons, and shalt put garments on them. [15]And thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations. [16]And Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he. [17]And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up. [18]And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts. [19]And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses. [20]And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark. [21]And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on it the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses. [22]And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle. [23]And he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses. [24]And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. [25]And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. [26]And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil; [27]and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses. [28][No verse] [29]And he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle. [30][No verse] [31]And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works. [32][No verse] [33][No verse] [34]And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord. [35]And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord. [36]And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage. [37]And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up. [38]For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
