[1]And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
[2]The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,
[3]And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:
[4]And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with its lamps,
[5]And the altar of gold whereon the incense is burnt, before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle,
[6]And before it the altar of holocaust:
[7]The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.
[8]And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.
[9]And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:
[10]The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:
[11]The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.
[12]And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,
[13]Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood.
[14]And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
[15]So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
[16]And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
[17]And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
[18]And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
[19]And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord.
[20]And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,
[21]Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
[22]He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony over against the table on the south side,
[23]Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
[24]He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony over against the veil,
[25]And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
[26]And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,
[27]And the altar of holocaust of the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.
[28]And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
[29]And Moses and Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet,
[30]When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
[31]He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected,
[32]The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
[33]Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all.
[34]If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:
[35]If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
[36]For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.
