And the LORD spake
unto Moses
, saying
,
On the first day
of the first
month
shalt thou set up
the tabernacle
of the tent
of the congregation
.
And thou shalt put therein
the ark
of the testimony
, and cover
the ark
with the vail
.
And thou shalt bring in the table
, and set in order
the things that are to be set in order
upon it; and thou shalt bring
in the candlestick
, and light
the lamps
thereof.
And thou shalt set the altar
of gold
for the incense
before
the ark
of the testimony
, and put
the hanging
of the door
to the tabernacle
.
And thou shalt set the altar
of the burnt offering
before
the door
of the tabernacle
of the tent
of the congregation
.
And thou shalt set the laver
between the tent
of the congregation
and the altar
, and shalt put
water
therein.
And thou shalt set up the court
round about
, and hang up
the hanging
at the court
gate
.
And thou shalt take the anointing
oil
, and anoint
the tabernacle
, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow
it, and all the vessels
thereof: and it shall be holy
.
And thou shalt anoint the altar
of the burnt offering
, and all his vessels
, and sanctify
the altar
: and it shall be an altar
most
holy
.
And thou shalt anoint the laver
and his foot
, and sanctify
it.
And thou shalt bring Aaron
and his sons
unto the door
of the tabernacle
of the congregation
, and wash
them with water
.
And thou shalt put upon Aaron
the holy
garments
, and anoint
him, and sanctify
him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office
.
And thou shalt bring his sons
, and clothe
them with coats
:
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint
their father
, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office
: for their anointing
shall surely be an everlasting
priesthood
throughout their generations
.
Thus did Moses
: according to all that the LORD
commanded
him, so did
he.
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
.
And Moses reared up
the tabernacle
, and fastened
his sockets
, and set up
the boards
thereof, and put
in the bars
thereof, and reared up
his pillars
.
And he spread abroad the tent
over the tabernacle
, and put
the covering
of the tent
above
upon it; as the LORD
commanded
Moses
.
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
:
And he brought the ark
into the tabernacle
, and set up
the vail
of the covering
, and covered
the ark
of the testimony
; as the LORD
commanded
Moses
.
And he put the table
in the tent
of the congregation
, upon the side
of the tabernacle
northward
, without
the vail
.
And he set the bread
in order
upon it before
the LORD
; as the LORD
had commanded
Moses
.
And he put the candlestick
in the tent
of the congregation
, over against
the table
, on the side
of the tabernacle
southward
.
And he lighted the lamps
before
the LORD
; as the LORD
commanded
Moses
.
And he put the golden
altar
in the tent
of the congregation
before
the vail
:
And he burnt sweet
incense
thereon; as the LORD
commanded
Moses
.
And he set up the hanging
at the door
of the tabernacle
.
And he put the altar
of burnt offering
by the door
of the tabernacle
of the tent
of the congregation
, and offered
upon it the burnt offering
and the meat offering
; as the LORD
commanded
Moses
.
And he set the laver
between the tent
of the congregation
and the altar
, and put
water
there, to wash
withal .
And Moses and Aaron
and his sons
washed
their hands
and their feet
thereat:
When they went into the tent
of the congregation
, and when they came near
unto the altar
, they washed
; as the LORD
commanded
Moses
.
And he reared up the court
round about
the tabernacle
and the altar
, and set up
the hanging
of the court
gate
. So Moses
finished
the work
.
Then a cloud covered
the tent
of the congregation
, and the glory
of the LORD
filled
the tabernacle
.
And Moses was not able
to enter
into the tent
of the congregation
, because the cloud
abode
thereon, and the glory
of the LORD
filled
the tabernacle
.
And when the cloud was taken up
from
over the tabernacle
, the children
of Israel
went onward
in all their journeys
:
But if the cloud were not taken up
, then they journeyed
not till the day
that it was taken up
.
For the cloud of the LORD
was upon the tabernacle
by day
, and fire
was on it by night
, in the sight
of all the house
of Israel
, throughout all their journeys
.
