1
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses , saying,
2
`On the first day of the month , in the first month , thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
3
and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,
4
and hast brought in the table , and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick , and caused its lamps to go up .
5
`And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
6
and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
7
and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar , and hast put water there.
8
`And thou hast set the court round about , and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court ,
9
and hast taken the anointing oil , and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels , and it hath been holy ;
10
and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels , and sanctified the altar , and the altar hath been most holy ;
11
and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
12
`And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water ;
13
and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments , and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.
14
`And his sons thou dost bring near , and hast clothed them with coats ,
15
and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father , and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations .'
16
And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
17
And it cometh to pass, in the first month , in the second year, in the first of the month , the tabernacle hath been raised up;
18
and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards , and placeth its bars , and raiseth its pillars ,
19
and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle , and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses .
20
And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark , and setteth the staves on the ark , and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;
21
and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses .
22
And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward , at the outside of the vail,
23
and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread , before Jehovah , as Jehovah hath commanded Moses .
24
And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table , on the side of the tabernacle southward ,
25
and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah , as Jehovah hath commanded Moses .
26
And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,
27
and maketh perfume on it -- spice-perfume -- as Jehovah hath commanded Moses .
28
And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
29
and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present , as Jehovah hath commanded Moses .
30
And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar , and putteth water there for washing ,
31
and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
32
in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar , they wash , as Jehovah hath commanded Moses .
33
And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar , and placeth the covering of the gate of the court ; and Moses completeth the work .
34
And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle ;
35
and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle .
36
And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys ;
37
and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:
38
for the cloud of Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night , before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
