¹ 耶和華曉諭摩西說：

² 正月初一日，你要立起帳幕，

³ 把法櫃安放在裡面，用幔子將櫃遮掩。

⁴ 把桌子搬進去，擺設上面的物。把燈臺搬進去，點其上的燈。

⁵ 把燒香的金壇安在法櫃前，掛上帳幕的門簾。

⁶ 把燔祭壇安在帳幕門前。

⁷ 把洗濯盆安在會幕和壇的中間，在盆裡盛水。

⁸ 又在四圍立院帷，把院子的門簾掛上。

⁹ 用膏油把帳幕和其中所有的都抹上，使帳幕和一切器具成聖，就都成聖。

¹⁰ 又要抹燔祭壇和一切器具，使壇成聖，就都成為至聖。

¹¹ 要抹洗濯盆和盆座，使盆成聖。

¹² 要使亞倫和他兒子到會幕門口來，用水洗身。

¹³ 要給亞倫穿上聖衣，又膏他，使他成聖，可以給我供祭司的職分；

¹⁴ 又要使他兒子來，給他們穿上內袍。

¹⁵ 怎樣膏他們的父親，也要照樣膏他們，使他們給我供祭司的職分。他們世世代代凡受膏的，就永遠當祭司的職任。

¹⁶ 摩西這樣行，都是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

¹⁷ 第二年正月初一日，帳幕就立起來。

¹⁸ 摩西立起帳幕，安上帶卯的座，立上板，穿上閂，立起柱子。

¹⁹ 在帳幕以上搭罩棚，把罩棚的頂蓋蓋在其上，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²⁰ 又把法版放在櫃裡，把杠穿在櫃的兩旁，把施恩座安在櫃上。

²¹ 把櫃抬進帳幕，掛上遮掩櫃的幔子，把法櫃遮掩了，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²² 又把桌子安在會幕內，在帳幕北邊，在幔子外。

²³ 在桌子上將餅陳設在耶和華面前，是照耶和華所吩咐他的

²⁴ 又把燈臺安在會幕內，在帳幕南邊，與桌子相對，

²⁵ 在耶和華面前點燈，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²⁶ 把金壇安在會幕內的幔子前，

²⁷ 在壇上燒了馨香料做的香，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

²⁸ 又掛上帳幕的門簾。

²⁹ 在會幕的帳幕門前，安設燔祭壇，把燔祭和素祭獻在其上，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

³⁰ 把洗濯盆安在會幕和壇的中間，盆中盛水，以便洗濯。

³¹ 摩西和亞倫並亞倫的兒子在這盆裡洗手洗腳。

³² 他們進會幕或就近壇的時候，便都洗濯，是照耶和華所吩咐他的。

³³ 在帳幕和壇的四圍立了院帷，把院子的門簾掛上。這樣，摩西就完了工。

³⁴ 當時，雲彩遮蓋會幕，耶和華的榮光就充滿了帳幕。

³⁵ 摩西不能進會幕；因為雲彩停在其上，並且耶和華的榮光充滿了帳幕。

³⁶ 每逢雲彩從帳幕收上去，以色列人就起程前往；

³⁷ 雲彩若不收上去，他們就不起程，直等到雲彩收上去。

³⁸ 日間，耶和華的雲彩是在帳幕以上；夜間，雲中有火，在以色列全家的眼前。在他們所行的路上都是這樣。

¹ Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

² For he who speaks in another language speaks not to men, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.

³ But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, exhortation, and consolation.

⁴ He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the assembly.

⁵ Now I desire to have you all speak with other languages, but rather that you would prophesy. For he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the assembly may be built up.

⁶ But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

⁷ Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they didn't give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?

⁸ For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?

⁹ So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.

¹⁰ There are, it may be, so many kinds of sounds in the world, and none of them is without meaning.

¹¹ If then I don't know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.

¹² So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek that you may abound to the building up of the assembly.

¹³ Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.

¹⁴ For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.

¹⁵ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.

¹⁶ Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he doesn't know what you say?

¹⁷ For you most certainly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.

¹⁸ I thank my God, I speak with other languages more than you all.

¹⁹ However in the assembly I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.

²⁰ Brothers, don't be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.

²¹ In the law it is written, "By men of strange languages and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people. Not even thus will they hear me, says the Lord."

²² Therefore other languages are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.

²³ If therefore the whole assembly is assembled together and all speak with other languages, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?

²⁴ But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.

²⁵ And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.

²⁶ What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.

²⁷ If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.

²⁸ But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God.

²⁹ Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.

³⁰ But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.

³¹ For you all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted.

³² The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,

³³ for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints,

³⁴ let your wives keep silent in the assemblies, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the law also says.

³⁵ If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the assembly.

³⁶ What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?

³⁷ If any man thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.

³⁸ But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

³⁹ Therefore, brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and don't forbid speaking with other languages.

⁴⁰ Let all things be done decently and in order.
