¹ Reče Jahve Mojsiju:

² "Na prvi dan prvoga mjeseca podigni Prebivalište, Šator sastanka.

³ Ondje postavi Kovčeg svjedočanstva, onda Kovčeg zakloni zavjesom.

⁴ Potom unesi stol i što na nj spada poredaj; unesi i svijećnjak i svijeće mu pripremi.

⁵ A zlatni žrtvenik za kađenje postavi pred Kovčeg svjedočanstva. Onda objesi zastor nad ulazom u Prebivalište.

⁶ Stavi žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice pred ulaz Prebivališta, Šatora sastanka.

⁷ Između Šatora sastanka i žrtvenika smjesti umivaonik i u nj nalij vode.

⁸ Naokolo napravi dvorište i objesi zastor nad dvorišnim ulazom.

⁹ Zatim uzmi ulja za pomazanje pa pomaži Prebivalište i sve što je u njemu; posveti ga i sav njegov pribor, pa će svetim postati.

¹⁰ Pomaži potom žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice i sav njegov pribor; posveti žrtvenik i presvetim će žrtvenik postati.

¹¹ Pomaži umivaonik s njegovim stalkom: posveti ga!

¹² Dovedi zatim Arona i njegove sinove na ulaz Šatora sastanka pa ih operi vodom.

¹³ Stavi onda na Arona posvećenu odjeću; pomaži ga i posveti da mi služi kao svećenik.

¹⁴ Dovedi i njegove sinove, na njih stavi košulje

¹⁵ i pomaži ih, kako si pomazao i njihova oca, da mi služe kao svećenici. Njihovo pomazanje neka ih uvede u vječno svećenstvo u sve njihove naraštaje."

¹⁶ Tako Mojsije učini. Kako mu je Jahve naredio, sve je tako i učinio.

¹⁷ Prvoga dana prvoga mjeseca druge godine Prebivalište bi podignuto.

¹⁸ Ovako Mojsije namjesti Prebivalište: razmjesti njegova podnožja, onda uspravi njegove trenice, zatim postavi priječnice i podiže stupove.

¹⁹ Zatim raspne Šator nad Prebivalište, a povrh njega stavi pokrov Šatora, kako je Jahve Mojsiju naredio.

²⁰ Uze onda Svjedočanstvo i stavi ga u Kovčeg; na Kovčeg postavi motke; onda stavi Pomirilište ozgo na Kovčeg.

²¹ Potom unese Kovčeg u Prebivalište; objesi zavjesu za zaklon. Tako zastre Kovčeg svjedočanstva, kako je Jahve i naredio Mojsiju.

²² Zatim postavi stol u Šator sastanka, Prebivalištu sa sjeverne strane, ali izvan zavjese.

²³ Po njemu poreda kruhove pred Jahvom, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

²⁴ Onda smjesti svijećnjak u Šator sastanka naprama stolu, na južnoj strani Prebivališta.

²⁵ I postavi svjetiljke pred Jahvom, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

²⁶ Zlatni žrtvenik smjesti u Šator sastanka, pred zavjesu.

²⁷ Na njemu zapali miomirisnog tamjana, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

²⁸ Poslije toga stavi zavjesu na ulaz u Prebivalište.

²⁹ Kod ulaza u Prebivalište, u Šator sastanka, postavi žrtvenik za žrtve paljenice. Na njemu prinese žrtvu paljenicu i žrtvu od žita, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

³⁰ Između Šatora sastanka i žrtvenika smjesti umivaonik pa u nj ulije vode za pranje.

³¹ Iz njega su Mojsije, Aron i njegovi sinovi prali svoje ruke i svoje noge.

³² A prali su se kad su ulazili u Šator sastanka i kad su pristupali k žrtveniku, kako je Jahve naredio Mojsiju.

³³ Napokon Mojsije napravi dvorište oko Prebivališta i žrtvenika i postavi zavjesu na dvorišnim vratima. Tako Mojsije završi taj posao.

³⁴ A onda oblak prekri Šator sastanka i slava Jahvina ispuni Prebivalište.

³⁵ Mojsije nije mogao ući u Šator sastanka zbog oblaka koji je na njemu stajao i slave Jahvine koja je ispunjala Prebivalište.

³⁶ Sve vrijeme njihova putovanja, kad god bi se oblak digao s Prebivališta, Izraelci bi krenuli;

³⁷ ali ako se oblak ne bi digao, ni oni ne bi na put polazili sve do dana dok se ne bi digao.

³⁸ Jer sve vrijeme njihova putovanja oblak Jahvin danju stajaše nad Prebivalištem, a noću bi se u oblaku pojavila vatra vidljiva svemu domu Izraelovu.

⁵ "Potom uzmi najboljeg brašna i od njega ispeci dvanaest pogača. Neka u svakoj pogači budu dvije desetine efe.

¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

² On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

³ And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

⁴ 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.

⁵ 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.

⁶ And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

⁷ And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

⁸ And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

⁹ 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.

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

¹² And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

¹⁵ 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.

¹⁶ Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

¹⁷ 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.

¹⁸ 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.

¹⁹ And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

²⁰ 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:

²¹ 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.

²² And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

²³ And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

²⁴ And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

²⁵ And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

²⁶ And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

²⁷ And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.

²⁸ And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

²⁹ 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.

³⁰ And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

³¹ And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

³² When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

³³ 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.

³⁴ Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

³⁵ 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.

³⁶ And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

³⁷ But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

³⁸ 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.
