¹ And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

² On^◦ the first day of the month, in the first^◦ month, shalt thou raise·​·up the Habitation of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦.

³ And thou shalt set in it the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt shelter the veil over the ark.

⁴ And thou shalt bring·​·in the table, and shalt arrange its arrangement; and thou shalt bring·​·in the lampstand, and shalt cause the flame of its lamps to go·​·up^*.

⁵ And thou shalt put^◦ the altar of gold for incense before the ark of the Testimony, and shalt set the sheltering of the entrance to the Habitation.

⁶ And thou shalt put^◦ the altar of the burnt·​·offering before the entrance of the Habitation of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦.

⁷ And thou shalt put^◦ the laver between the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦ and the altar, and shalt put^◦ waters therein.

⁸ And thou shalt set the court all around, and shalt put^◦ the sheltering at the gate of the court.

⁹ And thou shalt take the oil of anointing, and anoint the Habitation, and all that is in it, and thou shalt sanctify it, and all its vessels; and it shall be holy.

¹⁰ And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt·​·offering, and all its vessels, and shalt sanctify the altar; and the altar shall be a holy of holies.

¹¹ And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and shalt sanctify it.

¹² And thou shalt make Aaron and his sons come·​·near to^▵ the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, and shalt bathe them with waters.

¹³ And thou shall clothe Aaron with the garments of holiness, and thou shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may be·​·a·​·priest to Me.

¹⁴ And thou shalt make his sons to come·​·near, and shalt clothe them with tunics.

¹⁵ And thou shalt anoint them, as^◦ thou didst anoint their father, and they shall be·​·priests to Me; and their anointing shall be for a priesthood of an age, to be to them for their generations.

¹⁶ And Moses did according·​·to all that Jehovah commanded him, so he did.

¹⁷ And it was in the first month, in the second year, on the first^◦ day of the month, that the Habitation was raised·​·up.

¹⁸ And Moses raised·​·up the Habitation, and put^◦ down its bases^◦, and set up its planks, and put^◦ in its bars, and raised·​·up its pillars.

¹⁹ And he spread the Tabernacle over the Habitation, and put the covering of the Tabernacle upon it above, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁰ And he took and put the Testimony into the ark, and placed the poles upon the ark, and put the place of atonement upon the ark above.

²¹ And he brought the ark into the Habitation, and set the veil of the sheltering, and sheltered over the ark of the Testimony; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

²² And he put the table in the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, upon the thigh of the Habitation northward, outside the veil.

²³ And he arranged on it the arrangement of the bread before Jehovah; as^◦ Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁴ And he set the lampstand in the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, opposite the table, on the thigh of the Habitation toward the south.

²⁵ And he caused the flame of the lamps to go·​·up^* before Jehovah; as^◦ Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁶ And he put the altar of gold in the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦ before the veil;

²⁷ and he burnt·​·for·​·incense thereon fragrant incense, as^◦ Jehovah commanded Moses.

²⁸ And he set the sheltering of the entrance to the Habitation.

²⁹ And he set the altar of the burnt·​·offering at the entrance of the Habitation of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, and he brought·​·up on it the burnt·​·offering and the gift·​·offering; as^◦ Jehovah commanded Moses.

³⁰ And he set the laver between the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦ and the altar, and put^◦ waters therein, to bathe.

³¹ And Moses and Aaron and his sons bathed out of it their hands and their feet.

³² When they came into the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, and when they came·​·near to the altar, they bathed; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

³³ And he raised·​·up the court all around the Habitation, and the altar, and put^◦ up the sheltering of the gate of the court. And Moses completed the work^▵*,

³⁴ And the cloud covered the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, and the glory of Jehovah filled the Habitation.

³⁵ And Moses was· not ·able to come into^◦ the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, for the cloud abode^◦ on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the Habitation^*.

³⁶ And when the cloud went·​·up from over the Habitation, the sons of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.

³⁷ And if the cloud went· not ·up, then they journeyed not until the day that it went·​·up.

³⁸ For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the Habitation by·​·day, and there was fire in it by night, to the eyes of all the house of Israel, in all their journeys.

¹ And this is the word that thou shalt do to them, to sanctify them, to be·​·priests to Me. Take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two perfect rams;

² and bread of what is unleavened, and cakes of what is unleavened mixed with oil, and wafers of what is unleavened anointed with oil; of the flour of wheat shalt thou make them.

³ And thou shalt put^◦ them on one basket, and offer them in the basket, and the bullock and the two rams.

⁴ And Aaron and his sons thou shalt cause to come·​·near to^▵ the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, and thou shalt bathe them with waters.

⁵ And thou shalt take the garments, and shalt clothe Aaron with the tunic, and the mantle of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the girding^▵ of the ephod.

⁶ And thou shalt set the miter on his head, and put^◦ the crown^◦ of holiness on the miter.

⁷ And thou shalt take the oil of anointing, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.

⁸ And thou shalt cause his sons to come·​·near, and clothe them with tunics.

⁹ And thou shalt gird them with a belt, Aaron and his sons, and shalt bind the caps upon them, and the priesthood shall be to them for a statute of an age; and thou shalt fill the hand of Aaron and the hand of his sons.

¹⁰ And thou shalt offer the bullock before the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦; and Aaron and his sons shall lay^◦ their hands upon the head of the bullock.

¹¹ And thou shalt slaughter the bullock before Jehovah, at the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦.

¹² And thou shalt take from the blood of the bullock, and shalt put^◦ it on the horns of the altar with thy finger; and all the blood thou shalt spill at the foundation of the altar.

¹³ And thou shalt take all the fat that covers the inwards, and the caul on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and shalt burn· them ·for·​·incense on the altar.

¹⁴ And the flesh of the bullock, and its skin, and its dung, shalt thou burn·​·up with fire outside the camp; this^◦ is a sin offering.

¹⁵ And thou shalt take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay^◦ their hands on the head of the ram.

¹⁶ And thou shalt slaughter the ram, and thou shalt take its blood, and sprinkle it on the altar all around.

¹⁷ And thou shalt section the ram into its sections, and shalt bathe its intestines, and its legs, and put^◦ them upon its sections, and upon its head.

¹⁸ And thou shalt burn·​·incense with^◦ all the ram upon the altar; this is a burnt·​·offering to Jehovah, a restful smell, it is a fire·​·offering to Jehovah.

¹⁹ And thou shalt take the second ram; and Aaron and his sons shall lay^◦ their hands on the head of the ram.

²⁰ And thou shalt slaughter the ram, and shalt take from its blood, and shalt put^◦ it upon the lobe of the ear of Aaron, and upon the lobe of the right ear of his sons, and on the thumb of their right hand, and on the big·​·toe of their right foot, and thou shalt sprinkle the blood on the altar all around.

²¹ And thou shalt take of the blood that is on the altar, and of the oil of anointing, and shalt spatter it upon Aaron, and on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him; and he shall be·​·holy, and his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.

²² And thou shalt take from the ram the fat, and the tail^◦, and the fat covering the inwards, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right hind·​·quarter, for it is a ram of infillings;

²³ and one loaf of bread, and one cake of bread with oil, and one wafer, from the basket of unleavened things that is before Jehovah

²⁴ and thou shalt set all of it on the palms of Aaron, and upon the palms of his sons; and shalt wave them a wave offering before Jehovah.

²⁵ And thou shalt take them from their hand, and shalt burn· them ·for·​·incense on the altar on the burnt·​·offering, for a restful smell before Jehovah; a fire·​·offering is this^◦ to Jehovah.

²⁶ And thou shalt take the chest portion from the ram of infillings, which is for Aaron, and shalt wave it a wave·​·offering before Jehovah; and it shall be for thee for a portion.

²⁷ And thou shalt sanctify the chest portion of the waving, and the hind·​·quarter of the uplifting^◦, which is waved, and which is uplifted^◦, from the ram of infillings, from that which is for Aaron, and from that which is for his sons;

²⁸ and it shall be to Aaron and his sons for a statute of an age from among the sons of Israel; for it is an uplifting^◦; and it shall be an uplifting^◦ from among the sons of Israel of their peace sacrifices, their uplifting^◦ to Jehovah.

²⁹ And the garments of holiness which are for Aaron shall be for his sons after him, for anointing in them, and for filling their hand in them.

³⁰ The one from among his sons who becomes the priest instead of him shall clothe himself with them seven days; then he shall come into^▵ the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦ to minister in the holy place.

³¹ And thou shalt take the ram of infillings, and cook its flesh in a holy place.

³² And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, at the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦.

³³ And they shall eat those things with which atonement· was ·made, to·​·fill their hand, to sanctify them; and a stranger shall not eat of them, for they are holy.

³⁴ And if anything from the flesh of infillings and from the bread remain until the morning, then thou shalt burn·​·up the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, for it is holy.

³⁵ And thus shalt thou do to Aaron and to his sons, according·​·to all that I have commanded thee; seven days shalt thou fill their hand.

³⁶ And a bullock of a sin offering thou shalt make for the day on the atonements; and thou shalt purge· it ·from·​·sin on the altar when thou makest·​·atonement on it; and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.

³⁷ Seven days thou shalt make·​·atonement on the altar, and shalt sanctify it, and the altar shall be a holy of holies; all who touch the altar shall be sanctified.

³⁸ And this is what thou shalt make upon the altar: two lambs, sons of a year, for the day, continually.

³⁹ The one lamb thou shalt make in the morning; and the second lamb thou shalt make between the two·​·evenings^*;

⁴⁰ and a tenth of flour mixed with beaten oil, a fourth of the hin, and a poured·​·offering of a fourth of the hin of wine for the one lamb.

⁴¹ And the second lamb thou shalt make between the two·​·evenings; as the gift·​·offering of the morning, and as its poured·​·offering, thou shalt do for it, for a restful smell, a fire·​·offering to Jehovah;

⁴² a continual burnt·​·offering for your generations at the entrance of the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦ before Jehovah; where I will meet·​·together with you, to speak to thee there.

⁴³ And there I will meet·​·together with the sons of Israel, and it shall be sanctified in My glory.

⁴⁴ And I will sanctify the Tabernacle of the congregation^◦, and the altar; and Aaron and his sons I will sanctify to be·​·priests for Me.

⁴⁵ And I will abide^◦ in the midst of the sons of Israel, and will be to them for God.

⁴⁶ And they shall know that I^◦ am Jehovah their God, who brought· them ·out of the land of Egypt, that I may reside in the midst of them; I^◦ am Jehovah their God.
