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.

¹ Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

² The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

³ The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

⁴ The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

⁵ Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

⁶ The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

⁷ The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

⁸ Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

⁹ He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

¹⁰ The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

¹¹ Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

¹² and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

¹³ Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

¹⁴ Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

¹⁵ Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

¹⁶ the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

¹⁷ the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

¹⁸ the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

¹⁹ The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

²⁰ These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

²¹ To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

²² The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

²³ The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

²⁴ Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

²⁵ To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

²⁶ Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

²⁷ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

²⁸ Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

²⁹ Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

³⁰ Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

³¹ These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

³² These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
