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 priests 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
priests 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.
