1 And YAHUAH spake unto Mosheh, 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 Mosheh: according to all that YAHUAH 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 Mosheh 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 YAHUAH commanded Mosheh.
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 YAHUAH commanded Mosheh.
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 YAHUAH; as YAHUAH had commanded
Mosheh.
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 YAHUAH; as YAHUAH commanded Mosheh.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as YAHUAH commanded Mosheh.
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 YAHUAH commanded Mosheh.
30 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and
put water there, to wash [withal].
31 And Mosheh 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 YAHUAH commanded Mosheh.
33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set
up the hanging of the court gate. So Mosheh finished the work.
34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of YAHUAH
filled the tabernacle.
35 And Mosheh was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because
the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of YAHUAH filled the tabernacle.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of
Yisrael 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 YAHUAH [was] upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it
by night, in the sight of all the house of Yisrael, throughout all their
journeys.
