Exodus 40
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
2 On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of witness,
On the first day of the month, in the first month, shalt thou rear the habitation, of the tent of meeting;
3 and thou shalt place [in it] the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil,
and thou shalt put therein, the ark of the testimony, —and shalt screen the ark with the veil;
4 and thou shalt bring in the table and shalt set forth that which is to be set forth on it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it.
and thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order what is to be arranged thereupon, —and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and mount the lamps thereof;
5 And thou shalt place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and thou shalt put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness.
and thou shalt place the altar of gold for incense, before the ark of the testimony, —and put up the screen for the opening of the habitation;
6 And thou shalt put the altar of burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt set up the tabernacle round about, and thou shalt hallow all that belongs to it round about.
and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, —before the opening of the habitation of the tent of meeting;
and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,
And thou shalt put up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and shalt anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shalt sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy.
And thou shalt take the oil of anointing, and anoint the habitation and all that is therein, —and shalt hallow it. and all the furniture thereof so shall it be holy.
10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offerings, and all its furniture; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of ascending sacrifice, and all its utensils, —and hallow the altar, so shall the altar be most holy:
and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow it.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt wash them with water.
And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, —and shalt bathe them in the water;
13 And thou shalt put on Aaron the holy garments, and thou shalt anoint him, and thou shalt sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest.
and thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, —and shalt anoint him and hallow him so shall he minister as priest unto me.
14 And thou shalt bring up his sons, and shalt put garments on them.
His sons also, shalt thou bring near, —and shalt clothe them with tunics;
15 And thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations.
and shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister as priests unto me, —so shall their anointing remain to them for an age-abiding priesthood, to their generations.
16 And Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
And Moses did, —according to all that Yahweh had commanded him, so did he.
17 And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up.
Thus came it to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, that the habitation was reared.
18 And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
Yea Moses reared the habitation, and placed its sockets, and fixed its boards, and fastened its bars, —and reared its pillars.
19 And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
Then spread he abroad the tent upon the habitation, and put the covering of the tent upon it, above, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
20 And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
And he took and placed the testimony within the ark, and put the staves upon the ark, —and placed the propitiatory upon the ark, above;
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on [it] the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.
and brought in the ark into the habitation, and put up the screening veil, and screened over the ark of the testimony, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
22 And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;
23 And he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south.
And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table, —on the side of the habitation southward;
25 And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, —before the veil;
27 and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;
29 And he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
and, the altar of ascending-sacrifice, put he at the entrance of the habitation of the tent of meeting, —and he caused to ascend thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and the meal-offering, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
And he put the laver, between the tent of meeting, and the altar, —and put therein water for bathing;
31 And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;
when they were entering into the tent of meeting, and when they were drawing near unto the altar, then used they to bathe, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
And he reared the court round about to the habitation and to the altar, and put up the screen of the gate of the court, —and Moses finished the work.
34 And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
and Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud had made its habitation thereupon, —and the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation.
36 And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
And whensoever the cloud ascended from off the habitation, then did the sons of Israel set forward, in all their journeyings;
37 And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
but if the cloud did not ascend, then did they not set forward—until the day when it did ascend.
38 For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
For, the cloud of Yahweh, was upon the habitation by day, and, a fire, came to be by night therein, —in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeyings.
