< Exodus 40 >

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah speaketh 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, thou dost raise up the tabernacle 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 hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,
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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;
and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified 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 hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with 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 hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.
14 And thou shalt bring up his sons, and shalt put garments on them.
'And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,
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 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 did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
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.
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 set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth 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.
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 took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
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 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 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 put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
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 he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south.
And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,
25 And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,
27 and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
and maketh perfume on it — spice-perfume — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
29 And he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
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.
And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,
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 have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
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 covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;
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 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 when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
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 went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:
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 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.
