Exodus 40
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
2 On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
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 put 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 set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.
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 set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
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 set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, —before the opening of the habitation of the tent of meeting;
7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,
8 And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
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 anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; 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-offering, and all its utensils; 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:
11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow it.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe 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 clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve 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 his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
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, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting 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 so: as Jehovah had 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, on the first of the month, 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 in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars.
Yea Moses reared the habitation, and placed its sockets, and fixed its boards, and fastened its bars, —and reared its pillars.
19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had 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 and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on 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 hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had 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 tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;
23 and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table, —on the side of the habitation southward;
25 And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.
And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, —before the veil;
27 And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
28 And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;
29 And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
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.
30 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
And he put the laver, between the tent of meeting, and the altar, —and put therein water for bathing;
31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:
and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;
32 when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
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.
33 And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.
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 tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;
35 And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
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 was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.
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 were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
but if the cloud did not ascend, then did they not set forward—until the day when it did ascend.
38 For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
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.
