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 shall you set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
On the first day of the month, in the first month, shalt thou rear the habitation, of the tent of meeting;
3 And you shall put therein the ark of the testimony, and 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 you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order on it; and you shall bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
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 you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door 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 you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
and thou shalt place the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, —before the opening of the habitation of the tent of meeting;
7 And you shall set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shall put water therein.
and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,
8 And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
And thou shalt put up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shall hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: 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 you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar 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 you shall anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow it.
12 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and 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 you shall put on Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
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 you shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
His sons also, shalt thou bring near, —and shalt clothe them with tunics;
15 And you shall anoint them, as you did anoint their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be 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 Thus did Moses: according to all that 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, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared 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 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.
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 abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above on it; 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 and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on 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 set up the veil of the covering, 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 tent of the congregation, on the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.
And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;
23 And he set the bread in order on it before the LORD; as the LORD 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 the congregation, over against 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 the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the veil:
And he put the altar of gold in the tent of meeting, —before the veil;
27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
28 And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;
29 And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD 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 the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash with.
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 thereat:
and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;
32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near to the altar, they washed; as the LORD 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 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.
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 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
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 tent of the congregation, because the cloud stayed thereon, and the glory of the LORD 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 went onward 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 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till 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 the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight 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.
