8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and put up the hanging at the gate of the court.

16 And Moses did so; all, just as the Lord had commanded him, so did he.
And Moses did all things whatever the Lord 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 reared up.
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.
18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and placed its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it above; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and placed the staves on the ark; and he put the mercy-seat upon the ark above.
And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the separation, and made therewith a separation for the ark of the testimony; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
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.
22 And he put the table in the tabernacle of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle, northward, without the vail.
And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
23 And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he put on it the show bread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
24 And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.
And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south.
25 And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26 And he placed the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation before the vail.
And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
27 And he burnt thereon the incense of spices; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
28 And he put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle.
29 And the altar of burnt-offering he placed by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; and he offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meat-offering; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And he put the altar of the burnt offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
30 And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, for washing.
31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet.
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
32 When they went in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed themselves; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and put up the hanging of the gate of the court; and so did Moses finish the work.
34 And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation; because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
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.
36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings.
And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that is was taken up.
And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
38 For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and a fire was by night on it, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeyings.
For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.
