Exodus 40
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
2 “On the first day of the month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place 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 have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over 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 have brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and have brought in the lampstand, and caused its lamps to go up.
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 have put the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and have put the covering of the opening to the Dwelling Place,
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 have put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place 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 have put the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and have put water [in] there.
and thou shalt place the laver between the tent of meeting, and the altar, and shalt put therein water,
8 And you have set the court all around, and have placed the covering of 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 have taken the anointing oil, and anointed the Dwelling Place, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it has been 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 have anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar has been 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 have anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
and thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, —and shalt hallow it.
12 And you have brought Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed 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 have clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he has acted as priest to Me.
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 bring his sons near, and have clothed them with coats,
His sons also, shalt thou bring near, —and shalt clothe them with tunics;
15 and anointed them as you have anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing has been to them for a continuous 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 does according to all that YHWH has commanded him; so he has done.
And Moses did, —according to all that Yahweh had commanded him, so did he.
17 And it comes to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, the Dwelling Place has been raised 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 raises up the Dwelling Place, and sets its sockets, and places its boards, and places its bars, and raises 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 spreads the tent over the Dwelling Place, and puts the covering of the tent on it above, as YHWH has 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 takes and puts the Testimony into the Ark, and sets the poles on the Ark, and puts the propitiatory covering on the Ark above;
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 brings the Ark into the Dwelling Place, and places the veil of the covering, and covers over the Ark of the Testimony, as YHWH has 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 puts the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the Dwelling Place northward, at the outside of the veil,
And he placed the table in the tent of meeting, —on the side of the habitation northward, —outside the veil;
23 and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
and set in order thereupon the arrangement of bread before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
24 And he puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward,
And he put the lampstand, in the tent of meeting, over against the table, —on the side of the habitation southward;
25 and causes the lamps to go up before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
and mounted the lamps before Yahweh, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
26 And he sets 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 makes incense on it—spice-incense—as YHWH has commanded Moses.
and burned thereupon the fragrant incense, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.
28 And he sets the covering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place,
And he put up the screen of the entrance pertaining to the habitation;
29 and he has set the altar of the burnt-offering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and causes the burnt-offering to go up on it, and the present, as YHWH has 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 puts the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and puts water [in] there 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 have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
and Moses and Aaron and his sons thenceforth bathed thereat, —their hands and their feet;
32 in their going into the Tent of Meeting, and in their drawing near to the altar, they wash, as YHWH has 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 raises up the court all around the Dwelling Place, and around the altar, and places the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completes 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 covers the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place;
Then did the cloud cover the tent of meeting, —and, the glory of Yahweh, filled the habitation;
35 and Moses has not been able to go into the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud has dwelt on it, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place.
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 in the going up of the cloud from off the Dwelling Place the sons of Israel journey 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 does not go up then they do not journey, until the day of its going 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 YHWH [is] on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in 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.
