16 And he did Moses according to all that he had commanded Yahweh him so he did.
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 And it was in the month first in the year second on [day] one of the month it was set up the tabernacle.
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.
18 And he set up Moses the tabernacle and he put bases its and he set up frames its and he put bars its and he set up pillars its.
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.
19 And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and he put [the] covering of the tent over it from to above just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and he set up [the] curtain of the screen and he covered over [the] ark of the testimony just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he put the table in [the] tent of meeting on [the] side of the tabernacle north-ward from [the] outside of the curtain.
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
23 And he arranged on it an arrangement of bread before Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 And he put the lampstand in [the] tent of meeting opposite to the table on [the] side of the tabernacle south-ward.
And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 And he set up [the] screen of the entrance of the tabernacle.
And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

And he set the vessel that holds water between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash likewise.
31 And they washed from it Moses and Aaron and sons his hands their and feet their.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 When went they into [the] tent of meeting and when drew near they to the altar they washed just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.
When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
33 And he set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar and he put [the] screen of [the] gate of the courtyard and he finished Moses the work.
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.
34 And it covered the cloud [the] tent of meeting and [the] glory of Yahweh it filled the tabernacle.
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 And not he was able Moses to go into [the] tent of meeting for it had settled down over it the cloud and [the] glory of Yahweh it had filled the tabernacle.
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.
36 And when was taken up the cloud from over the tabernacle they set out [the] people of Israel in all journeyings their.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 And if not it was taken up the cloud and not they set out until [the] day was taken up it.
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38 For [the] cloud of Yahweh [was] over the tabernacle by day and fire it was night on it to [the] eyes of all [the] house of Israel in all journeyings their.
For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
