1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 'On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.
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 the lamps thereof.
5 'And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,

8 'And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,

9 and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that [is] therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
11 and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
12 'And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13 and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
14 'And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,
And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15 and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16 And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;
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.

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 bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded 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.

27 and maketh perfume on it — spice-perfume — as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.
29 and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
And he put the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash [withal].
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 washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded 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 raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth 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 the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;
Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath 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 in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37 and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:
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 Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle 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 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.
