Exodus 40

1 And the Lord said to Moses,

And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

2 On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.

On [the] day of the month first on [day] one of the month you will set up [the] tabernacle of [the] tent of meeting.

3 And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.

And you will put there [the] ark of the testimony and you will cover over the ark the curtain.

4 And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

And you will bring the table and you will arrange arrangement its and you will bring the lampstand and you will lift up lamps its.

5 And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

And you will put [the] altar of gold for incense before [the] ark of the testimony and you will put [the] screen of the entrance of the tabernacle.

6 And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

And you will put [the] altar of the burnt offering before [the] entrance of [the] tabernacle of [the] tent of meeting.

7 And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

And you will put the laver between [the] tent of meeting and between the altar and you will put there water.

8 And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.

And you will put the courtyard all around and you will put [the] screen of [the] gate of the courtyard.

9 And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:

And you will take [the] oil of anointing and you will anoint the tabernacle and all that [is] in it and you will consecrate it and all articles its and it will be a holy thing.

10 And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

And you will anoint [the] altar of the burnt offering and all articles its and you will consecrate the altar and it will be the altar holiness of holiness.

11 And put oil on the washing-vessel and its base, and make them holy.

And you will anoint the laver and base its and you will consecrate it.

12 Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,

And you will bring near Aaron and sons his to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting and you will wash them with water.

13 You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.

And you will clothe Aaron [the] garments of holiness and you will anoint him and you will consecrate him and he will serve as a priest me.

14 And take his sons with him and put coats on them;

And sons his you will bring near and you will clothe them tunics.

15 And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

And you will anoint them just as you anointed father their and they will serve as priests me and it will become to be for them anointing their a priesthood of perpetuity to generations their.

16 And Moses did this; as the Lord gave him orders, so he did.

And he did Moses according to all that he had commanded Yahweh him so he did.

17 So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

And it was in the month first in the year second on [day] one of the month it was set up the tabernacle.

18 Moses put up the House; placing its bases in position and lifting up its uprights, putting in the rods and planting the pillars in their places;

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.

19 Stretching the outer tent over it, and covering it, as the Lord had given him orders.

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.

20 And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it;

And he took and he put the testimony into the ark and he put the poles on the ark and he put the atonement cover on the ark from to above.

21 And he took the ark into the House, hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.

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.

22 And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil.

And he put the table in [the] tent of meeting on [the] side of the tabernacle north-ward from [the] outside of the curtain.

23 And he put the bread on it in order before the Lord, as the Lord had said.

And he arranged on it an arrangement of bread before Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

24 The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

And he put the lampstand in [the] tent of meeting opposite to the table on [the] side of the tabernacle south-ward.

25 Lighting the lights before the Lord, as the Lord had given him orders.

And he lifted up the lamps before Yahweh just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

26 And he put the gold altar in the Tent of meeting, in front of the veil:

And he put [the] altar of gold in [the] tent of meeting before the curtain.

27 Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

And he made smoke on it incense of perfume just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

28 And he put up the curtain at the doorway of the House.

And he set up [the] screen of the entrance of the tabernacle.

29 And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

And [the] altar of the burnt offering he set up [the] entrance of [the] tabernacle of [the] tent of meeting and he offered up on it the burnt offering and the grain offering just as he had commanded Yahweh Moses.

30 And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

And he put the laver between [the] tent of meeting and between the altar and he put there water for washing.

31 In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,

And they washed from it Moses and Aaron and sons his hands their and feet their.

32 Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

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.

33 And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.

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.

34 Then the cloud came down covering the Tent of meeting, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord;

And it covered the cloud [the] tent of meeting and [the] glory of Yahweh it filled the tabernacle.

35 So that Moses was not able to go into the Tent of meeting, because the cloud was resting on it, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord.

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.

36 And whenever the cloud was taken up from the House, the children of Israel went forward on their journey:

And when was taken up the cloud from over the tabernacle they set out [the] people of Israel in all journeyings their.

37 But while the cloud was there, they made no move till it was taken up.

And if not it was taken up the cloud and not they set out until [the] day was taken up it.

38 For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.

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.
