1The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2“On the first day of the first month you shall erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.2On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.3And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4And you shall bring in the table and arrange it, and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.4And 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.
5And you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.5And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
6You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,6And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
7and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.7And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
8And you shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.8And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9“Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it may become holy.9And 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.
10You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, so that the altar may become most holy.10And 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.
11You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.11And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
12Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water12And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
13and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.13And 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.
14You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them,14And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
15and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.”15And 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.
16This Moses did; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.16Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.17And 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.
18Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars.18And 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.
19And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.19And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20He took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark.20And 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:
21And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as the LORD had commanded Moses.21And 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.
22He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,22And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
23and arranged the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.23And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,24And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25and set up the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.25And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,26And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.27And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.28And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
29And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.29And 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.
30He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,30And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
31with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.31And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.32When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
33And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.33And 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.
34Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.34Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.35And 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.
36Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
37But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up.37But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.38For 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.
