40:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the
tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
40:3 And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and
cover the ark with the vail.
40:4 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 its lamps.
40:5 And 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.
40:6 And thou shalt set the altar of the, burnt-offering before
the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
40:7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the
congregation and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
40:8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up
the hanging at the court-gate.
40:9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the
tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and shalt hallow it, and
all its vessels: and it shall be holy.
40:10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt-offering and
all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an
altar most holy.
40:11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and its foot, and sanctify
it.
40:12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
40:13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and
anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to me in the
priest's office.
40:14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
40:15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their
father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office:
for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood
throughout their generations.
40:16 Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded
him, so did he.
40:17 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.
40:18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened its
sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared
up its pillars.
40:19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put
the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
40:20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set
the staffs on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the
ark:
40:21 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.
40:22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon
the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
40:23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as
the LORD had commanded Moses.
40:24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the
congregation, over against the table, on the side of the
tabernacle southward.
40:25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD
commanded Moses.
40:26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the
congregation, before the vail:
40:27 And he burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
40:28 And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.
40:29 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.
40:30 And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation
and the altar, and put water there, to wash [with].
40:31 And Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and
their feet thereat:
40:32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when
they came near to the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
40:33 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.
40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the
glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
40:35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the
congregation, because the cloud abode upon it, and the glory of
the LORD filled the tabernacle.
40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle,
the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
40:37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not
till the day that it was taken up.
40:38 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.
