40:001

And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying

40:002

'On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting

40:003

And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil

40:004

And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the bread that is upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof

40:005

And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle

40:006

And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting

40:007

And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein

40:008

And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court

40:009

And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof; and it shall be holy

40:010

And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar; and the altar shall be most holy

40:011

And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it

40:012

And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water

40:013

And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto Me in the priest's office

40:014

And thou shalt bring his sons, and put tunics upon them

40:015

And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto Me in the priest's office; and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.' commanded him, so did he

40:017

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

40:018

And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars

40:019

And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as HaShem commanded Moses

40:020

And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the ark-cover above upon the ark

40:021

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as HaShem commanded Moses

40:022

And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil

40:023

And he set a row of bread in order upon it before HaShem; as HaShem commanded Moses

40:024

And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward

40:025

And he lighted the lamps before HaShem; as HaShem commanded Moses

40:026

And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil

40:027

and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as HaShem commanded Moses

40:028

And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle

40:029

And the altar of burnt-offering he set at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as HaShem commanded Moses

40:030

And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith to wash

40:031

that Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet thereat

40:032

when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they should wash; as HaShem commanded Moses

40:033

And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work

40:034

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of HaShem filled the tabernacle

40:035

And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of HaShem filled the tabernacle.-

40:036

And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys

40:037

But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up

40:038

For the cloud of HaShem was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys
