Chapter 40

1

AND Yahuah spoke unto Mosheh, saying,

2

On the first day of the first month shall you set up the Tabernacle of the tent of the assembly.

3

And you shall put therein את the Ark of the Testimony, and cover the Ark with the veil.

4

And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and you shall bring in the menorah, and light the lamps thereof.

5

And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the Tabernacle.

6

And you shall set את the altar of the ascending smoke offering before the door of the Tabernacle of the tent of the assembly.

7

And you shall set the laver between the tent of the assembly and the altar, and shall put water therein.

8

And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

9

And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shall hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

10

And you shall anoint the altar of the ascending smoke offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

11

And you shall anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

12

And you shall bring Aharon and his sons unto the door of the Tabernacle of the assembly, and wash them with water.

13

And you shall put upon Aharon את the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.

14

And you shall bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

15

And you shall anoint them, as you anointed 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

Thus did Mosheh: according to all that Yahuah commanded him, so did he.

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.

18

And Mosheh 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.

19

And he spread abroad the tent over the Tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.

20

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 he brought the Ark into the Tabernacle, and set up את the veil of the covering, and covered the Ark of the Testimony; as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.

22

And he put the table in the tent of the assembly, upon the side of the Tabernacle northward, without the veil.

23

And he set the bread in order upon it before Yahuah; as Yahuah had commanded Mosheh.

24

And he put the menorah in the tent of the assembly, over against the table, on the side of the Tabernacle southward.

25

And he lighted the lamps before Yahuah; as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.

26

And he put the golden altar in the tent of the assembly before the veil:

27

And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.

28

And he set up the hanging at the door of the Tabernacle.

29

And he put the altar of the ascending smoke offering by the door of the Tabernacle of the tent of the assembly, and offered upon it the ascending smoke offering and the oblation; as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.

30

And he set the laver between the tent of the assembly and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

31

And Mosheh and Aharon and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

32

When they went into the tent of the assembly, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as Yahuah commanded Mosheh.

33

And he reared up the court round about the Tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Mosheh finished the work.

34

Then a cloud covered the tent of the assembly, and the glory of Yahuah filled the Tabernacle.

35

And Mosheh was not able to enter into the tent of the assembly, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Yahuah filled the Tabernacle.

36

And when the cloud was taken up from over the Tabernacle, the children of Yashar'el went onward in all their journeys:

37

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 Yahuah was upon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Yashar'el, throughout all their journeys.
