Exodus 40:2-16

Thomson^{(i) 2} On the first day of the first month it being then new moon, thou shalt rear up the tabernacle of the testimony ³ and place therein the ark of the testimony and cover it with the veil. ⁴ Then thou shalt carry in the table and set in order the service thereof. And thou shalt carry in the candlestick and place on it the lamps: ⁵ and thou shalt set the golden altar, to burn incense, in its place before the ark; and thou shalt hang up the covering curtain at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. ⁶ And the altar of homage offerings thou shalt place at the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony. Then thou shalt surround the tabernacle and hallow all the things belonging to it round about. ⁷ [Omitted] ⁸ [Omitted] ⁹ For this purpose thou shalt take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all the things in it and hallow it and all its utensils 10 and they shall be holy. ¹⁰ And thou shalt anoint the altar of homage offerings and all its utensils and hallow the altar, and this altar shall be a holy of holies. ¹¹ [Omitted] ¹² Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of the testimony and wash them with water. ¹³ And thou shalt put the holy robes on Aaron and anoint him and hallow him that he may minister to me in the priest's office. ¹⁴ Thou shalt then bring forward his sons and clothe them with vestures ¹⁵ and anoint them as thou didst their father and they shall serve me as priests. And this unction of the priesthood shall belong to them forever throughout their generations. ¹⁶ So Moses did all these things. Whatever the Lord commanded him so did he.
