1 the LORD said to Moses:
2 "Set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting on the first day of the first month of the year.
3 You shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall veil the ark with the curtain.
4 "Bring in the table and place the equipment on it. Also bring the lamp stand and set up the lamps on it.
5 "Put the gold altar for burning incense in front of the Covenant Box and hang the curtain at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
6 You shall put the altar for burnt offerings in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
7 You shall put the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it.
8 and set up the court all around and give the covering at the court portal:
9 You shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it. You shall consecrate it and all its furnishings and it will be holy.
10 "You shall anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all its utensils. You shall consecrate the altar and the altar will be most holy.
11 And anoint the wash-basin and its foot, and consecrate it
12 Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water.
13 »Dress Aaron in the priestly garments and anoint him. Consecrate him so that he can serve me as priest.
14 "Bring his sons and put the shirts on them.
15 "Anoint them just as you anointed their father that they can serve me as priests. This anointing will make them priests for generations to come."
16 Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded.
17 Thus was the tabernacle reared up, the first month in the second year.
18 When Moses set up the tent, he put the sockets in place, put up the frames, inserted the crossbars, and set up the posts.
19 And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent over it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20 He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
21 and he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the curtain and covered the ark of the testimony, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain,
23 He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
24 He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
25 and set up the lamps before the LORD: as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting in front of the curtain
27 And he burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
29 He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 He put the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons used this water to wash their hands and feet.
32 They washed when they went into the tent of meeting and when they came near to the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses.
33 He set up the courtyard around the tent and the altar and put up the screen at the entrance to the courtyard. At last Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 In all their travels, when the column of smoke moved from the tent, the Israelites would break camp.
37 But if the cloud was not lifted, they did not set out until the day of its being lifted.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and the fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
