40Verse 1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,^{Verse 2}On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of witness,^{Verse 3}and thou shalt place in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil,^{Verse 4}and thou shalt bring in the table and shalt set forth⁺that which is to be set forth on it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it.^{Verse 5}And thou shalt place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and thou shalt put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness.^{Verse 6}And thou shalt put the altar of burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness,^{Verse 8}and thou shalt set up the tabernacle round about, and thou shalt hallow all that belongs to it round about.^{Verse 9}And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and shalt anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shalt sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy.^{Verse 10}And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offerings, and all its furniture; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.^{Verse 12}And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt wash them with water.^{Verse 13}And thou shalt put on Aaron the holy garments, and thou shalt anoint him, and thou shalt sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest.^{Verse 14}And thou shalt bring up his sons, and shalt put garments on them.^{Verse 15}And thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an⁺everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations.^{Verse 16}And Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.^{Verse 17}And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up.^{Verse 18}And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.^{Verse 19}And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.^{Verse 20}And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves⁺by the sides of the ark.^{Verse 21}And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on it the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.^{Verse 22}And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.^{Verse 23}And he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.^{Verse 24}And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south.^{Verse 25}And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.^{Verse 26}And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;^{Verse 27}and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.^{Verse 29}And he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.^{Verse 33}And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.^{Verse 34}And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.^{Verse 35}And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.^{Verse 36}And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel⁺prepared to depart with their baggage.^{Verse 37}And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.^{Verse 38}For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their⁺journeyings.
