Exodus

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say­ing, 2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the taber­na­cle of the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion. 3 And thou shalt put there­in the ark of the tes­ti­mo­ny, and cov­er the ark with the vail. 4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in or­der the things that are to be set in or­der upon it; and thou shalt bring in the can­dle­stick, and light the lamps there­of. 5 And thou shalt 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 thou shalt set the al­tar of the burnt of­fer­ing be­fore the door of the taber­na­cle of the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion. 7 And thou shalt set the laver be­tween the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion and the al­tar, and shalt put wa­ter there­in. 8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hang­ing at the court gate. 9 And thou shalt take the anoint­ing oil, and anoint the taber­na­cle, and all that is there­in, and shalt hal­low it, and all the ves­sels there­of: and it shall be holy. 10 And thou shalt anoint the al­tar of the burnt of­fer­ing, and all his ves­sels, and sanc­ti­fy the al­tar: and it shall be an al­tar most holy. 11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanc­ti­fy it. 12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the taber­na­cle of the con­gre­ga­tion, and wash them with wa­ter. 13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy gar­ments, and anoint him, and sanc­ti­fy him; that he may min­is­ter unto me in the priest's of­fice. 14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: 15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint 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 Moses: ac­cord­ing to all that the LORD 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 Moses 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 the LORD com­mand­ed Moses. 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 the vail of the cov­er­ing, and cov­ered the ark of the tes­ti­mo­ny; as the LORD com­mand­ed Moses. 22 And he put the table in the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion, upon the side of the taber­na­cle north­ward, with­out the vail. 23 And he set the bread in or­der upon it be­fore the LORD; as the LORD had com­mand­ed Moses. 24 And he put the can­dle­stick in the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion, over against the table, on the side of the taber­na­cle south­ward. 25 And he light­ed the lamps be­fore the LORD; as the LORD com­mand­ed Moses. 26 And he put the gold­en al­tar in the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion be­fore the vail: 27 And he burnt sweet in­cense there­on; as the LORD com­mand­ed Moses. 28 And he set up the hang­ing at the door of the taber­na­cle. 29 And he put the al­tar of burnt of­fer­ing by the door of the taber­na­cle of the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion, and of­fered upon it the burnt of­fer­ing and the meat of­fer­ing; as the LORD com­mand­ed Moses. 30 And he set the laver be­tween the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion and the al­tar, and put wa­ter there, to wash withal. 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there­at: 32 When they went into the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion, and when they came near unto the al­tar, they washed; as the LORD com­mand­ed Moses. 33 And he reared up the court round about the taber­na­cle and the al­tar, and set up the hang­ing of the court gate. So Moses fin­ished the work. 34 Then a cloud cov­ered the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion, and the glo­ry of the LORD filled the taber­na­cle. 35 And Moses was not able to en­ter into the tent of the con­gre­ga­tion, be­cause the cloud abode there­on, and the glo­ry of the LORD filled the taber­na­cle. 36 And when the cloud was tak­en up from over the taber­na­cle, the chil­dren of Is­rael 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 the LORD was upon the taber­na­cle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Is­rael, through­out all their jour­neys.
