EX-40:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
EX-40:2 On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up
the tabernacle
of the tent of the congregation.
EX-40:3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony,
and cover the
ark with the veil.
EX-40:4 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.
EX-40:5 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.
EX-40:6 And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering
before the door of
the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
EX-40:7 And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the
congregation and
the altar, and shalt put water therein.
EX-40:8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang
up the hanging
at the court gate.
EX-40:9 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.
EX-40:10 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.
EX-40:11 And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and
sanctify it.
EX-40:12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door
of the
tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
EX-40:13 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.
EX-40:14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with
coats:
EX-40:15 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.
EX-40:16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD
commanded him, so did
he.
EX-40:17 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.
EX-40:18 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.
EX-40:19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and
put the
covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EX-40:20 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:
EX-40:21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up
the veil of
the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD
commanded
Moses.
EX-40:22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation,
upon the side
of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.
EX-40:23 And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD;
as the LORD
had commanded Moses.
EX-40:24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of the
congregation, over
against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
EX-40:25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD
commanded
Moses.
EX-40:26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the
congregation before
the veil:
EX-40:27 And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
EX-40:28 And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the
tabernacle.
EX-40:29 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.
EX-40:30 And he set the laver between the tent of the
congregation and the
altar, and put water there, to wash [withal].
EX-40:31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands
and their feet
thereat:
EX-40:32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and
when they came
near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
EX-40:33 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.
EX-40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and
the glory of
the LORD filled the tabernacle.
EX-40:35 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.
EX-40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the
tabernacle, the
children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
EX-40:37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they
journeyed not till the
day that it was taken up.
EX-40:38 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.
