Chapter 40

1


 

  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:  

 

 

--

2


 

  The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,  

 

 

--

3


 

  And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:  

 

 

--

4


 

  And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with its lamps,  

 

 

--

5


 

  And the altar of gold whereon the incense is burnt, before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle,  

 

 

--

6


 

  And before it the altar of holocaust:  

 

 

--

7


 

  The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.  

 

 

--

8


 

  And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.  

 

 

--

9


 

  And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:  

 

 

--

10


 

  The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:  

 

 

--

11


 

  The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.  

 

 

--

12


 

  And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,  

 

 

--

13


 

  Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood.  

 

 

--

14


 

  And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.  

 

 

--

15


 

  So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.  

 

 

--

16


 

  And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,  

 

 

--

17


 

  And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.  

 

 

--

18


 

  And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.  

 

 

--

19


 

  And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord.  

 

 

--

20


 

  And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,  

 

 

--

21


 

  Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.  

 

 

--

22


 

  He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony over against the table on the south side,  

 

 

--

23


 

  Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.  

 

 

--

24


 

  He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony over against the veil,  

 

 

--

25


 

  And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.  

 

 

--

26


 

  And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,  

 

 

--

27


 

  And the altar of holocaust of the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.  

 

 

--

28


 

  And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.  

 

 

--

29


 

  And Moses and Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet,  

 

 

--

30


 

  When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.  

 

 

--

31


 

  He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected,  

 

 

--

32


 

  The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.  

 

 

--

33


 

  Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all.  

 

 

--

34


 

  If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:  

 

 

--

35


 

  If it hung over, they remained in the same place.  

 

 

--

36


 

  For the cloud of the Lord hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.
