“On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
Then bring in the table, and arrange the utensils on it. And bring in the lampstand, and set up the lamps.

“And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.
“Take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle and all its furnishings to consecrate them and make them holy.

“Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and wash them with water.
You shall put the holy garments on Aaron, and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.
Dress Aaron with the sacred garments and anoint him, consecrating him to serve me as a priest.
And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.
Then present his sons and dress them in their tunics.
You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me as priests; for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”
Anoint them as you did their father, so they may also serve me as priests. With their anointing, Aaron’s descendants are set apart for the priesthood forever, from generation to generation.”

The Cloud and the Glory
Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
The LORD’s Glory Fills the Tabernacle
Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Moses could no longer enter the Tabernacle because the cloud had settled down over it, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.
For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
The cloud of the LORD hovered over the Tabernacle during the day, and at night fire glowed inside the cloud so the whole family of Israel could see it. This continued throughout all their journeys.
