The Tabernacle Completed
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
The Tabernacle Set Up
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.
Then bring in the table, and arrange the utensils on it. And bring in the lampstand, and set up the lamps.
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 its lamps.
“Place the gold incense altar in front of the Ark of the Covenant. Then hang the curtain at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the Tabernacle entrance.
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
Then set up the courtyard around the outside of the tent, and hang the curtain for the courtyard entrance.
And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
“Take the anointing oil and anoint the Tabernacle and all its furnishings to consecrate them and make them holy.
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy.
Anoint the altar of burnt offering and its utensils to consecrate them. Then the altar will become absolutely holy.
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
Next anoint the washbasin and its stand to consecrate them.
And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
“Present Aaron and his sons at the entrance of the Tabernacle, and wash them with water.

Dress Aaron with the sacred garments and anoint him, consecrating him to serve me as a priest.
And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
Then present his sons and dress them in their tunics.
And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
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.”
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Moses proceeded to do everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
So the Tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
Moses erected the Tabernacle by setting down its bases, inserting the frames, attaching the crossbars, and setting up the posts.
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars.
Then he spread the coverings over the Tabernacle framework and put on the protective layers, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on the ark.
Then he brought the Ark of the Covenant into the Tabernacle and hung the inner curtain to shield it from view, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Next Moses placed the table in the Tabernacle, along the north side of the Holy Place, just outside the inner curtain.
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
And he arranged the Bread of the Presence on the table before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
He set the lampstand in the Tabernacle across from the table on the south side of the Holy Place.
And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Then he lit the lamps in the LORD’s presence, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
He also placed the gold incense altar in the Tabernacle, in the Holy Place in front of the inner curtain.
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.
On it he burned the fragrant incense, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
He hung the curtain at the entrance of the Tabernacle,
And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
and he placed the altar of burnt offering near the Tabernacle entrance. On it he offered a burnt offering and a grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.
And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Next Moses placed the washbasin between the Tabernacle and the altar. He filled it with water so the priests could wash themselves.
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
Moses and Aaron and Aaron’s sons used water from it to wash their hands and feet.
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:
Whenever they approached the altar and entered the Tabernacle, they washed themselves, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Then he hung the curtains forming the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar. And he set up the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard. So at last Moses finished the work.
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.
The LORD’s Glory Fills the Tabernacle
Then the cloud covered the Tabernacle, and the glory of the LORD filled the Tabernacle.
The Glory of the Lord
And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah 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.
And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
Now whenever the cloud lifted from the Tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey, following it.
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.
And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
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.
For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
