and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.”
Moses proceeded to do everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.
So the Tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.

And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,

And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. 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
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, 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.
And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on 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.
Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out.
But if the cloud did not rise, they remained where they were until it lifted.
But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till 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 the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
