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