40Exodus 40

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:Select Exodus 40:1

2The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,Select Exodus 40:2

3And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:Select Exodus 40:3

4And 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,Select Exodus 40:4

5And 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,Select Exodus 40:5

6And before it the altar of holocaust.Select Exodus 40:6

7The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.Select Exodus 40:7

8And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.Select Exodus 40:8

9And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:Select Exodus 40:9

10The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:Select Exodus 40:10

11The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.Select Exodus 40:11

12And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,Select Exodus 40:12

13Thou 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.Select Exodus 40:13

14And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.Select Exodus 40:14

15So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.Select Exodus 40:15

16And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,Select Exodus 40:16

17And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.Select Exodus 40:17

18And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.Select Exodus 40:18

19And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord.Select Exodus 40:19

20And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, without the veil,Select Exodus 40:20

21Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:21

22He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony, over against the table on the south side,Select Exodus 40:22

23Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.Select Exodus 40:23

24He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, over against the veil,Select Exodus 40:24

25And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:25

26And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,Select Exodus 40:26

27And the altar of holocaust in the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.Select Exodus 40:27

28And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.Select Exodus 40:28

29And Moses and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and feet,Select Exodus 40:29

30When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:30

31He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected,Select Exodus 40:31

32The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.Select Exodus 40:32

33Neither 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.Select Exodus 40:33

34If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:Select Exodus 40:34

35If it hung over, they remained in the same place.Select Exodus 40:35

36For 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.Select Exodus 40:36
