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

2On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.Select Exodus 40:2

3And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.Select Exodus 40:3

4And 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.Select Exodus 40:4

5And 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.Select Exodus 40:5

11And thou shalt anoint the laver and its foot, and sanctify it.Select Exodus 40:11

13And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to me in the priest's office.Select Exodus 40:13

14And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:Select Exodus 40:14

15And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.Select Exodus 40:15

16Thus did Moses; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.Select Exodus 40:16

17And 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.Select Exodus 40:17

18And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars.Select Exodus 40:18

19And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:19

20And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staffs on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark:Select Exodus 40:20

21And 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.Select Exodus 40:21

22And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.Select Exodus 40:22

23And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:23

24And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.Select Exodus 40:24

25And he lighted the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:25

26And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation, before the vail:Select Exodus 40:26

27And he burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:27

28And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.Select Exodus 40:28

30And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash [with].Select Exodus 40:30

31And Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and their feet thereat:Select Exodus 40:31

32When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near to the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.Select Exodus 40:32

33And 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.Select Exodus 40:33

34Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.Select Exodus 40:34

35And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.Select Exodus 40:35

36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:Select Exodus 40:36

37But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.Select Exodus 40:37

38For 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.Select Exodus 40:38
