EXODUS
CHAPTER 40
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2
On the first day of the first month shalt
thou rear up the p. 116 tabernacle of the
tent of meeting. 3 And thou shalt put
therein the ark of the testimony, and thou
shalt screen the ark with the veil. 4 And
thou shalt bring in the table, and set in
order the bread that is upon it; and thou
shalt bring in the candlestick, and light
the lamps thereof. 5 And thou shalt set
the golden altar for incense before the
ark of the testimony, and put the screen
of -the door to the tabernacle. 6 And thou
shalt set the altar of burnt-offering
before the door of the tabernacle of the
tent of meeting. 7 And thou shalt set the
laver between the tent of meeting and the
altar, and shalt put water therein. 8 And
thou shalt set up the court round about,
and hang up the screen of the gate of the
court. 9 And thou shalt take the anointing
oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all
that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and
all the furniture thereof; and it shall be
holy. 10 And thou shalt anoint the altar
of burnt-offering, and all its vessels,
and sanctify the altar; and the altar
shall be most holy. 11 And thou shalt
anoint the laver and its base, and
sanctify it. 12 And thou shalt bring Aaron
and his sons unto the door of the tent of
meeting, and shalt wash them with water.
13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy
garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and
sanctify him, that he may minister unto Me
in the priest's office. 14 And thou shalt
bring his sons, and put tunics upon them.
15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou
didst anoint their father, that they may
minister unto Me in the priest's office;
and their anointing shall be to them for
an everlasting priesthood throughout their
generations.' 16 Thus did Moses; according
to all that the LORD commanded him, so did
he.
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. 18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle,
and laid its sockets, and set up the
boards thereof, and put in the bars
thereof, and reared up its pillars. 19 And
he spread the tent over the tabernacle,
and put the covering of the tent above
upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
20 And he took and put the testimony into
the ark, and set the staves on the ark,
and put the ark-cover above upon the ark.
21 And he brought the ark into the
tabernacle, and set up the veil of the
screen, and screened the ark of the
testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he put the table in the tent of
meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle
northward, without the veil. 23 And he set
a row of bread in order upon it before the
LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick in the tent
of meeting, over against the table, on the
side of the tabernacle southward. 25 And
he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent
of meeting before the veil; 27 and he
burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as
the LORD commanded Moses.
28 And he put the screen of the door to
the tabernacle. 29 And the altar of
burnt-offering he set at the door of the
tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and
offered upon it the burnt-offering and the
meal-offering; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
30 And he set the laver between the tent
of meeting and the altar, and put water
therein, wherewith to wash; 31 that Moses
and Aaron and his sons p. 117 might wash
their hands and their feet thereat; 32
when they went into the tent of meeting,
and when they came near unto the altar,
they should wash; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
33 And he reared up the court round about
the tabernacle and the altar, and set up
the screen of the gate of the court. So
Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of
meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled
the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able
to enter into the tent of meeting, because
the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of
the LORD filled the tabernacle.—36 And
whenever the cloud was taken up from over
the tabernacle, the children of Israel
went onward, throughout all their
journeys. 37 But if the cloud was not
taken up, then they journeyed not till the
day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud
of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by
day, and there was fire therein by night,
in the sight of all the house of Israel,
throughout all their journeys.— |
