* And the Lord spoke unto Moses , saying , * On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation . * And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony , and separate the ark with the vail . * And thou shalt bring in the table , and arrange the order of the showbread upon it ; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick , and light the lamps thereof . * And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony ; and thou shalt put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle . * And thou shalt set the altar of burnt –offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation . * And thou shalt set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar , and thou shalt put water therein . * And thou shalt set up the court round about , and put up the hanging at the gate of the court . * And thou shalt take the anointing oil , and anoint the tabernacle , and all that is therein ; and thou shalt hallow it , with all its vessels , and it shall be holy . * And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt –offering , and all its vessels ; and thou shalt sanctify the altar , and the altar shall be most holy . * And thou shalt anoint the laver with its foot , and sanctify it . * And thou shalt bring near Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , and wash them with water . * And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments ; and thou shalt anoint him , and sanctify him , that he may be a priest unto me . * And his sons shalt thou bring near , and clothe them with coats : * And thou shalt anoint them , as thou hast anointed their father , that they may be priests unto me ; and this shall be , that their anointing shall be unto them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations . * And Moses did so ; all , just as the Lord had commanded him , so did he . * And it came to pass in the first month in the second year , on the first of the month , that the tabernacle was reared up . * And Moses reared up the tabernacle , and placed its sockets , and set up its boards , and put in its bars , and reared up its pillars . * And he spread the tent over the tabernacle , and put the covering of the tent over it above ; as the Lord had commanded Moses . * And he took and put the testimony into the ark , and placed the staves on the ark ; and he put the mercy –seat upon the ark above . * And he brought the ark into the tabernacle , and set up the vail of the separation , and made therewith a separation for the ark of the testimony ; as the Lord had commanded Moses . * And he put the table in the tabernacle of the congregation , upon the side of the tabernacle , northward , without the vail . * And he arranged upon it the order of bread before the Lord ; as the Lord had commanded Moses . * And he placed the candlestick in the tabernacle of the congregation , opposite the table , on the side of the tabernacle , southward . * And he lighted the lamps before the Lord ; as the Lord had commanded Moses . * And he placed the golden altar in the tabernacle of the congregation before the vail . * And he burnt thereon the incense of spices ; as the Lord had commanded Moses . * And he put up the hanging at the door to the tabernacle . * And the altar of burnt –offering he placed by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation ; and he offered upon it the burnt –offering and the meat –offering ; as the Lord had commanded Moses . * And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar , and put water there , for washing . * And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed therefrom their hands and their feet . * When they went in unto the tabernacle of the congregation , and when they came near unto the altar , they washed themselves ; as the Lord had commanded Moses . * And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar , and put up the hanging of the gate of the court ; and so did Moses finish the work . * And the cloud covered the tent of the congregation , and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle . * 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 . * And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle , the children of Israel were wont to go onward in all their journeyings . * But if the cloud was not taken up , then they journeyed not till the day that is was taken up . * For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day , and a fire was by night on it , before the eyes of all the house of Israel , throughout all their journeyings .
