* And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation mow #ed #. * And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony , and cover the ark with the vail . * 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 . * 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 . * And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation mow #ed #. * And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar , and shalt put water therein . * And thou shalt set up the court round about , and hang up the hanging at the court gate sha #ar #. * 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 . * 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 . * And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot , and sanctify it . * And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation mow #ed #, and wash them with water . * And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments , and anoint him , and sanctify him ; that he may minister unto me in the priests office . * And thou shalt bring his sons , and clothe them with coats : * And thou shalt anoint them , as thou didst anoint their father , that they may minister unto me in the priests office : for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations . * Thus did Moses : according to all that the LORD commanded him , so did he . * 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 . * 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 . * And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle , and put the covering of the tent above upon it ; as the LORD commanded Moses . * 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 : * 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 . * And he put the table in the tent of the congregation mow #ed #, upon the side of the tabernacle northward , without the vail . * And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD ; as the LORD had commanded Moses . * And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation mow #ed #, over against the table , on the side of the tabernacle southward . * And he lighted the lamps before the LORD ; as the LORD commanded Moses . * And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail : * And he burnt sweet incense thereon ; as the LORD commanded Moses . * And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle . * And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation mow #ed #, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering ; as the LORD commanded Moses . * And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar , and put water there , to wash withal . * And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat : * When they went into the tent of the congregation mow #ed #, and when they came near unto the altar , they washed ; as the LORD commanded Moses . * And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar , and set up the hanging of the court gate sha #ar #. So Moses finished the work m @la #kah #. * Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation mow #ed #, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle . * And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation mow #ed #, 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 went onward in all their journeys : * But if the cloud were not taken up , then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up . * 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 Yisra #el #, throughout all their journeys .
