*
So Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law ,
and said to him , "
Please let me go and return to my brethren who are in Egypt ,
and see whether they are still alive ."
And Jethro said to Moses , "
Go in peace ."
*
Now the LORD said to Moses in Midian , "
Go ,
return to Egypt ;
for all the men who sought your life are dead ."
*
Then Moses took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey ,
and he returned to the land of Egypt .
And Moses took the rod of God in his hand .
*
And the LORD said to Moses , "
When you go back to Egypt ,
see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand .
But I will harden his heart ,
so that he will not let the people go .
*
Then you shall say to Pharaoh , "
Thus says the LORD : "
Israel is My son ,
My firstborn .
*
So I say to you ,
let My son go that he may serve Me .
But if you refuse to let him go ,
indeed I will kill your son ,
your firstborn .""'
*
And it came to pass on the way ,
at the encampment ,
that the LORD met him and sought to kill him .
*
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at Moses '
feet ,
and said , "
Surely you are a husband of blood to me !"
*
So He let him go .
Then she said , "
You are a husband of blood !"--
because of the circumcision .
*
And the LORD said to Aaron , "
Go into the wilderness to meet Moses ."
So he went and met him on the mountain of God ,
and kissed him .
*
So Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him ,
and all the signs which He had commanded him .
*
Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel .
*
And Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses .
Then he did the signs in the sight of the people .
*
So the people believed ;
and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction ,
then they bowed their heads and worshiped .
*
Then the LORD spoke to Moses ,
saying :
* "
On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting .
*
You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony ,
and partition off the ark with the veil .
*
You shall bring in the table and arrange the things that are to be set in order on it ;
and you shall bring in the lampstand and light its lamps .
*
You shall also set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the Testimony ,
and put up the screen for the door of the tabernacle .
*
Then you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting .
*
And you shall set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar ,
and put water in it .
*
You shall set up the court all around ,
and hang up the screen at the court gate .
* "
And you shall take the anointing oil ,
and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it ;
and you shall hallow it and all its utensils ,
and it shall be holy .
*
You shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its utensils ,
and consecrate the altar .
The altar shall be most holy .
*
And you shall anoint the laver and its base ,
and consecrate it .
* "
Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water .
*
You shall put the holy garments on Aaron ,
and anoint him and consecrate him ,
that he may minister to Me as priest .
*
And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics .
*
You shall anoint them ,
as you anointed their father ,
that they may minister to Me as priests ;
for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations ."
*
Thus Moses did ;
according to all that the LORD had commanded him ,
so he did .
*
And it came to pass in the first month of the second year ,
on the first day of the month ,
that the tabernacle was raised up .
*
So Moses raised up the tabernacle ,
fastened its sockets ,
set up its boards ,
put in its bars ,
and raised up its pillars .
*
And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it ,
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He took the Testimony and put it into the ark ,
inserted the poles through the rings of the ark ,
and put the mercy seat on top of the ark .
*
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle ,
hung up the veil of the covering ,
and partitioned off the ark of the Testimony ,
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He put the table in the tabernacle of meeting ,
on the north side of the tabernacle ,
outside the veil ;
*
and he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD ,
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He put the lampstand in the tabernacle of meeting ,
across from the table ,
on the south side of the tabernacle ;
*
and he lit the lamps before the LORD ,
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He put the gold altar in the tabernacle of meeting in front of the veil ;
*
and he burned sweet incense on it ,
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He hung up the screen at the door of the tabernacle .
*
And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting ,
and offered upon it the burnt offering and the grain offering ,
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar ,
and put water there for washing ;
*
and Moses ,
Aaron ,
and his sons would wash their hands and their feet with water from it .
*
Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting ,
and when they came near the altar ,
they washed ,
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar ,
and hung up the screen of the court gate .
So Moses finished the work .
*
Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting ,
and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle .
*
And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting ,
because the cloud rested above it ,
and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle .
*
Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle ,
the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys .
*
But if the cloud was not taken up ,
then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up .
*
For the cloud of the LORD was above the tabernacle by day ,
and fire was over it by night ,
in the sight of all the house of Israel ,
throughout all their journeys .
