*
Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law ,
and said to him , "
Please let me go and return to my brothers who are in Egypt ,
and see whether they are still alive ."
Jethro said to Moses , "
Go in peace ."
*
Yahweh said to Moses in Midian , "
Go ,
return into Egypt ;
for all the men who sought your life are dead ."
*
Moses took his wife and his sons ,
and set them on a donkey ,
and he returned to the land of Egypt .
Moses took God '
s rod in his hand .
*
Yahweh said to Moses , "
When you go back into Egypt ,
see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your hand ,
but I will harden his heart and he will not let the people go .
*
You shall tell Pharaoh , '
Thus says Yahweh ,
Israel is my son ,
my firstborn ,
*
and I have said to you , "
Let my son go ,
that he may serve me ";
and you have refused to let him go .
Behold ,
I will kill your son ,
your firstborn .'"
*
It happened on the way at a lodging place ,
that Yahweh met Moses and wanted to kill him .
*
Then Zipporah took a flint ,
and cut off the foreskin of her son ,
and cast it at his feet ;
and she said , "
Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me ."
*
So he let him alone .
Then she said , "
You are a bridegroom of blood ,"
because of the circumcision .
*
Yahweh said to Aaron , "
Go into the wilderness to meet Moses ."
He went ,
and met him on God '
s mountain ,
and kissed him .
*
Moses told Aaron all the words of Yahweh with which he had sent him ,
and all the signs with which he had instructed him .
*
Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel .
*
Aaron spoke all the words which Yahweh had spoken to Moses ,
and did the signs in the sight of the people .
*
The people believed ,
and when they heard that Yahweh had visited the children of Israel ,
and that he had seen their affliction ,
then they bowed their heads and worshiped .
*
Yahweh spoke to Moses ,
saying ,
* "
On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting .
*
You shall put the ark of the testimony in it ,
and you shall screen the ark with the veil .
*
You shall bring in the table ,
and set in order the things that are on it .
You shall bring in the lampstand ,
and light its lamps .
*
You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony ,
and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle .
* "
You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting .
*
You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar ,
and shall put water therein .
*
You shall set up the court around it ,
and hang up the screen of the gate of the court .
* "
You shall take the anointing oil ,
and anoint the tabernacle ,
and all that is in it ,
and shall make it holy ,
and all its furniture :
and it will be holy .
*
You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering ,
with all its vessels ,
and sanctify the altar :
and the altar will be most holy .
*
You shall anoint the basin and its base ,
and sanctify it .
* "
You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting ,
and shall wash them with water .
*
You shall put on Aaron the holy garments ;
and you shall anoint him ,
and sanctify him ,
that he may minister to me in the priest '
s office .
*
You shall bring his sons ,
and put coats on them .
*
You shall anoint them ,
as you anointed their father ,
that they may minister to me in the priest '
s office .
Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations ."
*
Moses did so .
According to all that Yahweh commanded him ,
so he did .
*
It happened in the first month in the second year ,
on the first day of the month ,
that the tabernacle was raised up .
*
Moses raised up the tabernacle ,
and laid its sockets ,
and set up its boards ,
and put in its bars ,
and raised up its pillars .
*
He spread the covering over the tent ,
and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He took and put the testimony into the ark ,
and set the poles on the ark ,
and put the mercy seat above on the ark .
*
He brought the ark into the tabernacle ,
and set up the veil of the screen ,
and screened the ark of the testimony ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put the table in the Tent of Meeting ,
on the side of the tabernacle northward ,
outside of the veil .
*
He set the bread in order on it before Yahweh ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting ,
opposite the table ,
on the side of the tabernacle southward .
*
He lit the lamps before Yahweh ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil ;
*
and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle .
*
He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting ,
and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar ,
and put water therein ,
with which to wash .
*
Moses ,
Aaron ,
and his sons washed their hands and their feet there .
*
When they went into the Tent of Meeting ,
and when they came near to the altar ,
they washed ,
as Yahweh commanded Moses .
*
He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar ,
and set up the screen of the gate of the court .
So Moses finished the work .
*
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting ,
and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle .
*
Moses wasn '
t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting ,
because the cloud stayed on it ,
and Yahweh '
s glory filled the tabernacle .
*
When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle ,
the children of Israel went onward ,
throughout all their journeys ;
*
but if the cloud wasn '
t taken up ,
then they didn '
t travel until the day that it was taken up .
*
For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day ,
and there was fire in the cloud by night ,
in the sight of all the house of Israel ,
throughout all their journeys .
