And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its! boards, 'its! bars, and its pillars, and its sock34 ets; and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of the 'screen'; 35 the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy-seat; (36 °the table, all the vessels thereof, and (37 the shewbread; the pure candle

According to all that

the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it and Moses blessed them. 401 And the LORD spake unto Moses, 2 saying, On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the taber3) nacle of the tent of meeting. And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and 'thou shalt screen' the (4 ark with the veil. And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and (5 light the lamps thereof. And thou shalt set the 'golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the (6 tabernacle. And thou shalt set the altar of burnt offering before the door

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 Iscreen 9 of the gate of the court. 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 11 shall be most holy. And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and 12 sanctify it. And thou shalt bring

:

Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting', and 'shalt' 13 wash them with water. And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister 14) unto me in the priest's office. And

thou shalt bring his sons, and 'put (15 coats upon them: 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 16 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 18 was reared up. And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared (19 up its pillars. And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; 20 as the LORD commanded Moses. he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above 21 upon the ark: 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 22 commanded Moses.

And he put the candlestick in the tent of Imeeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25 And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded 26 Moses. And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the 27) veil: and he burnt thereon incense

of sweet spices; as the LORD com28 manded Moses. And he put the Iscreen of the door to the tabernacle.

And he 'set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of 'meeting', and offered upon it the burnt offering and the Imeal offering; as the LORD com30 manded Moses. And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water 'therein', 31 to wash withal. 02And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands 2 and their feet thereat; when they went into the tent of meeting', and

when they came near unto the altar, they washed: as the LORD commanded 33) Moses. 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.

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the 35 LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of 'meeting', because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the 36 LORD filled the tabernacle. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all 37 their journeys: but if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not 38) till the day that it was taken up. 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.
