1 The tabernacle is commanded to be reared, 9 and anointed, 13 Aaron and his fons to be fanctified.

ANdy the LORD fpake unto Mofes,

2 On the first day of the firft month fhalt thou fet up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation:

3 And thou halt put therein the ark of the teftimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

4 And thou shalt bring in the table, and fet in order the things that are to be fet in order upon it, and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

5 And thou shalt fet the altar of gold for the incenfe before the ark of the teftimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

6 And thou fhalt fet the altar of the burnt-offering, before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

7 And thoufhalt fet the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and fhalt put water therein.

8 And thou fhalt fet up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court-gate.

9 And thou shalt take the anointing oyl, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and fhalt hallow it, and all the veffels thereof: & it fhall be holy.

10 And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt-offering, and all his veffels, and fanctifie the altar; and it shall be an altar moft holy.

[blocks in formation]

11 And thou fhalt anoint the laver and his foot, and fan&tifie it.

12 And thou fhalt bring Aaron and his fons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and fanctifie him; that he may minister unto me in the pricfts office.

14 And thou shalt bring his fons, and clothe them with coats:

15 And thou fhalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minifter unto me in the priests of fice: for their anointing fhall furely be an everlafting priesthood, throughout their generations.

16 Thus did Mofes: according to all that the LORD commanded him, fo did he.

17 And it came to pass, in the first month, in the fecond year, on the firft day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

18 And Mofes reared up the tabernacle, and faftned his fockets, and fet up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Mofes.

20 And he took and put the teftimony into the ark, and fet the ftaves on the ark, and put the mercy-feat above upon the ark.

21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and fet up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the reftimony; as the LORD commanded Mofes.

32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they wafhed; as the LORD commanded Mofes.

33 And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and fet up the hanging of the court-gate: fo Mofes finished the work.

34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

35 And Mofes 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.

36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Ifrael went onward in all their journeys:

37 But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not, till the day that it was taken up.

38 For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the fight of all the house of Ifrael, throughout all their journeys.
