Exodus 40:1-38 LSV

[1] And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, [2] “On the first day of the month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, [3] and have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over the Ark with the veil, [4] and have brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and have brought in the lampstand, and caused its lamps to go up. [5] And you have put the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and have put the covering of the opening to the Dwelling Place, [6] and have put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, [7] and have put the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and have put water [in] there. [8] And you have set the court all around, and have placed the covering of the gate of the court, [9] and have taken the anointing oil, and anointed the Dwelling Place, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it has been holy; [10] and you have anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar has been most holy; [11] and you have anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it. [12] And you have brought Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water; [13] and you have clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he has acted as priest to Me. [14] And you bring his sons near, and have clothed them with coats, [15] and anointed them as you have anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing has been to them for a continuous priesthood throughout their generations.” [16] And Moses does according to all that YHWH has commanded him; so he has done. [17] And it comes to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, the Dwelling Place has been raised up; [18] and Moses raises up the Dwelling Place, and sets its sockets, and places its boards, and places its bars, and raises its pillars, [19] and spreads the tent over the Dwelling Place, and puts the covering of the tent on it above, as YHWH has commanded Moses. [20] And he takes and puts the Testimony into the Ark, and sets the poles on the Ark, and puts the propitiatory covering on the Ark above; [21] and brings the Ark into the Dwelling Place, and places the veil of the covering, and covers over the Ark of the Testimony, as YHWH has commanded Moses. [22] And he puts the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the Dwelling Place northward, at the outside of the veil, [23] and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses. [24] And he puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward, [25] and causes the lamps to go up before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses. [26] And he sets the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting, before the veil, [27] and makes incense on it—spice-incense—as YHWH has commanded Moses. [28] And he sets the covering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place, [29] and he has set the altar of the burnt-offering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and causes the burnt-offering to go up on it, and the present, as YHWH has commanded Moses. [30] And he puts the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and puts water [in] there for washing, [31] and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same; [32] in their going into the Tent of Meeting, and in their drawing near to the altar, they wash, as YHWH has commanded Moses. [33] And he raises up the court all around the Dwelling Place, and around the altar, and places the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completes the work. [34] And the cloud covers the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place; [35] and Moses has not been able to go into the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud has dwelt on it, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place. [36] And in the going up of the cloud from off the Dwelling Place the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys; [37] and if the cloud does not go up then they do not journey, until the day of its going up. [38] For the cloud of YHWH [is] on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
