Exodus 40
40:1And the lord spoke to Moses, saying,
40:2On day one of the month of the first new moon, you shall set up the tent of the testimony,
40:3and you shall set up there the ark of the testimony, and you shall shelter the ark by the veil.
40:4And you shall carry in the table, and you shall set its place setting. And you shall carry in the lamp-stand, and you shall place on it its lamps.
40:5And you shall place the golden altar to burn incense before the ark of the testimony. And you shall place a covering veil upon the door of the tent.
40:6And the altar of the yield offerings you shall put by the door of the tent of the testimony.
40:7And you shall place the bathing tub between the tent of the testimony and between the altar. And you shall put water in it.
40:8And you shall station the courtyard round about. And you shall station the veil of the gate of the courtyard.
40:9And you shall take the oil of the scented unguent, and you shall anoint the tent, and all the things in it. And you shall sanctify it, and all its items. And it shall be holy.
40:10And you shall anoint the altar of the yield offerings, and all its utensils.
40:11And you shall anoint the bathing tub, and its base, and you shall sanctify it. And you shall sanctify the altar. And it will be the altar of the holy of the holies.
40:12And you shall lead Aaron and his sons unto the doors of the tent of the testimony, and you shall bathe them in water.
40:13And you shall put on Aaron the holy apparels, and you shall anoint him, and you shall sanctify him, and he shall officiate as priest to me.
40:14And his sons you shall lead forward, and you shall put on them inner garments.
40:15And you shall anoint them in which manner you anointed their father, and they shall officiate as priests to me. And it will be so as to be to them an anointing priesthood into the eon, unto their generations.
40:16And Moses did all as much as the lord gave charge to him -- thus he did.
40:17And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year of their going forth from out of Egypt, at the new moon, the tent was set up.
40:18And Moses set up the tent, and placed the tips, and inserted the bars, and set up its posts.
40:19And he stretched out the curtains upon the tent, and they placed the tent coverings upon it from above -- as the lord gave orders to Moses.
40:20And taking the testimonies, he put them into the ark, and he placed the poles under the ark, and he placed the atonement-seat upon the ark.
40:21And he carried the ark into the tent, and he set the covering of the veil, and it sheltered the ark of the testimony in which manner the lord gave orders to Moses.
40:22And he placed the table in the tent of the testimony, upon the side of the tent of the testimony, the one towards the north, from outside the veil of the tent.
40:23And he set upon it the bread loaves of the place setting before the lord, in which manner the lord gave orders to Moses.
40:24And he put the lamp-stand in the tent of the testimony before the table, to the side of the tent towards the south.
40:25And he placed upon it its lamps before the lord, in which manner the lord gave orders to Moses.
40:26And he put the golden altar in the tent of the testimony before the veil.
40:27And he burned incense upon it, the incense of the composition, just as the lord gave orders to Moses.
40:28And he placed the draw curtain of the door of the tent.
40:29And the altar of the yield offerings he put by the door of the tent of the testimony. And he offered on it a whole burnt-offering, and a sacrifice offering, as the lord gave orders to Moses.
40:30And he put the bathing tub between the tent of the testimony, and between the altar. And he placed water in it
40:31for Moses and Aaron and his sons to wash from it their hands and feet,
40:32in their entering into the tent of the testimony; or whenever they went to the altar to officiate, they washed from it, as the lord gave orders to Moses.
40:33And he set up the courtyard round about the tent and the testimony, and he stationed the draw curtain of the door of the courtyard. And Moses completed all the works.
40:34And the cloud covered the tent of the testimony, and the tent was filled of the glory of the lord.
40:35And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the testimony, for the cloud overshadowed upon it, and the tent was filled of the glory of the lord.
40:36And when ever the cloud ascended from the tent, the sons of Israel broke camp with their chattel.
40:37But if the cloud ascends not, they did not break camp till the day which the cloud ascended.
40:38For the cloud was upon the tent by day, and fire was upon it by night, before all Israel, in all their marchings.
