| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony, and hang the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.” |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Moses took the Testimony and placed it in the ark, attaching the poles to the ark; and he set the mercy seat atop the ark. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the veil for the screen, and shielded off the ark of the Testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29He placed the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing; |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33And Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and he hung the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Moses was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel through all their journeys. |
