| 12Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water | 12Then you are to bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water. |
| 13and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest. | 13You are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, you are to anoint him, and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest. |
| 14You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them, | 14You are to bring his sons and clothe them with tunics. |
| 15and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.” | 15You are to anoint them just as you anointed their father so they may serve me as priests. Their anointing is to qualify them to belong to a perpetual priesthood from generation to generation." |
| 16This Moses did; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did. | 16Moses did everything that the LORD had commanded him, so he did. |
| 17In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected. | 17And so in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tent was set up. |
| 18Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars. | 18Moses set up the tent. He installed its sockets and set its boards in place. He inserted its bars and set up its pillars. |
| 19And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 19He spread the tent over the tent and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 20He took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark. | 20Then he took the Testimony, put it into the ark, and placed the poles on the ark. He then put the Mercy Seat on top of the ark. |
| 21And 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 had commanded Moses. | 21He brought the ark into the tent, set up the curtain, and screened off the Ark of the Testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 22He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil, | 22He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tent, outside the curtain, |
| 23and arranged the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 23and properly arranged the bread on it in the LORD's presence, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 24He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle, | 24Then he put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tent, |
| 25and set up the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 25and set up the lamps in the LORD's presence, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 26He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil, | 26He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting in front of the curtain |
| 27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 27and burned aromatic incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 28He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle. | 28He set up the screen for the doorway of the tent. |
| 29And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 29He put the altar for burnt offerings at the doorway of the tent of the Tent of Meeting, and offered the burnt offering and the grain offering on it, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 30He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing, | 30He put the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing. |
| 31with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet. | 31Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet from it. |
| 32When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses. | 32When they entered the Tent of Meeting and approached the altar, they washed, just as the LORD had commanded him. |
| 33And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work. | 33He set up the court all around the tent and the altar, and hung up the screen for the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work. |
| 34Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. | 34The cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tent. |
| 35And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. | 35Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tent. |
| 36Throughout all their journeys, whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. | 36Whenever the cloud was lifted up from the tent, the Israelis would set out on their journey, |
| 37But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. | 37but if the cloud was not lifted up, they would not set out until it was lifted up, |
| 38For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys. | 38since the cloud of the LORD was over the tent by day, and the fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys. |
