| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Then the LORD said to Moses: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, on the first day of the first month. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Bring in the table and set out what belongs on it. Then bring in the lampstand 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 covenant law and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6"Place 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] | 7place 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 courtyard around it and put the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it will 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] | 12"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] | 13Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Bring his sons and dress them in tunics. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will be to a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations." |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When Moses set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames, inserted the crossbars and set up the posts. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the LORD commanded him. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20He took the tablets of the covenant law and placed them in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the LORD 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 curtain |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23and set out the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24He 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, as the LORD commanded him. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD 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 set the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings, as the LORD 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 Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash 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, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. And 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 could not 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] | 36In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out; |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out--until the day it lifted. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38So 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 Israelites during all their travels. |
