1Then the LORD said to Moses:1וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה אֶל־ מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃
2"Set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, on the first day of the first month.2בְּיוֹם־ הַחֹ֥דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֖וֹן בְּאֶחָ֣ד לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ תָּקִ֕ים אֶת־ מִשְׁכַּ֖ן אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃
3Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain.3וְשַׂמְתָּ֣ שָׁ֔ם אֵ֖ת אֲר֣וֹן הָעֵד֑וּת וְסַכֹּתָ֥ עַל־ הָאָרֹ֖ן אֶת־ הַפָּרֹֽכֶת׃
4Bring in the table and set out what belongs on it. Then bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.4וְהֵבֵאתָ֙ אֶת־ הַשֻּׁלְחָ֔ן וְעָרַכְתָּ֖ אֶת־ עֶרְכּ֑וֹ וְהֵבֵאתָ֙ אֶת־ הַמְּנֹרָ֔ה וְהַעֲלֵיתָ֖ אֶת־ נֵרֹתֶֽיהָ׃
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.5וְנָתַתָּ֞ה אֶת־ מִזְבַּ֤ח הַזָּהָב֙ לִקְטֹ֔רֶת לִפְנֵ֖י אֲר֣וֹן הָעֵדֻ֑ת וְשַׂמְתָּ֛ אֶת־ מָסַ֥ךְ הַפֶּ֖תַח לַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
6"Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting;6וְנָ֣תַתָּ֔ה אֵ֖ת מִזְבַּ֣ח הָעֹלָ֑ה לִפְנֵ֕י פֶּ֖תַח מִשְׁכַּ֥ן אֹֽהֶל־ מוֹעֵֽד׃
7place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it.7וְנָֽתַתָּ֙ אֶת־ הַכִּיֹּ֔ר בֵּֽין־ אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד וּבֵ֣ין הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וְנָתַתָּ֥ שָׁ֖ם מָֽיִם׃
8Set up the courtyard around it and put the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard.8וְשַׂמְתָּ֥ אֶת־ הֶחָצֵ֖ר סָבִ֑יב וְנָ֣תַתָּ֔ אֶת־ מָסַ֖ךְ שַׁ֥עַר הֶחָצֵֽר׃
9"Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy.9וְלָקַחְתָּ֙ אֶת־ שֶׁ֣מֶן הַמִּשְׁחָ֔ה וּמָשַׁחְתָּ֥ אֶת־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֖ן וְאֶת־ כָּל־ אֲשֶׁר־ בּ֑וֹ וְקִדַּשְׁתָּ֥ אֹת֛וֹ וְאֶת־ כָּל־ כֵּלָ֖יו וְהָ֥יָה קֹֽדֶשׁ׃
10Then anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it will be most holy.10וּמָשַׁחְתָּ֛ אֶת־ מִזְבַּ֥ח הָעֹלָ֖ה וְאֶת־ כָּל־ כֵּלָ֑יו וְקִדַּשְׁתָּ֙ אֶת־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ וְהָיָ֥ה הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ קֹ֥דֶשׁ קָֽדָשִֽׁים׃
11Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.11וּמָשַׁחְתָּ֥ אֶת־ הַכִּיֹּ֖ר וְאֶת־ כַּנּ֑וֹ וְקִדַּשְׁתָּ֖ אֹתֽוֹ׃
12"Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.12וְהִקְרַבְתָּ֤ אֶֽת־ אַהֲרֹן֙ וְאֶת־ בָּנָ֔יו אֶל־ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד וְרָחַצְתָּ֥ אֹתָ֖ם בַּמָּֽיִם׃
13Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest.13וְהִלְבַּשְׁתָּ֙ אֶֽת־ אַהֲרֹ֔ן אֵ֖ת בִּגְדֵ֣י הַקֹּ֑דֶשׁ וּמָשַׁחְתָּ֥ אֹת֛וֹ וְקִדַּשְׁתָּ֥ אֹת֖וֹ וְכִהֵ֥ן לִֽי׃
14Bring his sons and dress them in tunics.14וְאֶת־ בָּנָ֖יו תַּקְרִ֑יב וְהִלְבַּשְׁתָּ֥ אֹתָ֖ם כֻּתֳּנֹֽת׃
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."15וּמָשַׁחְתָּ֣ אֹתָ֗ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר מָשַׁ֙חְתָּ֙ אֶת־ אֲבִיהֶ֔ם וְכִהֲנ֖וּ לִ֑י וְ֠הָיְתָה לִהְיֹ֨ת לָהֶ֧ם מָשְׁחָתָ֛ם לִכְהֻנַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם לְדֹרֹתָֽם׃
16Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him.16וַיַּ֖עַשׂ מֹשֶׁ֑ה כְּ֠כֹל אֲשֶׁ֨ר צִוָּ֧ה יְהוָ֛ה אֹת֖וֹ כֵּ֥ן עָשָֽׂה׃ ס
17So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year.17וַיְהִ֞י בַּחֹ֧דֶשׁ הָרִאשׁ֛וֹן בַּשָּׁנָ֥ה הַשֵּׁנִ֖ית בְּאֶחָ֣ד לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ הוּקַ֖ם הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
18When Moses set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames, inserted the crossbars and set up the posts.18וַיָּ֨קֶם מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶת־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֗ן וַיִּתֵּן֙ אֶת־ אֲדָנָ֔יו וַיָּ֙שֶׂם֙ אֶת־ קְרָשָׁ֔יו וַיִּתֵּ֖ן אֶת־ בְּרִיחָ֑יו וַיָּ֖קֶם אֶת־ עַמּוּדָֽיו׃
19Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the LORD commanded him.19וַיִּפְרֹ֤שׂ אֶת־ הָאֹ֙הֶל֙ עַל־ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֔ן וַיָּ֜שֶׂם אֶת־ מִכְסֵ֥ה הָאֹ֛הֶל עָלָ֖יו מִלְמָ֑עְלָה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ ס
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.20וַיִּקַּ֞ח וַיִּתֵּ֤ן אֶת־ הָעֵדֻת֙ אֶל־ הָ֣אָרֹ֔ן וַיָּ֥שֶׂם אֶת־ הַבַּדִּ֖ים עַל־ הָאָרֹ֑ן וַיִּתֵּ֧ן אֶת־ הַכַּפֹּ֛רֶת עַל־ הָאָרֹ֖ן מִלְמָֽעְלָה׃
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.21וַיָּבֵ֣א אֶת־ הָאָרֹן֮ אֶל־ הַמִּשְׁכָּן֒ וַיָּ֗שֶׂם אֵ֚ת פָּרֹ֣כֶת הַמָּסָ֔ךְ וַיָּ֕סֶךְ עַ֖ל אֲר֣וֹן הָעֵד֑וּת כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ ס
22Moses placed the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain22וַיִּתֵּ֤ן אֶת־ הַשֻּׁלְחָן֙ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד עַ֛ל יֶ֥רֶךְ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֖ן צָפֹ֑נָה מִח֖וּץ לַפָּרֹֽכֶת׃
23and set out the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him.23וַיַּעֲרֹ֥ךְ עָלָ֛יו עֵ֥רֶךְ לֶ֖חֶם לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ ס
24He placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle24וַיָּ֤שֶׂם אֶת־ הַמְּנֹרָה֙ בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד נֹ֖כַח הַשֻּׁלְחָ֑ן עַ֛ל יֶ֥רֶךְ הַמִּשְׁכָּ֖ן נֶֽגְבָּה׃
25and set up the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him.25וַיַּ֥עַל הַנֵּרֹ֖ת לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ ס
26Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain26וַיָּ֛שֶׂם אֶת־ מִזְבַּ֥ח הַזָּהָ֖ב בְּאֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד לִפְנֵ֖י הַפָּרֹֽכֶת׃
27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD commanded him.27וַיַּקְטֵ֥ר עָלָ֖יו קְטֹ֣רֶת סַמִּ֑ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ פ
28Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.28וַיָּ֛שֶׂם אֶת־ מָסַ֥ךְ הַפֶּ֖תַח לַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
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.29וְאֵת֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח הָעֹלָ֔ה שָׂ֕ם פֶּ֖תַח מִשְׁכַּ֣ן אֹֽהֶל־ מוֹעֵ֑ד וַיַּ֣עַל עָלָ֗יו אֶת־ הָעֹלָה֙ וְאֶת־ הַמִּנְחָ֔ה כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ ס
30He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing,30וַיָּ֙שֶׂם֙ אֶת־ הַכִּיֹּ֔ר בֵּֽין־ אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵ֖ד וּבֵ֣ין הַמִּזְבֵּ֑חַ וַיִּתֵּ֥ן שָׁ֛מָּה מַ֖יִם לְרָחְצָֽה׃
31and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet.31וְרָחֲצ֣וּ מִמֶּ֔נּוּ מֹשֶׁ֖ה וְאַהֲרֹ֣ן וּבָנָ֑יו אֶת־ יְדֵיהֶ֖ם וְאֶת־ רַגְלֵיהֶֽם׃
32They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses.32בְּבֹאָ֞ם אֶל־ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֗ד וּבְקָרְבָתָ֛ם אֶל־ הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ יִרְחָ֑צוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה יְהוָ֖ה אֶת־ מֹשֶֽׁה׃ ס
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.33וַיָּ֣קֶם אֶת־ הֶחָצֵ֗ר סָבִיב֙ לַמִּשְׁכָּ֣ן וְלַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ וַיִּתֵּ֕ן אֶת־ מָסַ֖ךְ שַׁ֣עַר הֶחָצֵ֑ר וַיְכַ֥ל מֹשֶׁ֖ה אֶת־ הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃ פ
34Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.34וַיְכַ֥ס הֶעָנָ֖ן אֶת־ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֑ד וּכְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֔ה מָלֵ֖א אֶת־ הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
35Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.35וְלֹא־ יָכֹ֣ל מֹשֶׁ֗ה לָבוֹא֙ אֶל־ אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵ֔ד כִּֽי־ שָׁכַ֥ן עָלָ֖יו הֶעָנָ֑ן וּכְב֣וֹד יְהוָ֔ה מָלֵ֖א אֶת־ הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
36In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;36וּבְהֵעָל֤וֹת הֶֽעָנָן֙ מֵעַ֣ל הַמִּשְׁכָּ֔ן יִסְע֖וּ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל בְּכֹ֖ל מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃
37but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out--until the day it lifted.37וְאִם־ לֹ֥א יֵעָלֶ֖ה הֶעָנָ֑ן וְלֹ֣א יִסְע֔וּ עַד־ י֖וֹם הֵעָלֹתֽוֹ׃
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.38כִּי֩ עֲנַ֨ן יְהוָ֤ה עַֽל־ הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ יוֹמָ֔ם וְאֵ֕שׁ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לַ֖יְלָה בּ֑וֹ לְעֵינֵ֥י כָל־ בֵּֽית־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּכָל־ מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃
