16Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him.

16Moses did everything that the LORD had commanded him, so he did.

17So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year.

17And so in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tent was set up.

18When Moses set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames, inserted the crossbars and set up the posts.

18Moses set up the tent. He installed its sockets and set its boards in place. He inserted its bars and set up its pillars.

19Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the LORD commanded him.

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 tablets of the covenant law and placed them in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it.

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.

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.

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.

22Moses placed the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain

22He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tent, outside the curtain,

23and set out the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him.

24He placed 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 commanded him.

25and set up the lamps in the LORD's presence, just as the LORD had commanded him.

26Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain

26He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting in front of the curtain

27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD commanded him.

27and burned aromatic incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

28Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

28He set up the screen for the doorway of the tent.

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.

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 placed 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.

31and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet.

31Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet from it.

32They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, 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.

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.

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.

35Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had 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.

36In all the travels of the Israelites, whenever the cloud lifted from above the tabernacle, they would set out;

36Whenever the cloud was lifted up from the tent, the Israelis would set out on their journey,

37but if the cloud did not lift, they did not set out--until the day it lifted.

37but if the cloud was not lifted up, they would not set out until it was lifted up,

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.

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.
