Exodus 40:1-10 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 “You are to set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, on the first day of the first month.

3 Put the ark of the testimony there and screen off the ark with the curtain.

4 Then bring in the table and lay out its arrangement; also bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5 Place the gold altar for incense in front of the ark of the testimony. Put up the screen for the entrance to the tabernacle.

6 Position the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

7 Place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8 Assemble the surrounding courtyard and hang the screen for the gate of the courtyard.

9 “Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings so that it will be holy.

10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar so that it will be especially holy.
