Exodus 40:1-13 ▼

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “On the first day of the month, in the first month, you raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

3 and have set the Ark of the Testimony [in] there, and have covered over the Ark with the veil,

4 and have brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and have brought in the lampstand, and caused its lamps to go up.

5 And you have put the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and have put the covering of the opening to the Dwelling Place,

6 and have put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,

7 and have put the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and have put water [in] there.

8 And you have set the court all around, and have placed the covering of the gate of the court,

9 and have taken the anointing oil, and anointed the Dwelling Place, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it has been holy;

10 and you have anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar has been most holy;

11 and you have anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

12 And you have brought Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and have bathed them with water;

13 and you have clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he has acted as priest to Me.
