Exodus 40:1-13 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 |On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3 |You shall place the ark of the testimony there, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

4 |You shall bring in the table and arrange what belongs on it; and you shall bring in the lampstand and mount its lamps.

5 |Moreover, you shall set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the veil for the doorway to the tabernacle.

6 |You shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7 |You shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it.

8 |You shall set up the court all around and hang up the veil for the gateway of the court.

9 |Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall consecrate it and all its furnishings; and it shall be holy.

10 |You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.

11 |You shall anoint the laver and its stand, and consecrate it.

12 |Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

13 |You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me.
