Exodus 40:1-7 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “On the first day of the first month (Abib) you shall set up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting [of God with you].

3 You shall place the ark of the Testimony there, and you shall screen off the ark [from the Holy Place of God’s Presence] with the veil (partition curtain).

4 You shall bring in the table [for the bread] and arrange its setting; you shall bring in the lampstand and mount and light its lamps.

5 You shall set the golden altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony [outside the veil], and put the [hanging] veil at the doorway of the tabernacle.

6 You shall set the [bronze] altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

7 You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar [of burnt offering], and put water in it.
