Exodus 40:20-38 ▼

20 And he takes and puts the Testimony into the Ark, and sets the poles on the Ark, and puts the propitiatory covering on the Ark above;

21 and brings the Ark into the Dwelling Place, and places the veil of the covering, and covers over the Ark of the Testimony, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

22 And he puts the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the Dwelling Place northward, at the outside of the veil,

23 and sets in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

24 And he puts the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the Dwelling Place southward,

25 and causes the lamps to go up before YHWH, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

26 And he sets the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting, before the veil,

27 and makes incense on it—spice-incense—as YHWH has commanded Moses.

28 And he sets the covering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place,

29 and he has set the altar of the burnt-offering [at] the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and causes the burnt-offering to go up on it, and the present, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

30 And he puts the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and puts water [in] there for washing,

31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;

32 in their going into the Tent of Meeting, and in their drawing near to the altar, they wash, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

33 And he raises up the court all around the Dwelling Place, and around the altar, and places the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completes the work.

34 And the cloud covers the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place;

35 and Moses has not been able to go into the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud has dwelt on it, and the glory of YHWH has filled the Dwelling Place.

36 And in the going up of the cloud from off the Dwelling Place the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;

37 and if the cloud does not go up then they do not journey, until the day of its going up.

38 For the cloud of YHWH [is] on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
