Exodus 40:22-38 ▼

22 He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tent, outside the curtain,

23 and properly arranged the bread on it in the LORD's presence, just as the LORD had commanded him.

24 Then he put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tent,

25 and set up the lamps in the LORD's presence, just as the LORD had commanded him.

26 He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting in front of the curtain

27 and burned aromatic incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

28 He set up the screen for the doorway of the tent.

29 He put the altar for burnt offerings at the doorway of the tent of the Tent of Meeting, and offered the burnt offering and the grain offering on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.

30 He put the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.

31 Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet from it.

32 When they entered the Tent of Meeting and approached the altar, they washed, just as the LORD had commanded him.

33 He set up the court all around the tent and the altar, and hung up the screen for the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.

34 The cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tent.

35 Moses was not able to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tent.

36 Whenever the cloud was lifted up from the tent, the Israelis would set out on their journey,

37 but if the cloud was not lifted up, they would not set out until it was lifted up,

38 since the cloud of the LORD was over the tent by day, and the fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
