1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “On the first day of the month, in the first month, you will raise up the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, 3 and set the Ark of the Testimony in there, and will cover over the Ark with the veil, 4 and will bring in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and will bring in the lampstand, and caused its lamps to go up. 5 And you will put the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the Testimony, and will put the covering of the opening to the Dwelling Place, 6 and will put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, 7 and will put the laver between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and will put water in there. 8 And you will set the court all around, and place the covering of the gate of the court, 9 and will take the anointing oil, and anoint the Dwelling Place, and all that is in it, and hallow it, and all its vessels, and it will be holy. 10 And you will anoint the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy. 11 And you will anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it. 12 And you will bring Aaron and his sons near to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and will bathe them with water. 13 And you will clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him, and he will act as priest to Me. 14 And you wll bring his sons near, and clothe them with coats, 15 and anoint them as you have anointed their father, and they will act as priests to Me, and their anointing will be to them for a continuous priesthood throughout their generations.” 16 And Moses did according to all that YHWH had commanded him. So he had done. 17 And it came to pass, in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, the Dwelling Place had been raised up. 18 And Moses raised up the Dwelling Place, and set its sockets, and placed its boards, and placed its bars, and raised its pillars, 19 and spread the tent over the Dwelling Place, and put the covering of the tent on it above, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 20 And he took and put the Testimony into the Ark, and set the poles on the Ark, and put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above. 21 And brought the Ark into the Dwelling Place, and placed the veil of the covering, and covered over the Ark of the Testimony, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 22 And he put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the Dwelling Place northward, at the outside of the veil, 23 and set in order the arrangement of bread on it, before YHWH, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 24 And he put 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 had commanded Moses. 26 And he set the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting, before the veil, 27 and made incense on it—spice-incense—as YHWH had commanded Moses. 28 And he set the covering at the opening of the Dwelling Place, 29 and he 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 had commanded Moses. 30 And he put 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 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 washed, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 33 And he raised up the court all around the Dwelling Place, and around the altar, and placed the covering of the gate of the court. And Moses completed the work. 34 And the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of YHWH filled the Dwelling Place. 35 And Moses had not been able to go into the Tent of Meeting, for the cloud had stayed on it, and the glory of YHWH had filled the Dwelling Place. 36 And in the going up of the cloud from off the Dwelling Place the sons of Israel journeyed in all their journeys. 37 And if the cloud did not go up then they did not journey, until the day of its going up. 38 For the cloud of YHWH was on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
