| 40:3 | And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the veil. |
| 40:4 | And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the lampstand, and light its lamps. |
| 40:5 | And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle. |
| 40:6 | And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. |
| 40:7 | And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water in it. |
| 40:8 | And thou shalt set up the court all around, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. |
| 40:9 | And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its vessels: and it shall be holy. |
| 40:10 | And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy. |
| 40:11 | And thou shalt anoint the laver and its foot, and sanctify it. |
| 40:12 | And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. |
| 40:13 | And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister to me in the priest's office. |
| 40:14 | And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: |
| 40:15 | And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. |
| 40:16 | Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he. |
| 40:17 | And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] the tabernacle was reared up. |
| 40:18 | And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and reared up its pillars. |
| 40:19 | And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 40:20 | And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staffs on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: |
| 40:21 | And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 40:22 | And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil. |
| 40:23 | And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 40:24 | And he put the lampstand in the tent of the congregation, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. |
| 40:25 | And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 40:26 | And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the veil: |
| 40:27 | And he burnt sweet incense on it; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 40:28 | And he set up the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle. |
| 40:29 | And he put the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 40:30 | And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash [with]. |
| 40:31 | And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet from it: |
| 40:32 | When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near to the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 40:33 | And he reared up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work. |
| 40:34 | Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. |
| 40:35 | And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. |
| 40:36 | And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: |
| 40:37 | But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. |
| 40:38 | For the cloud of the LORD [was] upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. |
