Chapter 40
- 40:1
- And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
- 40:2
- On the
first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the
tent of the congregation.
- 40:3
- And thou
shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the
vail.
- 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 candlestick, and
light the lamps thereof.
- 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 therein.
- 40:8
- And thou
shalt set up the court round about, 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 therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it
shall be holy.
- 40:10
- And thou
shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and
sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
- 40:11
- And thou
shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
- 40:12
- And thou
shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto 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 unto 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 unto 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 his sockets, and set up the
boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his
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 staves 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 vail 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, without the vail.
- 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 candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against 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 vail:
- 40:27
- And he
burnt sweet incense thereon; 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 withal.
- 40:31
- And Moses
and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
- 40:32
- When they
went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto
the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
- 40:33
- And he
reared up the court round about 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 thereon, 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 were 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.
