Exodus 40 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[2] “On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
[3] You shall put the ark of the covenant in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
[4] You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lamp stand, and light its lamps.
[5] You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
[6] “You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
[7] You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.
[8] You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
[9] “You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture, and it will be holy.
[10] You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.
[11] You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
[12] “You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
[13] You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
[14] You shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them.
[15] You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”
[16] Moses did so. According to all that Yahweh commanded him, so he did.
[17] In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.
[18] Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
[19] He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[20] He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
[21] He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the covenant, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[22] He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.
[23] He set the bread in order on it before Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[24] He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
[25] He lit the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[26] He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;
[27] and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[28] He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
[29] He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[30] He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.
[31] Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
[32] When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
[33] He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
[34] Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.
[35] Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.
[36] When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
[37] but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up.
[38] For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

Young’s Literal Translation

Exodus 40 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[2] ‘On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
[3] and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,
[4] and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.
[5] ‘And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
[6] and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
[7] and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.
[8] ‘And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,
[9] and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;
[10] and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;
[11] and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
[12] ‘And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;
[13] and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.
[14] ‘And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,
[15] and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.’
[16] And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
[17] And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;
[18] and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars,
[19] and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[20] And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;
[21] and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[22] And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,
[23] and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[24] And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,
[25] and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[26] And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,
[27] and maketh perfume on it-spice-perfume-as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[28] And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
[29] and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[30] And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water 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 in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
[33] And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.
[34] And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;
[35] and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.
[36] And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;
[37] and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:
[38] for the cloud of Jehovah is on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
