Chapître 40

1

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

2

On the first day of the first month ²³²⁰ shalt thou set up⁵⁵ the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

3

And thou shalt put¹ therein the ark of the testimony, and cover¹ the ark with the vail.

4

And thou shalt bring in⁵² the table, and set in order¹ the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in⁵² the candlestick, and light⁵² the lamps thereof.

5

And thou shalt set¹ the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put¹ the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

6

And thou shalt set¹ the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

7

And thou shalt set¹ the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put¹ water therein.

8

And thou shalt set up¹ the court round about, and hang up¹ the hanging at the court gate.

9

And thou shalt take¹ the anointing oil, and anoint¹ the tabernacle, and all that [is] therein, and shalt hallow¹⁴ it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

10

And thou shalt anoint¹ the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify¹⁴ the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

11

And thou shalt anoint¹ the laver and his foot, and sanctify¹⁴ it.

12

And thou shalt bring⁵² Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash¹ them with water.

13

And thou shalt put⁵² upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint¹ him, and sanctify¹⁴ him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.¹⁴

14

And thou shalt bring⁵⁵ his sons, and clothe⁵² them with coats:

15

And thou shalt anoint¹ them, as thou didst anoint¹ their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office:¹⁴ for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

16

Thus did⁴ Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded¹⁴ him, so did¹ he.

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.⁹⁰

18

And Moses reared up⁵⁵ the tabernacle, and fastened⁴ his sockets, and set up⁴ the boards thereof, and put⁴ in the bars thereof, and reared up⁵⁵ his pillars.

19

And he spread abroad⁴ the tent over the tabernacle, and put⁴ the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

20

And he took⁴ and put⁴ the testimony into the ark, and set⁴ the staves on the ark, and put⁴ the mercy seat above upon the ark:

21

And he brought⁵⁵ the ark into the tabernacle, and set up⁴ the vail of the covering, and covered⁵⁵ the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

22

And he put⁴ the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

23

And he set the bread in order⁴ upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded¹⁴ Moses.

24

And he put⁴ the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

25

And he lighted⁵⁵ the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

26

And he put⁴ the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

27

And he burnt⁵⁵ sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

28

And he set up⁴ the hanging [at] the door of the tabernacle.

29

And he put¹ the altar of burnt offering [by] the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered⁵⁵ upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

30

And he set⁴ the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put⁴ water there, to wash² [withal].

31

And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed¹ their hands and their feet thereat:

32

When they went² into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near² unto the altar, they washed;⁴ as the LORD commanded¹⁴ Moses.

33

And he reared up⁵⁵ the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set⁴ up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished¹⁷ the work.

34

Then a cloud covered¹⁷ the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled¹ the tabernacle.

35

And Moses was not able¹ to enter² into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode¹ thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled¹ the tabernacle.

36

And when the cloud was taken up⁹ from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward⁴ in all their journeys:

37

But if the cloud were not taken up,¹¹ then they journeyed⁴ not till the day that it was taken up.⁹

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.
