1Then the Lord said to Moses,

2‘On the first day of the first month, put up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

3Put the Covenant Box in the tabernacle and hide it behind the special curtain.

4Bring in the special table and put the dishes on it. Then bring in the lampstand. Fix its lamps on it.

5Put the gold altar for incense in front of the Covenant Box. Hang the curtain that will be at the entrance to the tabernacle.

6Put the altar for burnt offerings in front of the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

7Put the large bowl for water between the Tent of Meeting and the altar. Put water in the bowl.
