Exodus 40:1-8

1Then the Lord said to Moses,

2“Set up the tent (the tent of meeting) on the first day of the first month of the year.

3Place the ark containing the words of my promise inside it, and hang the canopy over the ark.

4Bring in the table, and arrange everything on it. Bring in the lamp stand, and set up the lamps.

5Put the gold altar for incense in front of the ark. Put up the screen at the entrance to the tent.

6“Put the altar for burnt offerings in front of the entrance to the tent of meeting.

7Put the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8Set up the surrounding courtyard, and put up the screen at the entrance to the courtyard.
