Exodus 40:2-17

2“1On the first day of the first month you shall set up the 2tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 33You shall place the ark of the testimony there, and you shall screen the ark with the veil. 4You shall 4bring in the table and 56arrange what belongs on it; and you shall 7bring in the lampstand and 8mount its lamps. 5Moreover, you shall 9set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the veil for the doorway to the tabernacle. 6You shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 7You shall 10set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water 11in it. 8You shall set up the court all around and 12hang up the veil for the gateway of the court. 9Then you shall take the anointing oil and 13anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall consecrate it and all its 14furnishings; and it shall be holy. 10You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and 15the altar shall be most holy. 11You shall anoint the laver and its stand, and consecrate it. 12Then you shall 16bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the tent of meeting and wash them with water. 1317You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me. 14You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them; 15and you shall anoint them even as you have anointed their father, that they may minister as priests to Me; and their anointing will 18qualify them for a 19perpetual priesthood throughout their generations.” 16Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

17Now 20in the first month 21of the second year, on the first day of the month, the 22tabernacle was erected.
