Exodus 40

The Tabernacle Erected

1Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2“1On the firstH7223 dayH3117 of the firstH259 monthH2320 you shall setH6965 upH6965 the 2tabernacleH4908 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 33You shall placeH7760 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715 thereH8033, and you shall screenH5526 offH5526 the arkH727 with the veilH6532. 4Then you shall 4bringH935 inH935 the tableH7979 and 5arrangeH6186 6whatH6187 belongsH6187 on it; and you shall 7bringH935 inH935 the lampstandH4501 and 8mountH5927 its lampsH5216. 5You shall also 9setH5414 the goldH2091 altarH4196 of incenseH7004 in frontH6440 of the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, and setH7760 upH7760 the curtainH4539 for the doorwayH6607 to the tabernacleH4908. 6And you shall setH5414 the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930 in frontH6440 of the doorwayH6607 of the tabernacleH4908 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 7Then you shall 10setH5414 the basinH3595 betweenH996 the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and the altarH4196, and putH5414 waterH4325 11in it. 8You shall also setH7760 upH7760 the courtyardH2691 allH5439 aroundH5439 and 12hangH5414 upH5414 the curtainH4539 for the gateH8179 of the courtyardH2691. 9Then you shall takeH3947 the anointingH4888 oilH8081 and 13anointH4886 the tabernacleH4908 and everythingH3605 that is in it, and consecrateH6942 it and allH3605 its 14furnishingsH3627; and it shall be holyH6944. 10You shall also anointH4886 the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930 and allH3605 its utensilsH3627, and consecrateH6942 the altarH4196, and 15the altarH4196 shall be mostH6944 holyH6944. 11And you shall anointH4886 the basinH3595 and its standH3653, and consecrateH6942 it. 12Then you shall 16bringH7126 AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 to the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and washH7364 them with waterH4325. 13And 17you shall putH3847 the holyH6944 garmentsH899 onH3847 AaronH175 and anointH4886 him and consecrateH6942 him, so that he may serveH3547 asH3547 aH3547 priestH3547 to Me. 14You shall also bringH7126 his sonsH1121 and putH3847 tunicsH3801 onH3847 them; 15and you shall anointH4886 them justH3512 asH3512 you have anointedH4886 their fatherH1, so that they may serveH3547 asH3547 priestsH3547 to Me; and their anointingH4888 will 18qualifyH1961 them for a 19permanentH5769 priesthoodH3550 throughout their generationsH1755.” 16So MosesH4872 didH6213 these things; according to allH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 him, soH3651 he didH6213.

17Now 20in the firstH7223 monthH2320 21of the secondH8145 yearH8141, on the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, the 22tabernacleH4908 was erectedH6965. 18MosesH4872 erectedH6965 the tabernacleH4908 and 23laidH5414 its basesH134, and setH7760 upH7760 its boardsH7175, and 24insertedH5414 its barsH1280, and erectedH6965 its pillarsH5982. 19And he spreadH6566 the tentH168 overH5921 the tabernacleH4908 and putH7760 the coveringH4372 of the tentH168 25on topH4605 of it, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 20Then he tookH3947 26the testimonyH5715 and putH5414 it into the arkH727, and 27attachedH7760 the polesH905 to the arkH727, and putH5414 the 28atoningH3727 coverH3727 29on topH4605 of the arkH727. 21He then broughtH935 the arkH727 into the tabernacleH4908, and 30setH7760 upH7760 a veilH6532 for the coveringH4539, and screenedH5526 offH5526 the arkH727 of the testimonyH5715, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 22He also 31putH5414 the tableH7979 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 on the northH6828 sideH3409 of the tabernacleH4908, outsideH4480H2351 the veilH6532. 23And he setH6186 the arrangementH6187 of 32breadH3899 inH6186 orderH6186 on it beforeH6440 the LordH3068, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 24Then he placedH7760 the lampstandH4501 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150, oppositeH5227 the tableH7979, on the southH5045 sideH3409 of the tabernacleH4908. 25And he 33lightedH5927 the lampsH5216 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 26Then he 34placedH7760 the goldH2091 altarH4196 in the tentH168 of meetingH4150 in frontH6440 of the veilH6532; 27and he 35burnedH6999 fragrantH5561 incenseH7004 on it, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 28Then he setH7760 upH7760 the curtainH4539 for the doorwayH6607 of the tabernacleH4908. 29And he 36setH7760 the altarH4196 of burntH5930 offeringH5930 in front of the doorwayH6607 of the tabernacleH4908 of the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and 37offeredH5927 on it the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the mealH4503 offeringH4503, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 30He placedH7760 the basinH3595 betweenH996 the tentH168 of meetingH4150 and the altarH4196, and putH5414 waterH4325 in it for washingH7364. 3138From it MosesH4872 and AaronH175 and his sonsH1121 washedH7364 their handsH3027 and their feetH7272. 32When they enteredH935 the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and when they approachedH7126 the altarH4196, they washedH7364, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872. 33And he 39erectedH6965 the courtyardH2691 allH5439 aroundH5439 the 40tabernacleH4908 and the altarH4196, and 41hungH5414 upH5414 the curtainH4539 for the gateH8179 of the courtyardH2691. So MosesH4872 finishedH3615 the workH4399.

The Glory of the Lord

3442Then the cloudH6051 coveredH3680 the tentH168 of meetingH4150, and the 43gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 filledH4390 the tabernacleH4908. 35And MosesH4872 44wasH3201 not ableH3201 to enterH935 the tentH168 of meetingH4150 becauseH3588 the cloudH6051 had settledH7931 on it, and the gloryH3519 of the LordH3068 filledH4390 the tabernacleH4908. 36ThroughoutH3605 their journeysH4550, 45whenever the cloudH6051 was takenH5927 upH5927 from overH5921 the tabernacleH4908, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 would setH5265 outH5265; 37but 46ifH518 the cloudH6051 was not takenH5927 upH5927, then they did not setH5265 outH5265 untilH5704 the dayH3117 when it was takenH5927 upH5927. 38For throughoutH3605 their journeysH4550, 47the cloudH6051 of the LordH3068 was on the tabernacleH4908 by dayH3119, and there was fireH784 in it by nightH3915, in the sightH5869 of allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
