Exodus 40:2-17

2“On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and partition off the ark with the veil.

4You shall bring in the table and arrange the things that are to be set in order on it; and you shall bring in the lampstand and light its lamps.

5You shall also set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the Testimony, and put up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

6Then you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7And you shall set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

8You shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen at the court gate.

9“And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.

10You shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar. The altar shall be most holy.

11And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and consecrate it.

12“Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water.

13You shall put the holy garments on Aaron, and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.

14And you shall bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

15You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to Me as priests; for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”

16Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

17And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.
