Exodus 40

1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

1And the Lord said to Moses,

1And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

2On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

2On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.

2On the first day of the first month shalt thou rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

3And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

3And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.

3And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and thou shalt screen the ark with the veil.

4And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

4And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

4And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.

5And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.

5And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

5And thou shalt set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

6And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

6And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

6And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

7And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

7And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

8And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

8And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.

8And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

9And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.

9And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:

9And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the furniture thereof: and it shall be holy.

10And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.

10And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

11And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.

11And put oil on the washing-vessel and its base, and make them holy.

11And thou shalt anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it.

12And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.

12Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,

12And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tent of meeting, and shalt wash them with water.

13And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

13You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.

13And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments; and thou shalt anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.

14And take his sons with him and put coats on them;

14And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them;

15And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

15And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

15and thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

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

16And Moses did this; as the Lord gave him orders, so he did.

16Thus did Moses: according to all that Jehovah commanded him, so did he.

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

17So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

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

18And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

18Moses put up the House; placing its bases in position and lifting up its uprights, putting in the rods and planting the pillars in their places;

18And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars.

19And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the Lord commanded Moses.

19Stretching the outer tent over it, and covering it, as the Lord had given him orders.

19And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

20And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

20And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it;

20And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark:

21And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the Lord commanded Moses.

21And he took the ark into the House, hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.

21and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

22And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

22And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil.

22And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil.

23And he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

23And he put the bread on it in order before the Lord, as the Lord had said.

23And he set the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

24And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

24The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

24And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

25And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.

25Lighting the lights before the Lord, as the Lord had given him orders.

25And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

26And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

26And he put the gold altar in the Tent of meeting, in front of the veil:

26And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil:

27And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the Lord commanded Moses.

27Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

27and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

28And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

28And he put up the curtain at the doorway of the House.

28And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

29And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the Lord commanded Moses.

29And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

29And he set the altar of burnt-offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

30And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

30And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

30And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith to wash.

31And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

31In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,

31And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat;

32When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses.

32Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

32when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

33And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

33And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.

33And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

34Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

34Then the cloud came down covering the Tent of meeting, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord;

34Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

35And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35So that Moses was not able to go into the Tent of meeting, because the cloud was resting on it, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord.

35And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.

36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

36And whenever the cloud was taken up from the House, the children of Israel went forward on their journey:

36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys:

37But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

37But while the cloud was there, they made no move till it was taken up.

37but if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

38For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

38For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.

38For the cloud of Jehovah was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
