Exodus 40

1Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2In the first day of the first moneth in the very first of the same moneth shalt thou set vp the Tabernacle, called ye Tabernacle of the Congregation:

3And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the vaile.

4Also thou shalt bring in the Table, and set it in order as it doth require: thou shalt also bring in the Candlesticke, and light his lampes,

5And thou shalt set ye incense Altar of gold before the Arke of the Testimonie, and put the hanging at the doore of the Tabernacle.

6Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

7And thou shalt set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.

8Then thou shalt appoynt the courte round about, and hang vp the hanging at the courte gate.

9After, thou shalt take the anoynting oyle, and anoynt the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and halowe it with all the instruments thereof, that it may be holy.

10And thou shalt anoynt the Altar of the burnt offring, and all his instruments, and shalt sanctifie the Altar, that it may bee an altar most holie.

11Also thou shalt anoynt the Lauer, and his foote, and shalt sanctifie it.

12Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.

13And thou shalt put vpon Aaron the holy garmentes, and shalt anoynt him, and sanctifie him, that he may minister vnto me in the Priestes office.

14Thou shalt also bring his sonnes, and clothe them with garments,

15And shalt anoynt them as thou diddest anoynt their father, that they may minister vnto mee in the Priestes office: for their anoynting shall be a signe, that the Priesthood shall be euerlasting vnto them throughout their generations.

16So Moses did according to all that ye Lord had commanded him: so did he.

17Thus was the Tabernacle reared vp the first day of the first moneth in the seconde yeere.

18Then Moses reared vp the Tabernacle and fastened his sockets, and set vp the boardes thereof, and put in the barres of it, and reared vp his pillars.

19And he spred the couering ouer the Tabernacle, and put the couering of that couering on hie aboue it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

20And he tooke and put the Testimonie in the Arke, and put the barres in the ringes of the Arke, and set the Merciseate on hie vpon the Arke.

21He brought also the Arke into the Tabernacle, and hanged vp the couering vaile, and couered the Arke of the Testimonie, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the Northside of the Tabernacle, without the vaile,

23And set the bread in order before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

24Also he put the Candlesticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, ouer against the Table toward ye Southside of the Tabernacle.

25And he lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

26Moreouer he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the vayle,

27And burnt sweete incense thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

28Also he hanged vp the vayle at the doore of the Tabernacle.

29After, he set the burnt offring Altar without the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30Likewise he set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and powred water therein to wash with.

31So Moses and Aaron, and his sonnes washed their handes and their feete thereat.

32When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approched to the Altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

33Finally, he reared vp the court rounde about the Tabernacle and the Altar, and hanged vp the vaile at the court gate: so Moses finished the worke.

34Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

35So Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, because the cloude abode thereon, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

36Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes.

37But if the cloude ascended not, then they iourneyed not till the day that it ascended.

38For the cloude of the Lord was vpon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their iourneyes.
