Exodus 40

¹And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

²On the first day of the first moneth shalt thou set vp the Tabernacle of the Tent of the Congregation.

³And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the Uaile:

⁴And thou shalt bring in the Table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order vpon it, and thou shalt bring in the Candlesticke, and light the lampes thereof.

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

⁶And thou shalt set the Altar of the burnt offering, before the doore of the Tabernacle of the Tent of the Congregation.

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

⁸And thou shalt set vp the Court round about, and hang vp the hanging at the Court gate.

⁹And thou shalt take the annoynting oyle, and annoynt the Tabernacle and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shalbe holy.

¹⁰Aud thou shalt annoynt the Altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctifie the Altar: and it shalbe an Altar most Holy.

¹¹And thou shalt annoynt the Lauer and his foot, and sanctifie it.

¹²And 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 garments, and anoynt him, and sanctifie him, that he may minister vnto me in the Priests office.

¹⁴And thou shalt bring his sonnes, and clothe them with coats.

¹⁵And thou shalt anoynt them, as thou didst anoynt their father, that they may minister vnto mee in the Priests office: For their anoynting shall surely be an euerlasting Priesthood, throughout their generations.

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

¹⁷And it came to passe in the first moneth, in the second yeere, on the first day of the moneth, that the Tabernacle was reared vp.

¹⁸And Moses reared vp the Tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set vp the boards thereof, and put in the barres thereof, and reared vp his pillars.

¹⁹And he spread abroad the tent ouer the Tabernacle, and put the couering of the Tent aboue vpon it, as the Lord commanded Moses.

²⁰And he tooke and put the testimony into the Arke, and set the staues on the Arke, and put the Mercie-seat aboue vpon the Arke.

²¹And he brought the Arke into the Tabernacle, and set vp the Uaile of the couering, and couered the Arke of the Testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.

²²And hee put the Table in the Tent of the Congregation, vpon the side of the Tabernacle Northwaed, without the Uaile.

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

²⁴And he put the candlesticke in the Tent of the Congregation, ouer against the Table, on the side of the Tabernacle Southward.

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

²⁶And he put the golden Altar in the Tent of the Congregation, before the Uaile.

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

²⁸And hee set vp the hanging, at the doore of the Tabernacle.

²⁹And he put the Altar of burnt offering by the doore of the Tabernacle of the Tent of the Congregation, and offered vpon it the burnt offering, and the meat offring, as the Lord commanded Moses.

³⁰And he set the Lauer betweene the Tent of the Congregation and the Altar, & put water there, to wash withall.

³¹And Moses, and Aaron and his sonnes, washed their hands, and their feet thereat.

³²When they went into the Tent of the Congregation, and when they came neere vnto the Altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses.

³³And hee reared vp the Court round about the Tabernacle, and the Altar, & set vp the hanging of the Court gate: so Moses finished the worke.

³⁴Then a cloud couered the Tent of the Congregation, and the glory of the Lord 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.

³⁶And when the cloud was taken vp from ouer the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their iourneys:

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

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