And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying:

In the first month, on the first of the month, you shall erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

And you shall place there the Ark of the Testimony and cover the Ark with the veil.

And you shall bring the Table and arrange its arrangement, and you shall bring the Lampstand and raise its lamps.

And you shall place the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the Testimony and place the screen of the entrance to the tabernacle.

And you shall place the altar of burnt offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

And you shall place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you shall place water there.

And you shall place the courtyard all around and place the screen of the gate of the courtyard.

And you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and you shall consecrate it and all its vessels, and it shall be holy.

And you shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels, and you shall consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.

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

And you shall bring Aharon and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting, and you shall wash them with water.

And you shall clothe Aharon with the holy garments, and you shall anoint him and consecrate him, and he shall minister to me.

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

And you shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, and they shall minister to me, and their anointing shall be for them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

And Mosheh did according to all that יהוה commanded him; so he did.

And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

And Mosheh erected the tabernacle, and he set its bases, and he placed its planks, and he put in its bars, and he set up its pillars.

And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and he put the covering of the tent over it from above, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

And he took and put the Testimony into the Ark, and he placed the poles on the Ark, and he put the cover on the Ark from above.

And he brought the Ark into the tabernacle, and he placed the veil of the screen, and he screened the Ark of the Testimony, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

And he placed the Table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle, northward, outside the veil.

And he arranged on it the arrangement of bread before יהוה, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

And he placed the Lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the Table, on the side of the tabernacle, southward.

And he raised the lamps before יהוה, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

And he placed the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.

And he burned incense on it, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

And he placed the screen of the entrance to the tabernacle.

And the altar of burnt offering he placed at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and he offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

And he placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and he put water there for washing.

And Mosheh and Aharon and his sons washed their hands and their feet from it.

When they went into the tent of meeting and when they came near the altar, they washed, as יהוה commanded Mosheh.

And he erected the courtyard all around the tabernacle and the altar, and he placed the screen of the gate of the courtyard, and Mosheh finished the work.

And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of יהוה filled the tabernacle.

And Mosheh could not enter the tent of meeting, because the cloud dwelt on it, and the glory of יהוה filled the tabernacle.

And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, the sons of Yisra'el journeyed onward in all their journeys.

But if the cloud was not taken up, they did not journey until the day it was taken up.

For the cloud of יהוה was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Yisra'el, in all their journeys.
