1
And it came to pass that all the work of the Tabernaclea of the Tent of the Congregation was finished; and the congregation of Israel did according to all that YHVHb instructed Moses and Zipporah, so did they.
2
And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses: the tent, and all the furniture, the taches, the boards, the bars, and the pillars, and the sockets,
3
And the covering of the skins of rams dyed red, and the covering of the skins of the badgers, and the veil of the covering,
4
And the ark of the testimonya, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
5
And the table, and all the vessels thereof, and the showbread,
6
And the pure candlestick with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
7
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
8
And the brazen altar, and the grate of brass, the staves, and all the vessels, the laver, and the base,
9
And the hangings of the court, the pillars, and the sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, the cords, and the pins, and all the vessels of the service of the Tabernacle for the Tent of the Congregationa,
10
The clothes of service to do service in the Holy Placea, and the holy garments for Aaron, the Priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the office of Priest, and the holy garments for Miriam, the Priestess, and the garments of her daughters, the Priestesses.
11
And all this was according to all that YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah, so that Israel made all the work.
12
And Moses and Zipporah did look upon all the work; and behold, the people had done it even as YHVH had instructed, even so had they done it; and Moses and Zipporah blessed them.
13
¶ And it came to pass that YHVH spake unto Moses, saying: On the first day of the first montha shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
14
And thou shalt put therein the Ark of the Testimonya and cover the Ark with the veil.
15
And 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.
16
And 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.
17
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
18
And thou shalt set the lavera between the tent of the congregation and the altar and shalt put water therein.
19
And thou shalt set up the court round about and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
20
And 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.
21
And 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.
22
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot and sanctify it.
23
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them with water;
24
And Zipporah, thy wife, shalt bring Miriam and her daughters to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and wash them too with water.
25
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the office of Priest;
26
And Zipporah shall put upon Miriam the holy garments, and anoint her, and sanctify her, that she may minister unto me in the office of Priestess.
27
And thou, Moses, shalt bring the sons of Aaron and clothe them with their robes and garments, and Zipporah shall bring the daughters of Miriam and clothe them in their robes and garments;
28
And thou shalt anoint the sons as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the office of Priest, and Zipporah shall anoint the daughters as she didst anoint their mother;
29
And their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations,
30
But thou shall not anoint them nor shalt thou ordain them as thou and Zipporah, after the order of Enoch; but they that are worthy shall I send to onea in that generation that should ordain them.
31
And thus did Moses and Zipporah; according to all that YHVH commanded them, so did they.
32
¶ And 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.
33
And Moses reared up the Tabernacle, and fastened the sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up the pillars.
34
And they spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent above upon it, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah.
35
And they took and put the Book of Testimonya into the Ark, and set the staves on the Ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the Ark;
36
And they brought the Ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the covering, and covered the Ark of the Book of Testimony, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah.
37
And they put the table in the Tent of the Congregation, upon the side of the Tabernacle Northward, without the veil; and they set the bread in order upon it before YHVH, even as YHVH had commanded Moses and Zipporah.
38
And they put the candlestick in the Tent of the Congregation, over against the table on the side of the tabernacle Southward, and they lighted the lamps before YHVH, even as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah.
39
And they put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the veil; and Moses and Zipporah did burn sweet incense thereon, as YHVH instructed them.
40
And they set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle and 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 YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah.
41
And they set the basin between the Tent of the Congregation and the altar and put water there to washa withal.
42
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah, and Aaron and his sons, and Miriam and her daughters washed their hands and their feet thereat;
43
When they went into the Tent of the Congregation and when they came near unto the altar, they washed as YHVH instructed Moses and Zipporah.
44
And they reared up the court round about the Tabernacle and the altar and set up the hanging of the court gate.
45
And Moses and Zipporah finished the work.
46
¶ And it came to pass that a cloud covered the Tent of the Congregation, and the glory of YHVH filled the tabernacle.
47
And Moses and Zipporah were not able to enter into the Tent of the Congregation for the cloud abode thereon, and the Glory of YHVHa filled the Tabernacle.
48
And when the cloud was taken up from over the Tabernacle, the congregation of Israel went onward in all their journeys;
49
But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up;
50
For the cloud of YHVH 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.
