Exodus - ch 40 v 1 - 20
- And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
- The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,
- And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:
- And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with its lamps,
- And the altar of gold whereon the incense is burnt, before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle,
- And before it the altar of holocaust:
- The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.
- And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.
- And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:
- The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:
- The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.
- And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,
- Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood.
- And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
- So in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
- And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
- And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
- And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
- And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord.
- And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,
