Shemoth (Exodus) 40

Exod 40:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 40:2 “On the first day of the first month, you are to raise up the
Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,
Exod 40:3 and shall put in it the ark of the Witness, and screen the ark with
the veil.
Exod 40:4 “And you shall bring in the table and arrange what belongs on it,
and bring in the lampstand and light its lamps.
Exod 40:5 “And you shall set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark
of the Witness, and put up the covering of the door to the Dwelling Place.
Exod 40:6 “And you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door
of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting,
Exod 40:7 and shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar,
and shall put water therein.
Exod 40:8 “And you shall set up the courtyard all around, and shall place
the covering of the courtyard gate,
Exod 40:9 and shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the Dwelling Place
and all that is in it, and shall set it and all its utensils apart, and it shall be
set-apart.
Exod 40:10 “And you shall anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its
utensils, and set the altar apart, and the altar shall be most set-apart.
Exod 40:11 “And you shall anoint the basin and its stand, and set it apart.
Exod 40:12 “And you shall bring Aharon and his sons to the door of the Tent
of Meeting and wash them with water.
Exod 40:13 “And you shall put the set-apart garments on Aharon, and anoint
him and set him apart to serve as priest to Me.
Exod 40:14 “And you shall bring his sons and put long shirts on them,
Exod 40:15 and shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, and they shall
serve as priests to Me. And their anointing shall be for them an everlasting
priesthood throughout their generations.”
Exod 40:16 And Mosheh did according to all that יהוה had commanded him,
so he did.
Exod 40:17 And it came to be in the first month of the second year, on the
first day of the month, that the Dwelling Place was raised up.
Exod 40:18 And Mosheh raised up the Dwelling Place and placed its
sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its columns,
Exod 40:19 and spread the tent over the Dwelling Place and put the covering
of the tent on top of it, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.
Exod 40:20 And he took the Witness and put it into the ark, and he put the
poles through the rings of the ark, and put the lid of atonement on top of the
ark,
Exod 40:21 and brought the ark into the Dwelling Place, and placed the veil
of the covering to screen off the ark of the Witness, as יהוה had commanded
Mosheh.
Exod 40:22 And he put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of
the Dwelling Place, outside the veil,
Exod 40:23 and set the bread in order upon it before יהוה, as יהוה had
commanded Mosheh.
Exod 40:24 And he put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the
table, on the south side of the Dwelling Place,
Exod 40:25 and lit the lamps before יהוה, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.
Exod 40:26 And he put the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting in front of the
veil,
Exod 40:27 and burned sweet incense on it, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.
Exod 40:28 And he set up the covering to the door of the Dwelling Place.
Exod 40:29 And he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the
Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering
and the grain offering, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.
Exod 40:30 And he put the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar,
and put water therein for washing.
Exod 40:31 And Mosheh, and Aharon, and his sons washed their hands and
their feet with water from it,
Exod 40:32 as they went into the Tent of Meeting, and as they came near the
altar. They would wash, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh.
Exod 40:33 And he raised up the courtyard all around the Dwelling Place
and the altar, and placed the covering of the courtyard gate. And Mosheh
completed the work.
Exod 40:34 And the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the esteem of
יהוה filled the Dwelling Place.
Exod 40:35 And Mosheh was not able to come into the Tent of Meeting,
because the cloud dwelt on it, and the esteem of יהוה filled the Dwelling
Place.
Exod 40:36 And when the cloud was taken up from above the Dwelling
Place, the children of Yisra’ĕl went onward in all their journeys.
Exod 40:37 But if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the
day that it was taken up.
Exod 40:38 For the cloud of יהוה was on the Dwelling Place by day, and fire
was on it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Yisra’ĕl, in all their
journeys.
