And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the Lord commanded Moses.

20

And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

21

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the Lord commanded Moses.

22

And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

23

And he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

24

And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

25

And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.

26

27

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

28

And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

29

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 the Lord commanded Moses.

30

And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

31

And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

32

When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the Lord commanded Moses.

33

And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

34

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35

And 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.

36

And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

37

But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

38

For the cloud of the Lord 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.

    “When Moses set up the tabernacle and put its bases in place, he set up its frames, attached its bars, and set up its posts. Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the LORD had commanded Moses. He took the testimony and put it in the ark, attached the poles to the ark, and then put the atonement lid on the ark. And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, hung the protecting curtain, and shielded the ark of the testimony from view, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain. And he set the bread in order on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle. Then he set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. And he put the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain, and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. Then he put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle. He also put the altar for the burnt offering by the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. Then he put the large basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing. Moses and Aaron and his sons would wash their hands and their feet from it. Whenever they entered the tent of meeting, and whenever they approached the altar, they would wash, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. And he set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and put the curtain at the gate of the courtyard. So Moses finished the work. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. But when the cloud was lifted up from the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out on all their journeys; but if the cloud was not lifted up, then they would not journey further until the day it was lifted up. For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, but fire would be on it at night, in plain view of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.”
