Exo 40:3And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.

Exo 40:5

Exo 40:5And 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.

Exo 40:6

Exo 40:6And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

Exo 40:7

Exo 40:7And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

Exo 40:8

Exo 40:8And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.

Exo 40:14

Exo 40:14And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

Exo 40:15

Exo 40:15And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

Exo 40:16

Exo 40:16Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.

Exo 40:17

Exo 40:17And 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.

Exo 40:18

Exo 40:18And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

Exo 40:19

Exo 40:19And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exo 40:20

Exo 40:20And 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:

Exo 40:21

Exo 40:21And 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.

Exo 40:22

Exo 40:22And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

Exo 40:23

Exo 40:23And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:24

Exo 40:24And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

Exo 40:25

Exo 40:25And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exo 40:30

Exo 40:30And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

Exo 40:31

Exo 40:31And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:

Exo 40:32

Exo 40:32When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Exo 40:33

Exo 40:33And 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.

The Glory of the LORD

(Exo 13:21, 22; Num 9:15–23 )

Exo 40:34

Exo 40:34Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

Exo 40:35

Exo 40:35And 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.

Exo 40:36

Exo 40:36And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:

Exo 40:37

Exo 40:37But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

Exo 40:38

Exo 40:38For 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.
