The Tabernacle Erected

1The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“On the afirst day of the first month you shall berect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 3And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall cscreen the ark with the veil. 4And dyou shall bring in the table and arrange it, and eyou shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps. 5 fAnd you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle. 6 gYou shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, 7 hand place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. 8And you shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.

9“Then you shall take the ianointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it may become holy. 10You shall also anoint jthe altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, kso that the altar may become most holy. 11You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it. 12 lThen you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water 13and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest. 14You shall bring his sons also and put coats on them, 15 mand anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a nperpetual priesthood throughout their generations.”

16This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.
