Exodus 40:8-29
English Standard Version
Chapter 40
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 anointing 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 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, so that the altar may become most holy.
11You shall also anoint the basin and its stand, and consecrate it.
12Then 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,
15and anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations."
16This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.
17In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.
18Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars.
19And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
20He took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark.
21And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,
23and arranged the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,
25and set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,
27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.
29And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
