(Acts 7:44–47; Hebrews 9:1–10)

Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

In the first day of the first moneth in the very first of the same moneth shalt thou set vp the Tabernacle, called ye Tabernacle of the Congregation:

And thou shalt put therein the Arke of the Testimonie, and couer the Arke with the vaile.

Also thou shalt bring in the Table, and set it in order as it doth require: thou shalt also bring in the Candlesticke, and light his lampes,

And thou shalt set ye incense Altar of gold before the Arke of the Testimonie, and put the hanging at the doore of the Tabernacle.

Moreouer, thou shalt set the burnt offering Altar before the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

And thou shalt set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and put water therein.

Then thou shalt appoynt the courte round about, and hang vp the hanging at the courte gate.

After, thou shalt take the anoynting oyle, and anoynt the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and halowe it with all the instruments thereof, that it may be holy.

And thou shalt anoynt the Altar of the burnt offring, and all his instruments, and shalt sanctifie the Altar, that it may bee an altar most holie.

Also thou shalt anoynt the Lauer, and his foote, and shalt sanctifie it.

Then thou shalt bring Aaron and his sonnes vnto the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and wash them with water.

And thou shalt put vpon Aaron the holy garmentes, and shalt anoynt him, and sanctifie him, that he may minister vnto me in the Priestes office.

Thou shalt also bring his sonnes, and clothe them with garments,

And shalt anoynt them as thou diddest anoynt their father, that they may minister vnto mee in the Priestes office: for their anoynting shall be a signe, that the Priesthood shall be euerlasting vnto them throughout their generations.

So Moses did according to all that ye Lord had commanded him: so did he.

Thus was the Tabernacle reared vp the first day of the first moneth in the seconde yeere.

Then Moses reared vp the Tabernacle and fastened his sockets, and set vp the boardes thereof, and put in the barres of it, and reared vp his pillars.

And he spred the couering ouer the Tabernacle, and put the couering of that couering on hie aboue it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And he tooke and put the Testimonie in the Arke, and put the barres in the ringes of the Arke, and set the Merciseate on hie vpon the Arke.

He brought also the Arke into the Tabernacle, and hanged vp the couering vaile, and couered the Arke of the Testimonie, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregation in the Northside of the Tabernacle, without the vaile,

And set the bread in order before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Also he put the Candlesticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, ouer against the Table toward ye Southside of the Tabernacle.

And he lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Moreouer he set the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the vayle,

And burnt sweete incense thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Also he hanged vp the vayle at the doore of the Tabernacle.

After, he set the burnt offring Altar without the doore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and offered the burnt offering and the sacrifice thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Likewise he set the Lauer betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and powred water therein to wash with.

So Moses and Aaron, and his sonnes washed their handes and their feete thereat.

When they went into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and when they approched to the Altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Finally, he reared vp the court rounde about the Tabernacle and the Altar, and hanged vp the vaile at the court gate: so Moses finished the worke.

The Cloud and the Glory

(Numbers 9:15–23)

Then the cloud couered the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

So Moses could not enter into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, because the cloude abode thereon, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

Nowe when the cloude ascended vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward in all their iourneyes.

But if the cloude ascended not, then they iourneyed not till the day that it ascended.

For the cloude of the Lord was vpon the Tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their iourneyes.

(Acts 7:44–47; Hebrews 9:1–10)

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

You shall put the ark of the covenant in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lamp stand, and light its lamps.

You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

“You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.

You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

“You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture, and it will be holy.

You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.

You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.

“You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.

You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.

You shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them.

You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”

Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.

In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.

Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.

He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the covenant, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.

He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;

and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.

He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.

Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.

When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.

The Cloud and the Glory

(Numbers 9:15–23)

Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.

Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.

When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;

but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up.

For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
