Exodus 40:1–16

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ²On the first day of the ^afirst month shalt thou ^bset up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. ³And thou shalt put therein the ark of the Testimony, and ^ccover the ark with the vail. ⁴And ^dthou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; ^eand thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. ^5fAnd 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. ^6gAnd thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. ⁷And ^hthou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein. ⁸And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. ⁹And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and ⁱanoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy. ¹⁰And thou shalt anoint ^kthe altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy. ¹¹And thou shalt anoint ^kthe laver and his foot, and sanctify it. ^12lAnd thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. ¹³And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, ^mand anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. ¹⁴And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: 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 ⁿan everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. ¹⁶Thus did Moses: according to all that the Lord commanded him, so did he.
