Exodus 40:1–16

¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, ²On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ³And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil. ⁴And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps. ⁵And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle. ⁶And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ⁷And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it. ⁸And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court. ⁹And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy. ¹⁰And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy. ¹¹And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it. ¹²And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water. ¹³And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest. ¹⁴And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests. ¹⁵And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

¹⁶And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
