¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, ²‘On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, ³and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail, ⁴and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.

⁵‘And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle, ⁶and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, ⁷and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.

⁸‘And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court, ⁹and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy; ¹⁰and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy; ¹¹and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.

¹²‘And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water; ¹³and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

¹⁴‘And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats, ¹⁵and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.’

¹⁶And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
