The Tabernacle Erected and Arranged

40 Then the Lord ^(A)spoke to Moses, saying:

² “On the first day of the ^(A)first month you shall set up ^(B)the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

^3 (A)You shall put in it the ark of the Testimony, and ^[a]partition off the ark with the veil.

^4 (A)You shall bring in the table and ^(B)arrange the things that are to be set in order on it; ^(C)and you shall bring in the lampstand and ^[a]light its lamps.

^5 (A)You shall also set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the Testimony, and put up the screen for the door of the tabernacle.

⁹ “And you shall take the anointing oil, and ^(A)anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.

¹⁰ You shall ^(A)anoint the altar of the burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar. ^(B)The altar shall be most holy.

¹⁶ Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

The Cloud and the Glory^(A)

^34 (B)Then the ^(C)cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the ^(D)glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

³⁵ And Moses ^(A)was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
