The Tabernacle with the appurtenances is reared vp. 34 The glorie of the Lord appeareth in the cloude couering the Tabernacle.

1.THen the Lord ſpake vnto Moſés, ſaying,

2.In the ^a firſt day of the firſt moneth in the very firſt of the ſame moneth ſhalt thou ſet vp the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregacion:

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

4.Alſo thou ſhalt bring in the ^* Table, and ſet it in ordre as it doeth require: thou ſhalt alſo bring in the Candelſticke, and light his lampes,

5.And thou ſhalt ſet the incenſe Altar ^b of golde before the Arke of the Teſtimonie, and put the ^c hanging at the dore of the Tabernacle.

6.Moreouer thou ſhalt ſet the burnt offrig Altar before the dore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregacion.

7.And thou ſhalt ſet the Lauer betwene the Tabernacle of the Congregacion & the Altar, and put water therein.

8.Then thou ſhalt appoint the courte roūd about, and hang vp the hanging at the courte gate.

9.After, thou ſhalt take the anointing oyle, and anoint the Tabernacle, and all that is therein, and halowe it with all the inſtruments thereof, that it may be holye.

10.And thou ſhalt anoint the Altar of the burnt offring, and all his inſtruments, and ſhalt ſanctifie the Altar, that it may be an altar moſte holy.

11.Alſo thou ſhalt anoint the Lauer and his fote, and ſhalt ſanctifie it.

12.Then thou ſhalt bring Aarón and his ſonnes vnto the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregacion, & waſh them with water.

13.And thou ſhalt put vpon Aarón the holy garments, and ſhalt anoint him, & ſanctifie him that he may miniſter vnto me in the Prieſts office.

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

15.And ſhalt anoint them as thou diddeſt anoint their father, that thei may miniſter vnto me in the Prieſts office: for their anointing ſhalbe a ſigne, that y prieſthode ^d ſhalbe euerlaſting vnto thē throughout their generacions.

16.So Moſés did according to all that the Lord had commanded him: ſo did he.

17.¶ ^* Thus was the Tabernacle reared vp the firſt day of the firſt moneth in ^e the ſeconde yere.

18.Then Moſés 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 pillers.

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

20.¶ And he toke and put the ^f Teſtimonie in the Arke, and put the barres in the rings of the Arke, and ſet the Merciſeat on hie vpon the Arke.

21.He broght alſo the Arke into the Tabernacle, and hanged vp the ^* couering vaile,

22.¶ Furthermore he put the Table in the Tabernacle of the Congregacion in the Northſide of the Tabernacle, without the vaile,

23.And ſet the bread in ordre before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moſés.

24.¶ Alſo he put the Candelſticke in the Tabernacle of the Congregacion ouer againſt the Table towarde the Southſide of the Tabernacle.

25.And he ^" lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moſés.

26.¶ Moreouer he ſet the golden Altar in the Tabernacle of the Congregacion before the vaile,

27.And burnt ſwete incēſe thereon, as the Lord had commanded Moſés.

28.¶ Alſo he hāged vp the vaile at the ^g dore of the Tabernacle.

29.After, he ſet the burnt offring Altar with-out the dore of the Tabernacle, called the Tabernacle of the Congregacion, & offred the burnt offring and the ſacrifice thereon, as the Lord had cōmāded Moſés.

30.¶ Likewiſe he ſet the Lauer betwene the Tabernacle of the Congregacion & the Altar, and powred water therein to waſh with.

31.So Moſés, and Aarón, and his ſonnes, waſhed their hands & their fete thereat.

32.When thei went into the Tabernacle of the Congregacion, and when thei approched to the Altar, thei waſhed, as the Lord had commanded Moſés.

33.Finally he reared vp the courte round about the Tabernacle and the Altar, and hanged vp the vaile at the courte gate: ſo Moſés finiſhed the worke.

34.¶ ^* Then the cloude couered the Taber-nacle of the Congregacion, and the glo-rie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

35.So Moſés colde not entre into the Ta-bernacle of the Congregacion, becauſe the cloude abode thereon, and the glorie of the Lord filled the Tabernacle.

36.Now when the cloude aſcēded vp from the Tabernacle, the children of Iſraél went forwarde in all their iourneis.

37.But if the cloude aſcended not, then thei iourneied not til the day that it aſcended.

38.For ^h 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 Iſraél, throughout all their iourneies.
