40:1 Erecting the sacred tent

40Then Yahweh told Mosheh, 2On the first day of the first month, you should set-up the tent where we’ll meet. 3Put the box for the transcript slabs in its place and hang the curtain to screen it from sight. 4Then bring in the bread table and arrange its utensils, and bring in the lampstand and set up the lamps, 5and put the gold incense altar in front of the sacred box and set-up the entrance curtain for the tent. 6Put the altar for burning sacrifices in front of the entrance to the sacred tent where we’ll meet. 7Put the washbasin between the sacred tent and that altar, and fill it with water. 8Set-up the curtains around the outside to make the courtyard, and also set-up the courtyard’s entrance curtain.

9Then take the sacred anointing oil and smear it on the sacred tent and everything that’s in it, then none of those things should be touched by others—it will all be sacred. 10Also anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all its utensils. After that, the altar shouldn’t be touched by othersit will be very sacred. 11Anoint the washbasin and its base, and then prohibit others from using it.

12Now bring Aharon and his sons to the entrance of the sacred tent and wash them with water. 13Then put the sacred garments on Aharon and anoint him and make him sacred, so he can now serve as a priest to me. 14Also bring his sons and dress them in tunics 15and anoint them like you anointed their father, and they will serve as priests to me. Their anointing will cause them to be a priesthood forever throughout their generations.”

16So Mosheh did everything that Yahweh had instructed him to do. 17It was the first day of the first month of their second year when they set-up the sacred tent. 18Mosheh set-up the residence by setting out its bases and standing up the frames with their bars, and the pillars. 19He spread the two tarpaulin layers over the tent just as Yahweh had instructed him. 20Then he took the two stone slabs with the transcript and put them into the box. He put the poles into the rings on the box and fitted the atonement platform on the top of the box as a lid, 21and brought the box into the residence. He set-up the curtain to conceal the box with the transcript, just as Yahweh had instructed him.

22He put the table into the sacred tent on the north side of the residence, outside the curtain, 23and arranged the bread on it to display it to Yahweh, just as Yahweh had instructed him. 24He put the lampstand inside the sacred tent across from the table, on the south side of the residence, 25and he placed the lamps on it in Yahweh’s presence, just as Yahweh had instructed him. 26Then he put the gold incense altar inside the sacred tent in front of the curtain that screened the sacred box from view, 27and burnt some fragrant incense on it, just as Yahweh had instructed him, 28then he hung the curtain at the tent entrance. 29He put the altar for burning sacrifices at the gate of the sacred tent and offered the burnt offering and the grain offering up on it, just as Yahweh had instructed him. 30Then he placed the washbasin between the tent and the altar, and filled it with water 31so that Mosheh, and Aharon and his sons, could wash their hands and feet from it. 32Whenever they went into the sacred tent or whenever they went near the altar, first they would wash themselves, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 33He erected the courtyard curtains around the residence and the altar, and he set-up the courtyard gate curtain. And so Mosheh finished the work.

40:34 Yahweh’s splendour fills the tent

(Num. 9:15-23)

34Then a cloud covered the sacred tent and Yahweh’s power and bright light filled the residence[ref] 35and Mosheh was unable to enter the tent because the cloud had settled on it and Yahweh’s splendour had filled the residence. 36From then onwards, whenever the cloud went up from over the residence, the Israelis would pack their camp and set out on their travels, 37but while the cloud remained, they would stay in that place until the cloud lifted. 38Yahweh’s cloud would be there during the day but it would become fire at night, and so the Israelis could always see it.


40:34: 1Ki 8:10-11; Isa 6:4; Eze 43:4-5; Rev 15:8.
