Shamut 40

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spake unto Mushah, saying,

"On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation."

"And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail."

"And 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 the lamps thereof."

"And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle."

"And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation."

"And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein."

"And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate."

"And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be qodesh (set-apart)."

"And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most qodesh."

"And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it."

"And thou shalt bring Aharon and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water."

"And thou shalt put upon Aharon the qodesh garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office."

"And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:"

"And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."

Thus did Mushah: according to all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded him, so did he.

And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.

And Mushah reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.

And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

And he set the bread in order upon it before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

And he lighted the lamps before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.

And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

And Mushah and Aharon and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat;

When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 commanded Mushah.

And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Mushah finished the work.

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 filled the tabernacle.

And Mushah was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 filled the tabernacle.

And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Yashar'al went onward in all their journeys:

But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

For the cloud of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Yashar'al, throughout all their journeys.
