The Koine Bible

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying

On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, you shall set up the tent of testimony.

And you shall place the ark of the testimony, and you shall cover the ark with the veil.

And you shall bring in the table and set out its setting, and you shall bring in the lampstand and place its lamps on it

And you shall put the golden altar for burning incense before the ark, and you shall put a covering of the veil at the door of the tent of the testimony

And you shall place the altar of burnt offerings beside the doors of the tent of the testimony.

And you shall put the tent around, and all its things you shall consecrate round about.

And you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tent and all the things in it, and you shall consecrate it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.

And you shall anoint the altar of the offerings and all its utensils, and you shall consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.

And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tent of testimony, and you shall wash them with water.

And you shall put on Aaron the holy garments, and you shall anoint him, and you shall sanctify him, and he shall minister as priest to me

And you shall bring near his sons and clothe them with tunics

And you shall anoint them in the manner in which you anointed their father, and they shall serve as priests to me, and it shall be so as to be for them an anointing of priesthood forever throughout their generations.

And Moses did all that the Lord commanded him; so he did.

And it came to pass in the first month, on the second year of their going out from Egypt, on the new moon the tent was set up

And Moses set up the tent and put on the bases and inserted the bars and set up the pillars

And he stretched out the curtains over the tent, and he put the covering of the tent over it above, as the Lord commanded Moses.

And taking the testimonies, he put them into the ark and placed the poles under the ark

And he brought the ark into the tent and put the veil covering on it and covered the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord commanded Moses

And he placed the table in the tent of testimony, on the side of the tent of testimony toward the north, outside the veil of the tent.

and he set on it the bread of the presentation before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses

And he put the lampstand in the tent of testimony, on the side of the tent toward the south.

And he put its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

And he put the golden altar in the tent of the testimony, opposite the veil

and he burned the compound incense on it, just as the Lord commanded Moses

And the altar of the burnt offerings he placed beside the doors of the tent

And he set up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and Moses finished all the works.

And the cloud covered the tent of testimony, and the tent was filled with the glory of the Lord.

And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of testimony, because the cloud was overshadowing it, and the tent was filled with the glory of the Lord.

And whenever the cloud went up from the tent, the sons of Israel would set out, with their equipment.

But if the cloud did not go up, they did not set out until the day when the cloud went up.

For the cloud was upon the tent by day, and fire was upon it by night, before all Israel in all their stages.
