Exodus 40

¹And the Lord said to Moses,

²On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.

³And inside it put the ark of the law, hanging the veil before it.

⁴And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

⁵And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

⁶And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

⁷And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

⁸And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.

⁹And take the holy oil and put it on the House and everything in it, and make it and everything in it holy:

¹⁰And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

¹¹And put oil on the washing-vessel and its base, and make them holy.

¹²Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,

¹³You are to put on Aaron the holy robes; and you are to put oil on him, and make him holy, so that he may be my priest.

¹⁴And take his sons with him and put coats on them;
