Exodus 40:9-33

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;

¹⁵And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

¹⁶And Moses did this; as the Lord gave him orders, so he did.

¹⁷So on the first day of the first month in the second year the House was put up.

¹⁸Moses put up the House; placing its bases in position and lifting up its uprights, putting in the rods and planting the pillars in their places;

¹⁹Stretching the outer tent over it, and covering it, as the Lord had given him orders.

²⁰And he took the law and put it inside the ark, and put the rods at its side and the cover over it;

²¹And he took the ark into the House, hanging up the veil before it as the Lord had given him orders.

²²And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil.

²³And he put the bread on it in order before the Lord, as the Lord had said.

²⁴The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

²⁵Lighting the lights before the Lord, as the Lord had given him orders.

²⁶And he put the gold altar in the Tent of meeting, in front of the veil:

²⁷Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

²⁸And he put up the curtain at the doorway of the House.

²⁹And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

³⁰And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

³¹In it the hands and feet of Moses and Aaron and his sons were washed,

³²Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

³³And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.
