4. You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lampstand, and light the lamps of it.  

5. You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tent.

6. You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tent of the tent of meeting.

7. You shall set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.

8. You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.

9. You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tent, and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture: and it will be holy.

10. You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar will be most holy.

14. You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

15. You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.

16. Thus did Moses : according to all that יהוה commanded him, so he did.

17. It happened in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tent was raised up.

20. He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

21. He brought the ark into the tent, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as יהוה commanded Moses .

34. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of יהוה filled the tent.

35. Moses  wasn’t able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and יהוה s glory filled the tent.

36. When the cloud was taken up from over the tent, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys; 

37. But if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up. 

38. For the cloud of יהוה was on the tent by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
