1The Lord said to Moses:
16Moses followed the Lord 's instructions.
17And on the first day of the first month of the second year, the sacred tent was set up.[#40.17 See the note at 12.2.]
18The posts, stands, and framework were put in place,
19then the two layers of coverings were hung over them.
20The stones with the Ten Commandments written on them were stored in the sacred chest, the place of mercy was put on top of it, and the carrying poles were attached.[#40.20 See the note at 26.34.]
21The chest was brought into the tent and set behind the curtain in the most holy place. These things were done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22The table for the sacred bread was put along the north wall of the holy place,
23after which the bread was set on the table.
24The lampstand was put along the south wall,
25then the lamps were attached to it there in the presence of the Lord .
26The gold incense altar was set up in front of the curtain,
27and sweet-smelling incense was burned on it. These things were done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28The curtain was hung at the entrance to the sacred tent.
29Then the altar for offering sacrifices was put in front of the tent, and animal sacrifices and gifts of grain were offered there.
30The large bronze bowl was placed between the altar and the entrance to the tent. It was filled with water,
31then Moses and Aaron, together with Aaron's sons, washed their hands and feet.
32In fact, they washed each time before entering the tent or offering sacrifices at the altar. These things were done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33Finally, Moses had the curtains hung around the courtyard and at the entrance.
34Suddenly the sacred tent was covered by a thick cloud and filled with the glory of the Lord .[#1 K 8.10,11; Is 6.4; Ez 43.4,5; Rev 15.8.]
35And so, Moses could not enter the tent.
36Whenever the cloud moved from the tent, the people would break camp and follow;
37then they would set up camp and stay there, until it moved again.
38No matter where the people traveled, the Lord was with them. Each day his cloud was over the tent, and each night a fire could be seen in the cloud.
