Sinai & The Law

the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering;

the ark of the Testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;

the table with all its utensils and the Bread of the Presence;

the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its utensils, as well as the oil for the light;

the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;

the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases; the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and tent pegs, and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting;

and the woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.

The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had accomplished it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them.

Then the LORD said to Moses,

“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.

Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.

Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony, and hang the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.

Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.

Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.

Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.

And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.

Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.

Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.”
