Sinai & The Law

And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,

And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.

And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.

And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfil the commandment of the Lord.

And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, without the veil,

Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

And the Lord called Moses, and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: The man among you that shall offer to the Lord a sacrifice of the cattle, that is, offering victims of oxen and sheep:
