Exodus 40:1-8 ▼

1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses:

2 On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

3 You are to place the ark of the testimony in it and shield the ark with the special curtain.

4 You are to bring in the table and set out the things that belong on it; then you are to bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.

5 You are to put the gold altar for incense in front of the ark of the testimony and put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

6 You are to put the altar for the burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

7 You are to put the large basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it.

8 You are to set up the courtyard around it and put the curtain at the gate of the courtyard.
