“On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

9 a nd hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;

“And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it; and you shall hallow it and all its utensils, and it shall be holy.

12 ` And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

“Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of meeting and wash them with water.

13 a nd thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.

You shall put the holy garments on Aaron, and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as priest.

32 i n their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came near the altar, they washed, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then the cloud covered the tabernacle of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35 a nd Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.

And Moses was not able to enter the tabernacle of meeting, because the cloud rested above it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36 A nd in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;

Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would go onward in all their journeys.

37 a nd if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:

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

For the cloud of the Lord was above the tabernacle by day, and fire was over it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
