And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.

And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.

The Lord spoke with Moses face to face, just as a man speaks with his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his assistant, the young man Joshua son of Nun, would not leave the inside of the tent.

The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,

Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,

the gold altar; the anointing oil; the fragrant incense; the screen for the entrance to the tent;

The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

"You are to put the golden altar for incense in front of the Ark of the Testimony and then set up the screen for the doorway to the tent.

And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.

And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.

You are to take the anointing oil and anoint the tent and all that is in it. You are to consecrate it and all its furnishings and it will be holy.

“Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

And so in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tent was set up.

Moses set up the tent. He installed its sockets and set its boards in place. He inserted its bars and set up its pillars.

And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.

He brought the ark into the tent, set up the curtain, and screened off the Ark of the Testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him.

And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.

And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:

He set up the screen for the doorway of the tent.

And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.

When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.

He set up the court all around the tent and the altar, and hung up the screen for the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.

Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

Whenever the cloud was lifted up from the tent, the Israelis would set out on their journey,

since the cloud of the LORD was over the tent by day, and the fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.
