1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 “You are to set up the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, on the first day of the first month.
3 Put the ark of the testimony there and screen off the ark with the veil.
4 Then bring in the table and lay out its arrangement; also bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.
5 Place the gold altar for incense in front of the ark of the testimony. Put up the screen for the entrance to the tabernacle.
6 Position the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.
7 Place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
