1. Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3. You shall put the ark of the testimony in it and screen the ark with the veil.
4. You shall bring in the table and arrange the things that are to be arranged on it, and you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps.
5. You shall set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony and put the curtain for the entrance to the tabernacle.
