² “On the first day of the ^(A)first month you shall set up ^(B)the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

³⁰ And you shall raise up the tabernacle ^(A)according to its pattern which you were shown on the mountain.

Offerings of the Leaders

7 Now it came to pass, when Moses had finished ^(A)setting up the tabernacle, that he ^(B)anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; so he anointed them and consecrated them.

The First Census of Israel^(A)

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses ^(B)in the Wilderness of Sinai, ^(C)in the tabernacle of meeting, on the ^(D)first day of the second month, in the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying:

¹⁷ And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the ^(A)tabernacle was ^[a]raised up. ¹⁸ So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars. ¹⁹ And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

⁶ Then you shall set the ^(A)altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

¹⁸ He also made fifty bronze clasps to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

^11 (A)the tabernacle, its tent, its covering, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;

³⁶ And you shall beat some of it very fine, and put some of it before the Testimony in the tabernacle of meeting ^(A)where I will meet with you. ^(B)It shall be most holy to you.
