The Tabernacle Erected

40 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “On the ^(A)first day of the first month you shall ^(B)erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

^12 (A)Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water ¹³ and put on Aaron the holy garments. And you shall anoint him and consecrate him, that he may serve me as priest.

¹⁶ This Moses did; according to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.

^28 (A)He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle. ^29 (B)And he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the ^(C)grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^30 (D)He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing, ³¹ with which Moses and ^(E)Aaron and his sons ^(F)washed their hands and their feet. ³² When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses. ^33 (G)And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So ^(H)Moses finished the work.

The Glory of the Lord

³⁴ Then ^(I)the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and ^(J)the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

The Full Assurance of Faith

^19 (A)Therefore, brothers,^[a] since we have confidence to enter ^(B)the holy places by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by ^(C)the new and living way that he opened for us through ^(D)the curtain, that is, through his flesh, ²¹ and since we have ^(E)a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts ^(F)sprinkled clean ^(G)from an evil conscience and our bodies ^(H)washed with pure water.
