And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2
On the day of the first month, on the first of the month, shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3
And thou shalt put in it the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil.
4
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it. And thou shalt bring in the candlestick and light its lamps.
5
And thou shalt set the golden altar for the incense before the ark of the testimony; and hang up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
6
And thou shalt set the altar of burnt-offering before the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
7
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put water in it.
8
And thou shalt fix the court round about, and hang up the curtain at the gate of the court.
9
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shalt hallow it, and all its utensils; and it shall be holy.
10
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its utensils; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
11
And thou shalt anoint the laver and its stand, and hallow it.
12
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons near, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, and bathe them with water.
13
And thou shalt clothe Aaron with the holy garments, and anoint him, and hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
14
And thou shalt bring his sons near, and clothe them with vests.
15
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may serve me as priests. And their anointing shall be to them an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
16
And Moses did so: as Jehovah had commanded him, so did he.
17
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first of the month, that the tabernacle was set up.
18
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put in its bases, and fixed its boards, and put in its bars, and set up its pillars.
19
And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above over it; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
20
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and put the staves in the ark, and put the mercy-seat above on the ark.
21
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and hung up the veil of separation, and covered the ark of the testimony; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22
And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil,
23
and arranged the bread in order upon it before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
24
And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite to the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25
And he lighted the lamps before Jehovah; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
26
And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil.
27
And he burnt on it fragrant incense; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
28
And he hung up the curtain of the entrance to the tabernacle.
29
And he put the altar of burnt-offering at the entrance to the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the oblation; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
30
And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing.
31
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet out of it:
32
when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they drew near to the altar, they washed; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
33
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the curtain of the gate of the court. And so Moses finished the work.
34
And the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
35
And Moses could not enter into the tent of meeting, for the cloud abode on it, and the glory of Jehovah filled the tabernacle.
36
And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel journeyed in all their journeys.
37
And if the cloud were not taken up, then they did not journey until the day that it was taken up.
38
For the cloud of Jehovah was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2
On the first day of the first month, at the new moon, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of witness,
3
and thou shalt place [in it] the ark of the testimony, and shalt cover the ark with the veil,
4
and thou shalt bring in the table and shalt set forth that which is to be set forth on it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick and place its lamps on it.
5
And thou shalt place the golden altar, to burn incense before the ark; and thou shalt put a covering of a veil on the door of the tabernacle of witness.
6
And thou shalt put the altar of burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle of witness,
8
and thou shalt set up the tabernacle round about, and thou shalt hallow all that belongs to it round about.
9
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and shalt anoint the tabernacle, and all things in it; and shalt sanctify it, and all its furniture, and it shall be holy.
10
And thou shalt anoint the altar of burnt-offerings, and all its furniture; and thou shalt hallow the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.
12
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and thou shalt wash them with water.
13
And thou shalt put on Aaron the holy garments, and thou shalt anoint him, and thou shalt sanctify him, and he shall minister to me as priest.
14
And thou shalt bring up his sons, and shalt put garments on them.
15
And thou shalt anoint them as thou didst anoint their father, and they shall minister to me as priests; and it shall be that they shall have an everlasting anointing of priesthood, throughout their generations.
16
And Moses did all things whatsoever the Lord commanded him, so did he.
17
And it came to pass in the first month, in the second year after their going forth out of Egypt, at the new moon, that the tabernacle was set up.
18
And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
19
And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
20
And he took the testimonies, and put them into the ark; and he put the staves by the sides of the ark.
21
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and put on [it] the covering of the veil, and covered the ark of the testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses.
22
And he put the table in the tabernacle of witness, on the north side without the veil of the tabernacle.
23
And he put on it the shewbread before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
24
And he put the candlestick into the tabernacle of witness, on the side of the tabernacle toward the south.
25
And he put on it its lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
26
And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil;
27
and he burnt on it incense of composition, as the Lord commanded Moses.
29
And he put the altar of the burnt-offerings by the doors of the tabernacle.
33
And he set up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar; and Moses accomplished all the works.
34
And the cloud covered the tabernacle of witness, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
35
And Moses was not able to enter into the tabernacle of testimony, because the cloud overshadowed it, and the tabernacle was filled with the glory of the Lord.
36
And when the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the children of Israel prepared to depart with their baggage.
37
And if the cloud went not up, they did not prepare to depart, till the day when the cloud went up.
38
For a cloud was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night before all Israel, in all their journeyings.

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2
Mense primo, prima die mensis, eriges tabernaculum testimonii,
3
et pones in eo arcam, dimittesque ante illam velum:
4
et illata mensa, pones super eam quæ rite præcepta sunt. Candelabrum stabit cum lucernis suis,
5
et altare aureum in quo adoletur incensum, coram arca testimonii. Tentorium in introitu tabernaculi pones,
6
et ante illud altare holocausti:
7
labrum inter altare et tabernaculum, quod implebis aqua.
8
Circumdabisque atrium tentoriis, et ingressum eius.
9
Et assumpto unctionis oleo unges tabernaculum cum vasis suis, ut sanctificentur:
10
altare holocausti et omnia vasa eius:
11
labrum cum basi sua: omnia unctionis oleo consecrabis, ut sint Sancta sanctorum.
12
Applicabisque Aaron et filios eius ad fores tabernaculi testimonii, et lotos aqua
13
indues sanctis vestibus, ut ministrent mihi, et unctio eorum in sacerdotium sempiternum proficiat.
14
Fecitque Moyses omnia quæ præceperat Dominus.
15
Igitur mense primo anni secundi, prima die mensis, collocatum est tabernaculum.
16
Erexitque Moyses illud, et posuit tabulas ac bases et vectes, statuitque columnas,
17
et expandit tectum super tabernaculum, imposito desuper operimento, sicut Dominus imperaverat.
18
Posuit et testimonium in arca, subditis infra vectibus, et oraculum desuper.
19
Cumque intulisset arcam in tabernaculum, appendit ante eam velum ut expleret Domini iussionem.
20
Posuit et mensam in tabernaculo testimonii ad plagam Septentrionalem extra velum,
21
ordinatis coram propositionis panibus, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
22
Posuit et candelabrum in tabernaculo testimonii e regione mensæ in parte australi,
23
locatis per ordinem lucernis, iuxta præceptum Domini.
24
Posuit et altare aureum sub tecto testimonii contra velum,
25
et adolevit super eo incensum aromatum, sicut iusserat Dominus Moysi.
26
Posuit et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi testimonii,
27
et altare holocausti in vestibulo testimonii, offerens in eo holocaustum, et sacrificia, ut Dominus imperaverat.
28
Labrum quoque statuit inter tabernaculum testimonii et altare, implens illud aqua.
29
Laveruntque Moyses et Aaron, ac filii eius manus suas et pedes,
30
cum ingrederentur tectum fœderis, et accederent ad altare, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
31
Erexit et atrium per gyrum tabernaculi et altaris, ducto in introitu eius tentorio. Postquam omnia perfecta sunt,
32
operuit nubes tabernaculum testimonii, et gloria Domini implevit illud.
33
Nec poterat Moyses ingredi tectum fœderis, nube operiente omnia, et maiestate Domini coruscante, quia cuncta nubes operuerat.
34
Si quando nubes tabernaculum deserebat, proficiscebantur filii Israel per turmas suas:
35
si pendebat desuper, manebant in eodem loco.
36
Nubes quippe Domini incubabat per diem tabernaculo, et ignis in nocte, videntibus cunctis populis Israel per cunctas mansiones suas.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2
“On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
3
You shall put the ark of the covenant in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
4
You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lamp stand, and light its lamps.
5
You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
6
“You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
7
You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.
8
You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
9
“You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture, and it will be holy.
10
You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.
11
You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
12
“You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
13
You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
14
You shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them.
15
You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”
16
Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.
17
In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.
18
Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
19
He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
20
He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
21
He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the covenant, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22
He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.
23
He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
24
He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
25
He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
26
He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;
27
and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
28
He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
29
He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30
He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.
31
Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
32
When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.
33
He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.
35
Moses wasn’t able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.
36
When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
37
but if the cloud wasn’t taken up, then they didn’t travel until the day that it was taken up.
38
For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2
`On the first day of the month, in the first month, thou dost raise up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
3
and hast set there the ark of the testimony, and hast covered over the ark with the vail,
4
and hast brought in the table, and set its arrangement in order, and hast brought in the candlestick, and caused its lamps to go up.
5
`And thou hast put the golden altar for perfume before the ark of the testimony, and hast put the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
6
and hast put the altar of the burnt-offering before the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
7
and hast put the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there.
8
`And thou hast set the court round about, and hast placed the covering of the gate of the court,
9
and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle, and all that <FI>is<Fi> in it, and hallowed it, and all its vessels, and it hath been holy;
10
and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar hath been most holy;
11
and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and sanctified it.
12
`And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;
13
and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest to Me.
14
`And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,
15
and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their generations.'
16
And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done.
17
And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up;
18
and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars,
19
and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
20
And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above;
21
and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
22
And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail,
23
and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
24
And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward,
25
and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
26
And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting, before the vail,
27
and maketh perfume on it--spice-perfume--as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
28
And he setteth the covering of the opening to the tabernacle,
29
and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
30
And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and putteth water there for washing,
31
and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands and their feet at the same;
32
in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
33
And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle, and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of the court; and Moses completeth the work.
34
And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle;
35
and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle.
36
And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys;
37
and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until the day of its going up:
38
for the cloud of Jehovah <FI>is<Fi> on the tabernacle by day, and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their journeys.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
