and put in the bars thereof, and reared up its pillars. 19And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the Lord commanded Moses.
20And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the ark-cover above upon the ark. 21And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as the Lord commanded Moses.
22And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the veil. 23And he set a row of bread in order upon it before the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
24And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25And he lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses.
26And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil; 27and he burnt thereon incense of sweet spices; as the Lord commanded Moses.
28And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle. 29And the altar of burnt-offering he set at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as the Lord commanded Moses.
30And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water therein, wherewith to wash; 31that Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet thereat; 32when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near unto the altar, they should wash; as the Lord commanded Moses.
33And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.—36And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys. 37But if the cloud was not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 38For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.—

ויקרא
LEVITICUS (Vayiqra)
1And the Lord called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying: 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them:
When any man of you bringeth an offering unto the Lord, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd or of the flock.
3If his offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish; he shall bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the Lord. 4And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5And he shall kill the bullock before the Lord; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and dash the blood round about against the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting. 6And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces. 7And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire. 8And Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, and the head, and the suet, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar; 9but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall make the whole smoke on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
10And if his offering be of the flock, whether of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall offer it a male without blemish. 11And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the Lord; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall dash its blood against the altar round about. 12And he shall cut it into its pieces; and the priest shall lay them, with its head and its suet, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar. 13But the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and make it smoke upon the altar; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
14And if his offering to the Lord be a burnt-offering of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons. 15And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and pinch off its head, and make it smoke on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on the side of the altar. 16And he shall take away its crop with the feathers thereof, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in the place of the ashes. 17And he shall rend it by the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall make it smoke upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
2And when any one bringeth a meal-offering unto the Lord, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon. 2And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests; and he shall take thereout his handful of the fine flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, together with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall make the memorial-part thereof smoke upon the altar, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord. 3But that which is left of the meal-offering shall be Aaron's and his sons'; it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord made by fire.
4And when thou bringest a meal-offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers spread with oil.
5And if thy offering be a meal-offering baked on a griddle,
