Exodus 40:9-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. And, having taken up the oil of unction, you shall anoint the tabernacle along with its articles, so that they may be sanctified.

10. The altar of holocaust and all its vessels,

11. the washtub with its base, and all things, you shall consecrate with the oil of unction, so that they may be the Holy of holies.

12. And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony, and, having washed them with water,

13. you shall clothe them in the holy vestments, so that they may minister to me, and so that their unction may accomplish an everlasting priesthood."

14. And Moses did all that the Lord had instructed.

15. Therefore, in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was put in place.

16. And Moses raised it up, and he positioned the panels as well as the bases and the bars, and he set up the columns,

17. and he stretched out the roof over the tabernacle, imposing a cover above it, just as the Lord had decreed.

18. And he placed the testimony in the ark, applying the bars beneath, and the oracle above.
