Exodus 40:25-35 New Century Version (NCV)

25. Then he put the lamps on the lampstand before the Lord, just as the Lord commanded him.

26. Moses put the gold altar for burning incense in the Meeting Tent in front of the curtain.

27. Then he burned sweet-smelling incense on it, just as the Lord commanded him.

28. Then he hung the curtain at the entrance to the Holy Tent.

29. He put the altar for burnt offerings at the entrance to the Holy Tent, the Meeting Tent, and offered a whole burnt offering and grain offerings on it, just as the Lord commanded him.

30. Moses put the bowl between the Meeting Tent and the altar for burnt offerings, and he put water in it for washing.

31. Moses, Aaron, and Aaron’s sons used this water to wash their hands and feet.

32. They washed themselves every time they entered the Meeting Tent and every time they went near the altar for burnt offerings, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

33. Then Moses set up the courtyard around the Holy Tent and the altar, and he put up the curtain at the entry to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.

34. Then the cloud covered the Meeting Tent, and the glory of the Lord filled the Holy Tent.

35. Moses could not enter the Meeting Tent, because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the Holy Tent.
