Shemot 40:25-38 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. And he set up the nerot (lamps) before Hashem; as Hashem commanded Moshe.

26. And he put the Mizbe'ach Hazahav in the Ohel Mo'ed before the Parochet;

27. And he burned ketoret spices thereon; as Hashem commanded Moshe.

28. And he set up the Masach HaPetach LaMishkan (Curtain of the Entrance of the Tabernacle).

29. And he put the Mizbe'ach HaOlah at the Petach Mishkan Ohel Mo'ed, and offered upon it the olah (burnt offering) and the minchah; as Hashem commanded Moshe.

30. And he set the Kiyor between the Ohel Mo'ed and the Mizbe'ach, and put mayim there, to wash withal.

31. And Moshe and Aharon and his banim washed their hands and their feet thereat;

32. When they went into the Ohel Mo'ed, and when they came near unto the Mizbe'ach, they washed; as Hashem commanded Moshe.

33. And he erected the khatzer (courtyard) all around the Mishkan and the Mizbe'ach, and set up the Masach Sha'ar HaKhatzer. So Moshe finished the work.

34. Then the Anan covered the Ohel Mo'ed, and the Kavod Hashem filled the Mishkan.

35. And Moshe was not able to enter into the Ohel Mo'ed, because the [Shekinah] cloud abode thereon, and the Kavod Hashem filled the Mishkan.

36. And when the Anan was taken up from over the Mishkan, the Bnei Yisroel went onward in all their journeys;

37. But if the Anan were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.

38. For the Anan Hashem was upon the Mishkan by day, and Eish was on it by night, in the sight of all the Bais Yisroel, throughout all their journeys. [T.N. The Theme of gracious, unmerited Deliverance and Salvation for an Am Kesheh Oref (Obstinate Stiffnecked People) has been presented in the Second Book of Moses.]
