Exodus 40:1-15

Moses is instructed by Jehovah to set up the Tent of Meeting, and the Court, to arrange the sacred vessels in their places (vv.2 8), to consecrate the whole by anointing it (vv.9 11), to clothe the priests in their vestments, and to anoint them (vv.12 15). Most of these instructions have been given before; now that the time has come for carrying them out, they are summarily repeated (though not all that are necessary are given here; see vv.17 ff.).
