15. As you have anointed their father, anoint them also as my priests. Thus, by being anointed, shall they receive a perpetual priesthood throughout all future generations.
16. Moses did just as the Lord had commanded him.
17. On the first day of the first month of the second year the tabernacle was set up.
18. It was Moses who set up the tabernacle. He placed its pedestals, set up its frames, put in its bars, and set up its columns.
19. He spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering on top of the tent, as the Lord had commanded him.
20. He took the covenant and put it in the ark; he placed poles alongside the ark and set the cover upon it.
21. He brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the curtain veil, thus screening off the ark of the covenant, as the Lord had commanded him.
22. He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,
23. and arranged the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.
