Exodus 40:29-38 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

29. He set the altar of burnt offering before the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30. He placed the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

31. From it Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.

32. When they entered the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

33. He erected the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the veil for the gateway of the court. Thus Moses finished the work.

34. Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

35. Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

36. Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out;

37. but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up.

38. For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
