28 ^dHe put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle. 29 ^eAnd he set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the ^fgrain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 30 ^gHe set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing, 31 with which Moses and ^hAaron and his sons ⁱwashed their hands and their feet. 32 When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, as the Lord commanded Moses. 33 ^jAnd he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So ^kMoses finished the work.

34 Then ^lthe cloud covered the tent of meeting, and ^mthe glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 Throughout all their journeys, ⁿwhenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out. 37 But ^oif the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
