| 40:18 | And Moses reared vp the tabernacle & fastened his sockettes, and set vp the bordes and put in their barres, & reared vp the pyllers, |
| 40:19 | & spred abrod the tent ouer the habitation, and put the coueringe of the tente an hye aboue it: as the lord commaunded Moses. |
| 40:20 | And he toke and put the testimony in the arcke, and set the staues to the arcke, & putte the mercy seate an hye vppon the arcke, |
| 40:21 | and brought the arcke into the habitation, & hanged vp the vayle, & couered the arcke of witnes as the Lord commanded Moses. |

| 40:31 | And both Moses, Aaron & his sonnes washed their handes & their fete therat: |
| 40:32 | boeth when they went into the tabernacle of wytnes, or when they went to the aultare, as the Lord commaunded Moses. |
| 40:33 | And he reared vp the courte rounde about the habitation and the aultare & set vp the hangynge of the court gate: and so Moses finished the worcke. |
| 40:34 | And the cloude couered the tabernacle of wytnes, and the glorye of the Lorde fylled the habitation: |
| 40:35 | so that Moses coulde not enter into the Tabernacle of wytnesse bycause the cloude abode therin, and the glory of the Lord filled the habitation. |
| 40:36 | When the cloude was taken vp from of the habitation the children of Israel toke their iourneys as oft as they had iourneyed. |
| 40:37 | And if the cloude departed not, they iourneyed not tyll it departed: |
| 40:38 | for the cloud of the Lord was vpon the habitation by daye, and fyre by nyght: in the syght of all the house of Israell in all theyr iourneys. |
Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
