Exodus 40:14

Modern

Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.

Traditional

And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:

Literal

And you shall bring his sons, and you shall clothe them with tunics.

Latin

Included in Exodus 40:13

Hebrew

English

Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.

The report on setting up the Tent of Meeting starts with the Lord's commands (40:1–15). It continues with how Moses obeyed those commands (40:16–33).
The repeated statement that "Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded" (40:16, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 32) strongly contrasts with Aaron’s self-serving statement in 32:22–24. God wants to share his presence with us, but his holiness requires us to give up our own efforts to secure his presence and gifts.
