וְאֵת מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה שָׂם פֶּתַח מִשְׁכַּן אֹֽהֶל־מוֹעֵד וַיַּעַל עָלָיו אֶת־הָעֹלָה וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ {ס}

את העולה. עולת התמיד:
A burnt-offering. [I.e.,] the daily burnt-offering.
ואת המנחה. מנחת נסכים של תמיד, כמו שנאמר וְעִשָׂרֹן סֹלֶת בָּלוּל בַּשֶׁמֶן וגו' (שמות כט, מ):
And a meal-offering. [I.e.,] the mincha of the libations of the tamid. As it is said: “[And with one lamb bring] a tenth [of an eipha] of flour mixed with oil, etc.”
וַיָּשֶׂם אֶת־הַכִּיֹּר בֵּֽין־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וּבֵין הַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַיִּתֵּן שָׁמָּה מַיִם לְרׇחְצָֽה׃

וְרָחֲצוּ מִמֶּנּוּ מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן וּבָנָיו אֶת־יְדֵיהֶם וְאֶת־רַגְלֵיהֶֽם׃
Moshe, Aharon and his sons washed their hands and feet from it,
Moshe, Aharon and his sons washed their hands and feet from it,
Rashi
ורחצו ממנו משה ואהרן ובניו. יום שמיני למלואים הושוו כולם לכהונה, ותרגומו וִיקַדְּשׁוּן מִנֵּיהּ, בו ביום קָדַשׁ משה עמהם:
Moshe and Aharon ... washed ... from it. On the eighth day of the Installations all of them (Moshe, Aharon and his sons) were equal in the priesthood. Onkelos’ translation [of וְרָחֲצוּ] is: And they sanctified themselves from it. On that very day Moshe was sanctified with them.
בְּבֹאָם אֶל־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וּבְקׇרְבָתָם אֶל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ יִרְחָצוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהֹוָה אֶת־מֹשֶֽׁה׃ {ס}
when they came to the Tent of Meeting and when they approached the altar they would wash, just as Adonoy commanded Moshe.
when they came to the Tent of Meeting and when they approached the altar they would wash, just as Adonoy commanded Moshe.
Rashi
ובקרבתם. כמו ובקרבם, כשיקרבו:
And when they approached. וּבְקָרְבָתָם is the same as וּבְקָרְבָם — when they would approach.
וַיָּקֶם אֶת־הֶחָצֵר סָבִיב לַמִּשְׁכָּן וְלַמִּזְבֵּחַ וַיִּתֵּן אֶת־מָסַךְ שַׁעַר הֶחָצֵר וַיְכַל מֹשֶׁה אֶת־הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃ {פ}
He set up the enclosure around the mishkon and the altar, and put up the screen at the enclosure’s entrance, and thus Moshe completed the work.
He set up the enclosure around the mishkon and the altar, and put up the screen at the enclosure’s entrance, and thus Moshe completed the work.
וַיְכַס הֶעָנָן אֶת־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וּכְבוֹד יְהֹוָה מָלֵא אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
The cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of Adonoy filled the mishkon.

וְלֹא־יָכֹל מֹשֶׁה לָבוֹא אֶל־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד כִּֽי־שָׁכַן עָלָיו הֶעָנָן וּכְבוֹד יְהֹוָה מָלֵא אֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּֽן׃
Moshe was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud rested on it, and the glory of Adonoy filled the mishkon.
Moshe was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud rested on it, and the glory of Adonoy filled the mishkon.
Rashi
ולא יכול משה לבוא אל אהל מועד. וכתוב אחד אומר, ובבא משה אל אהל מועד (במדבר ז, פט), בא הכתוב השלישי והכריע ביניהם, כי שכן עליו הענן, אמר מעתה, כל זמן שהיה עליו הענן, לא היה יכול לבוא, נסתלק הענן, נכנס ומדבר עמו (פתיחה לת"כ ח):
Moshe was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting. Yet, another verse states: “And when Moshe would come into the Tent of Meeting” There comes a third verse [later in our verse] and reconciles them: “for the cloud was upon it (on the Tent of meetings)” Say, therefore: as long as the cloud was upon it he could not come in; once the cloud left he would enter and speak with Him.
וּבְהֵעָלוֹת הֶֽעָנָן מֵעַל הַמִּשְׁכָּן יִסְעוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכֹל מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃
When the cloud rose up from over the mishkon, the B’nei Yisrael would set out in all their travels.
When the cloud rose up from over the mishkon, the B’nei Yisrael would set out in all their travels.
וְאִם־לֹא יֵעָלֶה הֶעָנָן וְלֹא יִסְעוּ עַד־יוֹם הֵעָלֹתֽוֹ׃
If the cloud did not rise, they would not set out until the day that it rose.
If the cloud did not rise, they would not set out until the day that it rose.
כִּי עֲנַן יְהֹוָה עַֽל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן יוֹמָם וְאֵשׁ תִּהְיֶה לַיְלָה בּוֹ לְעֵינֵי כׇל־בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּכׇל־מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃
For the cloud of Adonoy was upon the mishkon by day, and there was a fire in it by night, before the eyes of the entire Beis Yisrael, in all their travels.
For the cloud of Adonoy was upon the mishkon by day, and there was a fire in it by night, before the eyes of the entire Beis Yisrael, in all their travels.
Rashi
לעיני כל בית ישראל בכל מסעיהם. בכל מסע שהיו נוסעים, היה הענן שוכן במקום אשר יחנו שם. מקום חנייתם אף הוא קרוי מסע, וכן וַיֵּלֶךְ לְמַסָּעיו (בראשית יג, ג), וכן אֵלֶּה מַסְעֵי (במדבר לג, א), לפי שממקום החנייה חזרו ונסעו, לכך נקראו כולן מסעות:
Before the eyes of the entire Beis Yisrael in all their travels. At every station that they stopped the cloud would rest at the place where they encamped. Their encampment is also called מַסָּע Similarly: “He went to his (לְמַסָּעָיו) resting places.” Similarly: “These were (מַסְעֵי) the stations.” Because from the place of encampment they again journeyed, therefore, they are called מַסָּעוֹת .

ויעל עליו וגו'. אף ביום השמיני למלואים שהוא יום הקמת המשכן, שמש משה והקריב קרבנות צבור, חוץ מאותן שנצטוה אהרן בו ביום, שנאמר קְרַב אֶל הַמִּזְבַּח וגו' (ויקרא ט, ז):
He sacrificed on it, etc. Also on the eighth day of the Installations which was the day the mishkon was erected. Moshe performed the service and offered the communal korbonos, except for those which Aharon was commanded on that very day, as it states: “[Moshe said to Aharon:] Approach the Altar, etc.”
