Exodus 40:16-33

16 This Moses did; according to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.
17 In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, 1the tabernacle was erected.
18 Moses erected the tabernacle. He laid its bases, and set up its frames, and put in its poles, and raised up its pillars.
19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
20 He 2took the testimony and put it into the ark, and put the poles on the ark and set the mercy seat above on the ark.
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle and 3set up the veil of the screen, and screened 4the ark of the testimony, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 5He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,
23 and arranged the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 6He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,
25 7and set up the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
26 8He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,
27 and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
28 9He put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.
29 10And 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 11grain offering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
30 12He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,
31 with which Moses and 13Aaron and his sons 14washed 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 15And he erected the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So 16Moses finished the work.
