Exodus 40:15-25

15 and (so) that the anointing of them profit into (an) everlasting priesthood.
16 And Moses did all things that the Lord commanded.
17 Therefore in the first month of the second year, in the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set. (And so in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the Tabernacle was set up.)
18 And Moses areared it, and he set (up) the boards, and bases, and bars, and he ordained [the] pillars;
19 and he stretched out the roof upon the tabernacle, and he put a covering above (it), as the Lord commanded. (and he stretched out the tent over the Tabernacle, and he put the coverings over the tent, as the Lord commanded.)
20 He put also the witnessing, that is, the tables of the law, in the ark, and he set the bars within (the rings), and God's answering place above (the ark). (And he put the Witnessing, that is, the tablets of the Law, into the Ark, that is, the Box for the tablets, and he set the bars within the rings, and he put the propitiatory, that is, the mercy seat, or the lid, on the Box.)
21 And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he hanged a veil before it, that he should fulfill the commandment of the Lord. (And when he had brought the Ark into the Tabernacle, he hung up the Veil in front of it, as the Lord commanded him.)
22 He setted also the board in the tabernacle of witnessing, at the north coast, without the veil, (And he put the table in the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, on the north side of the Tabernacle, in front of the Veil,)
23 and he ordained the loaves of setting forth (on the table,) before (the Lord), as the Lord commanded to Moses. (and he placed the loaves of proposition, or the showbread, on the table, before the Lord, as the Lord commanded to Moses.)
24 He set also the candlestick in the tabernacle of witnessing, even against the board, in the south side, (And he set the lamp-stand in the Tabernacle of the Witnessing, opposite the table, on the south side of the Tabernacle,)
25 and he set the lanterns by order, by the commandment of the Lord. (and he set up the lanterns before the Lord, as the Lord commanded him.)

also Aaron and his sons, Ex 40:9-16 all which were accordingly
done, the tabernacle was reared up, and everything was put in its
proper place, Ex 40:16-33 upon which a cloud covered the tent, and
the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle, so that Moses could not
