23 and set the bread in order on it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 And he put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle,
25 and set up the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,
27 and burnt fragrant incense upon it; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
28 And he put in place the screen for the door of the tabernacle.
29 And he set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the cereal offering; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
30 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing,
31 with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed 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 And he erected the court round the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
