Exodus 40:16-33 - Moses Sets Up The Tent

16 Thus did Moses. According to all that LORD commanded him, so did he. 17 And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up. 18 And Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and raised up its pillars. 19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it, as LORD commanded Moses.

20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy-seat above upon the ark. 21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony, as LORD commanded Moses.

22 And he put the table in the tent of meeting, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil. 23 And he set the bread in order upon it before LORD, as LORD commanded Moses. 24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25 And he lit the lamps before LORD, as LORD commanded Moses.

26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil, 27 and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as LORD commanded Moses. 28 And he put the screen of the door to 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 meal-offering, as LORD commanded Moses.

30 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it, with which to wash. 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there. 32 They washed when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near to the altar, as LORD commanded Moses.

33 And he raised up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
