Exodus 40:17–33

¹⁷And it came to pass in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, that the ^rtabernacle was ³raised up. ¹⁸So Moses raised up the tabernacle, fastened its sockets, set up its boards, put in its bars, and raised up its pillars. ¹⁹And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²⁰He took ^sthe Testimony and put it into the ark, inserted the poles through the rings of the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark. ²¹And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, ^thung up the veil of the covering, and partitioned off the ark of the Testimony, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

^22uHe put the table in the tabernacle of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil; ^23vand he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^24wHe put the lampstand in the tabernacle of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle; ²⁵and ^xhe lit the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^26yHe put the gold altar in the tabernacle of meeting in front of the veil; ^27zand he burned sweet incense on it, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^28aHe hung up the screen at the door of the tabernacle. ^29bAnd he put the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and ^coffered upon it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ^30dHe set the laver between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and put water there for washing; ³¹and Moses, Aaron, and his sons would ^ewash their hands and their feet with water from it. ³²Whenever they went into the tabernacle of meeting, and when they came near the altar, they washed, ^fas the Lord had commanded Moses. ^33gAnd he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the screen of the court gate. So Moses ^hfinished the work.
