Exodus 40:17-33

New International Version

¹⁷ So the tabernacle^(A) was set up on the first day of the first month^(B) in the second year. ¹⁸ When Moses^(C) set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames,^(D) inserted the crossbars and set up the posts. ¹⁹ Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering^(E) over the tent, as the Lord commanded^(F) him.

²⁰ He took the tablets of the covenant law^(G) and placed them in the ark,^(H) attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover^(I) over it. ²¹ Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain^(J) and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded^(K) him.

²² Moses placed the table^(L) in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain ²³ and set out the bread^(M) on it before the Lord, as the Lord commanded^(N) him.

²⁴ He placed the lampstand^(O) in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle ²⁵ and set up the lamps^(P) before the Lord, as the Lord commanded^(Q) him.

²⁶ Moses placed the gold altar^(R) in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain ²⁷ and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord commanded^(S) him.

²⁸ Then he put up the curtain^(T) at the entrance to the tabernacle. ²⁹ He set the altar^(U) of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings,^(V) as the Lord commanded^(W) him.

³⁰ He placed the basin^(X) between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, ³¹ and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash^(Y) their hands and feet. ³² They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar,^(Z) as the Lord commanded^(AA) Moses.

³³ Then Moses set up the courtyard^(AB) around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain^(AC) at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.
