Exodus 40:16-34

16Moses did everything just as the LORD commanded him. 17So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month in the second year. 18When Moses set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames, inserted the crossbars and set up the posts.

19Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, as the LORD commanded him. 20He took the tablets of the covenant law and placed them in the ark, attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover over it.

21Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the LORD commanded him. 22Moses placed the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain

23and set out the bread on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him. 24He placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle

25and set up the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded him. 26Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain

27and burned fragrant incense on it, as the LORD commanded him. 28Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

29He set the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings, as the LORD commanded him. 30He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, 31and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash their hands and feet.

32They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

The Glory of the LORD 34Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
