The Tabernacle Erected

40 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ² “On the ^(A)first day of the first month you shall ^(B)erect the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. ³ And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall ^(C)screen the ark with the veil. ⁴ And ^(D)you shall bring in the table and arrange it, and ^(E)you shall bring in the lampstand and set up its lamps. ^5 (F)And you shall put the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the screen for the door of the tabernacle. ^6 (G)You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, ^7 (H)and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it. ⁸ And you shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for the gate of the court.
