Exodus 40:17-27

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.
