16 Thus Moses did. According to all that the Lord commanded him, so he did.
17 In the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.
18 Moses erected the tabernacle and fastened its sockets, and set up its boards, and inserted its bars, and erected its pillars.
19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
20 He took the testimony and put it into the ark, attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.
21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screening, and screened the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
22 Then he put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the veil.
