21. Then he put the box in the Tent and hung up the curtain. In this way he screened off the Covenant Box, just as the Lord had commanded.
22. He put the table in the Tent, on the north side outside the curtain,
23. and placed on it the bread offered to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded.
24. He put the lampstand in the Tent, on the south side, opposite the table,
25. and there in the Lord's presence he lit the lamps, just as the Lord had commanded.
26. He put the gold altar in the Tent, in front of the curtain,
27. and burnt the sweet-smelling incense, just as the Lord had commanded.
28. He hung the curtain at the entrance of the Tent,
29. and there in front of the curtain he placed the altar for burning offerings. On it he sacrificed the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the Lord had commanded.
30. He put the washbasin between the Tent and the altar and filled it with water.
31. Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there
32. whenever they went into the Tent or to the altar, just as the Lord had commanded.
33. Moses set up the enclosure round the Tent and the altar and hung the curtain at the entrance of the enclosure. So he finished all the work.
34. Then the cloud covered the Tent and the dazzling light of the Lord's presence filled it.
35. Because of this, Moses could not go into the Tent.
36. The Israelites moved their camp to another place only when the cloud lifted from the Tent.
37. As long as the cloud stayed there, they did not move their camp.
38. During all their wanderings they could see the cloud of the Lord's presence over the Tent during the day and a fire burning above it during the night.
