Exodus 40:16-33
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 Moses did just as the Lord had commanded him. 17 On the first day of the first month of the second year the tabernacle was set up. 18 It was Moses who set up the tabernacle. He placed its pedestals, set up its frames, put in its bars, and set up its columns. 19 He spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering on top of the tent, as the Lord had commanded him. 20 (A)He took the covenant and put it in the ark; he placed poles alongside the ark and set the cover upon it. 21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the curtain veil, thus screening off the ark of the covenant, as the Lord had commanded him. 22 He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil, 23 and arranged the bread on it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.(B) 24 He placed the menorah in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle, 25 and he set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him. 26 He placed the golden altar in the tent of meeting, in front of the veil, 27 and on it he burned fragrant incense, as the Lord had commanded him. 28 He hung the curtain at the entrance of the tabernacle. 29 He put the altar for burnt offerings in front of the entrance of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and sacrificed burnt offerings and grain offerings on it, as the Lord had commanded him. 30 (C)He placed the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it for washing. 31 Moses and Aaron and his sons used to wash their hands and feet there, 32 for they washed themselves whenever they went into the tent of meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 33 Finally, he set up the court around the tabernacle and the altar and hung the curtain at the gate of the court.
Thus Moses finished all the work.

Exodus 40:16-33
New International Version
16 Moses did everything just as the Lord commanded(A) him.
17 So the tabernacle(B) was set up on the first day of the first month(C) in the second year. 18 When Moses(D) set up the tabernacle, he put the bases in place, erected the frames,(E) inserted the crossbars and set up the posts. 19 Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering(F) over the tent, as the Lord commanded(G) him.
20 He took the tablets of the covenant law(H) and placed them in the ark,(I) attached the poles to the ark and put the atonement cover(J) over it. 21 Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain(K) and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded(L) him.
22 Moses placed the table(M) in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain 23 and set out the bread(N) on it before the Lord, as the Lord commanded(O) him.
24 He placed the lampstand(P) in the tent of meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle 25 and set up the lamps(Q) before the Lord, as the Lord commanded(R) him.
26 Moses placed the gold altar(S) in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain 27 and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord commanded(T) him.
28 Then he put up the curtain(U) at the entrance to the tabernacle. 29 He set the altar(V) of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and offered on it burnt offerings and grain offerings,(W) as the Lord commanded(X) him.
30 He placed the basin(Y) between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing, 31 and Moses and Aaron and his sons used it to wash(Z) their hands and feet. 32 They washed whenever they entered the tent of meeting or approached the altar,(AA) as the Lord commanded(AB) Moses.
33 Then Moses set up the courtyard(AC) around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain(AD) at the entrance to the courtyard. And so Moses finished the work.
