Exodus 40:13-23 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

13. You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me.

14. You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them;

15. and you shall anoint them even as you have anointed their father, that they may minister as priests to Me; and their anointing will qualify them for a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations."

16. Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

17. Now 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 laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and inserted its bars and erected its pillars.

19. He spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

20. Then he took the testimony and put it into the ark, and attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.

21. He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up a veil for the screen, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22. Then he put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

23. He set the arrangement of bread in order on it before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
