EXODUS 40:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.”
Then Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and altar and put up the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work. The courtyard enclosure is set up — the outermost boundary of the sacred space. And then: so Moses finished the work. The completion statement closes the installation narrative in the same way Genesis 2:1–2 closes the creation narrative: the work that God commanded is finished. The tabernacle's installation is a new creation, the world of covenant worship fully established in the wilderness.
