18 And Moses set up the tabernacle, and put on the chapiters, and put the bars into their places, and set up the posts.
And Moises reiside it, and settide the tablis, and foundementis, and barris, and he ordeynede pilers;
19 And he stretched out the curtains over the tabernacle, and put the veil of the tabernacle on it above as the Lord commanded Moses.
