Contextual Overview

16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the Lord commanded him, so did he. 17 And it came to passe in the first moneth, in the second yeere, on the first day of the moneth, that the Tabernacle was reared vp. 18 And Moses reared vp the Tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set vp the boards thereof, and put in the barres thereof, and reared vp his pillars. 19 And he spread abroad the tent ouer the Tabernacle, and put the couering of the Tent aboue vpon it, as the Lord commanded Moses. 20 And he tooke and put the testimony into the Arke, and set the staues on the Arke, and put the Mercie-seat aboue vpon the Arke. 21 And he brought the Arke into the Tabernacle, and set vp the Uaile of the couering, and couered the Arke of the Testimony, as the Lord commanded Moses. 22 And hee put the Table in the Tent of the Congregation, vpon the side of the Tabernacle Northwaed, without the Uaile. 23 And he set the bread in order vpon it, before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 24 And he put the candlesticke in the Tent of the Congregation, ouer against the Table, on the side of the Tabernacle Southward. 25 And he lighted the lampes before the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses, and Aaron, and his sons, washed their hands and their feet thereat. This laver was for the priests, and Moses, officiating as a priest, washed in it, with Aaron, and his sons, whom he was now about to consecrate to the priest's office, and invest with it by offering sacrifice for them; Jarchi says this was on the eighth day of the consecration.
