Contextual Overview

16 And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath done. 17 And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been raised up; 18 and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and raiseth its pillars, 19 and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 20 And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on the ark above; 21 and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 22 And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail, 23 and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread, before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 24 And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward, 25 and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath 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.
