26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
26 Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain
26 He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil,
26 Moses placed the Gold Altar in the Tent of Meeting in front of the curtain
26 He put the gold altar in the tabernacle of meeting in front of the veil;
26 He also placed the gold incense altar in the Tabernacle, in the Holy Place in front of the inner curtain.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 40:26
Commentary on Exodus 40:16-33
(Read Exodus 40:16-33)
When the tabernacle and the furniture of it were prepared, they did not put off rearing it till they came to Canaan; but, in obedience to the will of God, they set it up in the midst of their camp. Those who are unsettled in the world, must not think that this will excuse want of religion; as if it were enough to begin to serve God when they begin to be settled in the world. No; a tabernacle for God is very needful, even in a wilderness, especially as we may be in another world before we come to fix in this. And we may justly fear lest we should deceive ourselves with a form of godliness. The thought that so few entered Canaan, should warn young persons especially, not to put off the care of their souls.
