6 "Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting;
6 You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
6 "Place the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering at the door of The Dwelling, the Tent of Meeting.
6 Then you shall set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Exodus 40:6
Commentary on Exodus 40:1-15
(Read Exodus 40:1-15)
When a new year begins, we should seek to serve God better than the year before. In half a year the tabernacle was completed. When the hearts of numbers are earnest in a good cause, much may be done in a short time; and when the commandments of God are continually attended to, as the rule of working, all will be done well. The high-priesthood was in the family of Aaron till Christ came, and in Him, the substance of all these shadows, it continues for ever.
