Context of Exodus 40:16

14You are to bring his sons and clothe them with tunics 15and anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may minister as my priests; their anointing will make them a priesthood that will continue throughout their generations.” This is what Moses did, according to all the Lord had commanded him – so he did. 17So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month, in the second year. 18When Moses set up the tabernacle and put its bases in place, he set up its frames, attached its bars, and set up its posts.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-33The report on setting up the Tent of Meeting starts with the Lord's commands (40:1–15). It continues with how Moses obeyed those commands (40:16–33).
