This site's exposition

he reared up the court round about the tabernacle

The sentence that closes the building is the sentence that closed creation. Genesis 2:2 says God ended his work on the seventh day, Exodus 39:32 matches Genesis 2:1 on the work being finished, and Exodus 39:43 matches Genesis 1:31 on the maker looking at all that was made. The instructions themselves came in seven divine speeches at 25:1, 30:11, 30:17, 30:22, 30:34, 31:1 and 31:12, and the seventh of them is the sabbath.

So Moses finished the work--Though it is not expressly recorded in this passage, yet, from what took place on all similar occasions, there is reason to believe that on the inauguration day the people were summoned from their tents--were all drawn up as a vast assemblage, yet in calm and orderly arrangement, around the newly erected tabernacle.
