set the altar of the burnt offering

on Exodus 40:6-8

Outside the tent the order keeps running outward, the altar of burnt offering at the door, the laver between the altar and the tent, then the court and the hanging at its gate. A man bringing a sacrifice met these in the reverse of the order they were set up in, gate first and the door of the tent last. Exodus 27:9-19 gave that court its measure of a hundred cubits by fifty, so the whole dwelling stood inside a fence of fine twined linen.
