This site's exposition

Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses

on Exodus 39:33-41

Everything is carried to Moses and listed piece by piece, from the tent to the courtyard. John Gill reads the bringing as an inspection, so Moses could see whether the work matched the pattern shown on the mountain. The list closes on the woven garments, where the chapter began.

This site's exposition

the Bread of the Presence

The Bread of the Presence is brought with the table, ready before the tent stands. Moses arranges it on the table before the LORD at Exodus 40:23. John Gill reads the bringing as an inspection.

His institutions neither need nor admit men's inventions to make them either more beautiful or more likely to answer the intention of them. Add thou not unto his words. God is pleased with willing worship, but not with will-worship.
