Exodus 40:2

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

3 Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.

4 Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
