Exodus 40:26

24 He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle

25 and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.

Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,

27 and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.

28 Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.

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.
