Exodus 40:28

26 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.

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

29 He placed the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.

30 He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;

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.
