Exodus 40:8

6 Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.

7 And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.

9 Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.

10 Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.

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.
