Verses 30-33:
Verse 7 gives the instructions for the positions of the laver. It was to be situated directly between the tabernacle and the altar of burnt offering. A line drawn from the altar directly to the ark of the covenant, intersected by a line from the table of shewbread to the lampstand, forms a cross. Thus does the position of the furnishings of the tabernacle picture the sacrificial work of Christ, without which it is impossible for man to come to God (see sketch in Ex 27).
The final act in setting up the tabernacle complex was the setting up of the curtain wall which formed the other courtyard, and the hanging of the curtains which formed the entrance of it.
