22 Moses placed the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle outside the curtain
22 And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
22 He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil,
22 He placed the Table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of The Dwelling, outside the curtain,
22 He put the table in the tabernacle of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil;
22 Next Moses placed the table in the Tabernacle, along the north side of the Holy Place, just outside the inner curtain.

Commentary on Exodus 40:16-33
(Read Exodus 40:16-33)
When the tabernacle and the furniture of it were prepared, they did not put off rearing it till they came to Canaan; but, in obedience to the will of God, they set it up in the midst of their camp. Those who are unsettled in the world, must not think that this will excuse want of religion; as if it were enough to begin to serve God when they begin to be settled in the world. No; a tabernacle for God is very needful, even in a wilderness, especially as we may be in another world before we come to fix in this. And we may justly fear lest we should deceive ourselves with a form of godliness. The thought that so few entered Canaan, should warn young persons especially, not to put off the care of their souls.
