We know that Betzalel was
instructed by Moshe Rabbeinu to first build the Keilim and then build the Oihel
Moed, the building that the Keilim would be housed. Betzalel argued that the
housing of the Keilim should be built first. Betzalel did as he thought fit,
and Moshe was amazed. In 40:2 it
says (תָּקִים, אֶת-מִשְׁכַּן אֹהֶל
מוֹעֵד). Then (וְשַׂמְתָּ שָׁם, אֵת אֲרוֹן הָעֵדוּת). Meaning the building was built first.
Then the Keilim were placed inside. By the Chatzeir in Posuk Vav we find (ו וְנָתַתָּה, אֵת מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה, לִפְנֵי,
פֶּתַח מִשְׁכַּן אֹהֶל-מוֹעֵד ז וְנָתַתָּ, אֶת-הַכִּיֹּר,
בֵּין-אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד, וּבֵין הַמִּזְבֵּחַ; וְנָתַתָּ שָׁם, מָיִם ח וְשַׂמְתָּ
אֶת-הֶחָצֵר, סָבִיב; וְנָתַתָּ, אֶת-מָסַךְ שַׁעַר הֶחָצֵר), that the Mitzbach HaOilah and the Kiyar are placed, and then
the Chatzeir is put up as an enclousure around them as is found in Posuk Cheis.
Why is the Chatzeir different in that the Keilim were placed first while the
Chatzeir was made after? If Betzalel finished the construction of the Mishkan
on Chaf Hei Kislev where was everything until now? He must have stored
everything until Rosh Chodesh Nissan, so who cares what was built first?
