What were the locations of the tabernacle furniture, from the first room to outside the outer fence?

The tabernacle's first room contained the table of showbread, altar of incense, and candlestick. The inner Holy of Holies held the Ark of the Covenant with the mercy seat. Outside the door stood the laver of cleansing, then the brazen altar, then the outer fence.

Les explains that the tabernacle was divided into two rooms. In the back room, the Holy of Holies, was the Ark of the Covenant with the mercy seat. In the first room were the table of showbread, the altar of incense, and the candlestick. Outside the door was the laver of cleansing, then farther out was the brazen altar, and beyond that was the outer fence. On the Day of Atonement, Aaron the high priest brought three animals, sprinkled blood on the mercy seat for his own sin and Israel's sins, and the scapegoat was taken into the wilderness.
