Exegesis
The temporal phrase ba-et {בָּעֵ֣ת | bā-ʿēt} ha-hi {הַהִ֑יא | ha-hīy} situates the narrative, and the locative sequence ba-bamah {בַּבָּמָ֖ה | bab-bāmah} be-givon {בְּגִבְעֽוֹן | bə-gībʿōn} specifies cultic elevation and geographic setting. In English the relative clause appears as “that Moses had built” to mirror asher+asah, and “stood” preserves the Hebrew vav-linked subjects in a single statement.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:29
And the tabernacle of the LORD which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were at that time at the high place in Gibeon.
