Exodus 26

1 And you are to make a House for me, with ten curtains of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman.

“And you make the Dwelling Place [with] ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet; [with] cherubim, the work of a designer, you make them;

2 Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

the length of the one curtain [is] twenty-eight by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain [is] four by the cubit, one measure [is] for all the curtains;

3 Five curtains are to be joined together, and the other five are to be joined together.

five of the curtains are joining to one another, and five curtains are joining to one another.

4 And you are to put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group of five, and on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group of five;

And you have made loops of blue on the edge of the first curtain, at the end in the joining; and so you make in the edge of the outermost curtain, in the joining of the second.

5 Fifty twists on one curtain and fifty on the other, the twists to be opposite one another.

You make fifty loops in the first curtain, and you make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second, causing the loops to take hold to one another;

6 Then make fifty gold hooks, joining the curtains together by the hooks, and in this way the House will be made.

and you have made fifty hooks of gold, and have joined the curtains to one another by the hooks, and the Dwelling Place has been one.

7 And you are to make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the House, eleven curtains.

And you have made curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the Dwelling Place; you make eleven curtains:

8 Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

the length of one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four by the cubit; one measure [is] for the eleven curtains;

9 Five of these curtains are to be joined together, and the other six are to be joined together, the sixth being folded over to make a hanging in front of the tent.

and you have joined the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart, and have doubled the six curtains at the front of the tent.

10 And you are to put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of one group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the other group.

And you have made fifty loops on the edge of the first curtain, the outermost in the joining, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;

11 Then make fifty brass hooks and put the hooks into the twists, joining the tent together to make it one.

and you have made fifty hooks of bronze, and have brought in the hooks into the loops, and have joined the tent, and it has been one.

12 And the folded part which is over of the curtains of the tent, the half-curtain which is folded back, will be hanging down over the back of the House.

And the excess remaining in the curtains of the tent—the half of the curtain which is remaining—has spread over the back part of the Dwelling Place;

13 And the cubit which is over of the ten curtains at the sides will be hanging over the two sides of the House as a cover.

and the cubit on this [side], and the cubit on that [side], in the remaining [part] of the length of the curtains of the tent, is spread out over the sides of the Dwelling Place, on this [side] and on that [side], to cover it;

14 And then you are to make a cover for the tent, of sheepskins coloured red, and a cover of leather over that.

and you have made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins made red, and a covering of tachashim skins above.

15 And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.

And you have made the boards for the Dwelling Place of shittim wood, standing up;

16 Every board is to be ten cubits high and a cubit and a half wide.

ten cubits [is] the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of one board;

17 Every board is to be joined to the one nearest to it by two tongues, and so for every board in the House.

two handles [are] to one board, joined to one another; so you make for all the boards of the Dwelling Place;

18 These are the boards needed for the house; twenty boards for the south side,

and you have made the boards of the Dwelling Place—twenty boards for the south side southward;

19 With forty silver bases under the twenty boards, two bases under every board to take its tongues.

and you make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.

20 And twenty boards for the second side of the house on the north,

And for the second side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, [are] twenty boards,

21 With their forty silver bases, two under every board.

and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22 And six boards for the back of the House on the west,

And for the sides of the Dwelling Place westward, you make six boards.

23 With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

And you make two boards for the corners of the Dwelling Place in the two sides.

24 The two are to be joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, forming the two angles.

And they are pairs beneath, and together they are pairs above its head to one ring; so is it for them both, they are for the two corners.

25 So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.

And they have been eight boards, and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

And you have made bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the first side of the Dwelling Place,

27 And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

and five bars for the boards of the second side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the side of the Dwelling Place at the two sides, westward;

28 And the middle rod is to go through the rings of all the boards from end to end.

and one has caused the middle bar in the midst of the boards to reach from end to end;

29 And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

and you overlay the boards [with] gold, and you make their rings of gold [for] places for bars, and have overlaid their bars with gold;

30 And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

and you have raised up the Dwelling Place according to its fashion which you have been shown on the mountain.

31 And you are to make a veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman:

And you have made a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of a designer; he makes it [with] cherubim;

32 Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.

and you have put it on four pillars of shittim wood, overlaid [with] gold, their pegs [are] of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.

And you have put the veil under the hooks, and have brought in the Ark of the Testimony there within the veil; and the veil has made a separation for you between the holy and the Holy of Holies.

34 You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.

And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark of the Testimony in the Holy of Holies.

35 And outside the veil you are to put the table, and the support for the lights opposite the table on the south side of the House; and the table is to be on the north side.

And you have set the table at the outside of the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the Dwelling Place southward, and you put the table on the north side.

36 And you are to make a curtain for the doorway of the Tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red.

And you have made a covering for the opening of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

37 And make five pillars for the curtain, of hard wood plated with gold; their hooks are to be of gold and their bases of brass.

and you have made five pillars of shittim [wood] for the covering, and have overlaid them [with] gold, their pegs [are] of gold, and you have cast five sockets of bronze for them.”
