Exodus 26

1 And thou shalt make the tabernacle in this manner: Thou shalt make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, diversified with embroidery.

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.

2 The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, the breadth shall be four cubits. All the curtains shall be of one measure.

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

3 Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.

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

4 Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to another.

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;

5 Every curtain shall have fifty loops on both sides, so set on, that one loop may be against another loop, and one may be fitted to the other.

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

6 Thou shalt make also fifty rings of gold wherewith the veils of the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.

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

7 Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.

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

8 The length of one hair curtain shall be thirty cubits: and the breadth four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.

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

9 Five of which thou shalt couple by themselves, and the six others thou shalt couple one to another, so as to double the sixth curtain in the front of the roof.

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.

10 Thou shalt make also fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, that it may be joined with the other: and fifty loops in the edge of the other curtain, that it may be coupled with its fellow.

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.

11 Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.

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

12 And that which shall remain of the curtains, that are prepared for the roof, to wit, one curtain that is over and above, with the half thereof thou shalt cover the back parts of the tabernacle.

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.

13 And there shall hang down a cubit on the one side, and another on the other side, which is over and above in the length of the curtains, fencing both sides of the tabernacle.

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.

14 Thou shalt make also another cover to the roof, of rams’ skins dyed red; and over that again another cover of violet coloured skins.

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

15 Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim wood.

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

16 Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth on cubit and a half.

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

17 In the sides of the boards shall be made two mortises, whereby one board may be joined to another board: and after this manner shall all the boards be prepared.

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

18 Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.

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

19 For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.

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

20 In the second side also the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,

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

21 Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under each board.

With their forty silver bases, two under every board.

22 But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six boards.

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

23 And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.

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

24 And they shall be joined together from beneath unto the top, and one joint shall hold them all. The like joining shall be observed for the two boards also that are to be put in the corners.

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

25 And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.

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

26 Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.

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

27 And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:

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

28 And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards from one end to the other.

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

29 The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and shall cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to hold together boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of gold.

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.

30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewn thee in the mount.

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

31 Thou shalt make also a veil of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidered work, and goodly variety:

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:

32 And thou shalt hang it up before four pillars of setim wood, which themselves also shall be overlaid with gold, and shall have heads of gold, but sockets of silver.

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

33 And the veils shall be hanged on with rings, and within it thou shalt put the ark of the testimony, and the sanctuary, and the holy of holies shall be divided with it.

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.

34 And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

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

35 And the table without the veil: and over against the table the candlestick in the south side of the tabernacle; for the table shall stand in the north side.

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.

36 Thou shalt make also a hanging in the entrance of the tabernacle of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen with embroidered work.

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.

37 And thou shalt overlay with gold five pillars of setim wood, before which the hanging shall be drawn: their heads shall be of gold, and the sockets of brass.

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.
