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.

Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains: of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skilful workman shalt thou make them.

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.

The length of each curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have one measure.

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

Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

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

And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the first set; and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second set.

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 loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one to 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.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one whole.

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

And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shalt thou make them.

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

The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have one 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.

And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double over the sixth curtain in the forefront 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 thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the first set, and fifty loops upon the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second set.

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

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be 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 as for the overhanging part that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth over shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

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 on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remaineth over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

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 thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and a covering of sealskins above.

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

And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up.

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

Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.

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.

Two tenons shall there be in each board, joined one to another; thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward:

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

And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons;

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

and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards.

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

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

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

And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.

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

And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part.

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.

And they shall be double beneath, and in like manner they shall be complete unto the top thereof unto the first ring; thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

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

Thus there shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

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

And thou shalt make bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

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

and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the hinder part westward;

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

and the middle bar in the midst of the boards, which shall pass through 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 thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for holders for the bars; and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.

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

And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which hath been shown thee in the mount.

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 thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; with cherubim the work of the skilful workman shall it be made.

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.

And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks being of gold, upon four sockets of silver.

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 thou shalt hang up the veil under the clasps, and shalt bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall divide unto you 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.

And thou shalt put the ark-cover upon the ark of the testimony in 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 thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and thou shalt put the table 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 thou shalt make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the weaver in colours.

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 thou shalt make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold; and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.
