< Exodus 26 >
1 Make ten curtains for the Tabernacle of finely-spun linen, using blue, purple, and crimson threads. Have them embroidered with cherubim by someone who is skilled.
Afterwarde thou shalt make the Tabernacle with tenne curtaines of fine twined linen, and blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet: and in them thou shalt make Cherubims of broydered worke.
2 Each curtain is to measure twenty-eight cubits long by four cubits wide, and all the curtains are to be the same size.
The length of one curtaine shalbe eight and twentie cubites, and the bredth of one curtaine, foure cubites: euery one of the curtaines shall haue one measure.
3 Join five of the curtains together, and then do the same to the other five.
Fiue curtaines shalbe coupled one to an other: and the other fiue curtaines shall be coupled one to another.
4 Use blue material to make loops on the edge of the last curtain of both sets.
And thou shalt make stringes of blew silke vpon the edge of the one curtaine, which is in the seluedge of the coupling: and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the other curtaine in the seluedge, in the second coupling.
5 Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the last curtain of the second set, lining up the loops with each another.
Fiftie strings shalt thou make in one curtaine, and fiftie stringes shalt thou make in the edge of the curtaine, which is in the second coupling: ye stringes shalbe one right against another.
6 Then make fifty gold clips and join the curtains together with the clips, so that the Tabernacle will be a single structure.
Thou shalt make also fiftie taches of gold, and couple the curtaines one to another with the taches, and it shalbe one tabernacle.
7 Make eleven curtains of goat hair as a tent to cover the Tabernacle.
Also thou shalt make curtaines of goates heare, to be a couering vpon the Tabernacle: thou shalt make them to the number of eleuen curtaines.
8 Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long by four cubits wide.
The length of a curtaine shall be thirtie cubites, and the breadth of a curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines shalbe of one measure.
9 Join five of the curtains together as one set and the other six as another set. Then fold the sixth curtain in two at the front of the tent.
And thou shalt couple fiue curtaynes by themselues, and the sixe curtaines by themselues: but thou shalt double the sixt curtaine vpon the forefront of the couering.
10 Make fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the last curtain in the second set.
And thou shalt make fifty stringes in the edge of one curtayne, in the seluedge of the coupling, and fifty stringes in the edge of the other curtaine in the second coupling.
11 Make fifty bronze clips and put them in the loops to join the tent together as a single cover.
Likewise thou shalt make fifty taches of brasse, and fasten them on the strings, and shalt couple the couering together, that it may be one.
12 The extra half-curtain of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle.
And the remnant that resteth in ye curtaines of the couering, euen the halfe curtaine that resteth, shalbe left at the backeside of the Tabernacle,
13 The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on every side, and the extra length will hang over the sides of the Tabernacle so it is all covered.
That the cubite on the one side, and the cubite on the other side of that which is left in the legth of the curtaines of ye couering, may remaine on either side of the Tabernacle to couer it.
14 Make a covering for the goat hair tent from tanned ram skins, and place an extra covering of fine leather over that.
Moreouer, for that couering thou shalt make a couering of rammes skinnes died red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.
15 Make an upright framework of acacia wood for the Tabernacle.
Also thou shalt make boards for the Tabernacle of Shittim wood to stand vp.
16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long by one and a half cubits wide.
Ten cubites shalbe the length of a boarde, and a cubite and an halfe cubite the breadth of one boarde.
17 Each frame will have two pegs so the frames can be connected to each other. Make all the frames of the Tabernacle like this.
Two tenons shalbe in one boarde set in order as the feete of a ladder, one against an other: thus shalt thou make for all the boardes of the Tabernacle.
18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the Tabernacle.
And thou shalt make boardes for the Tabernacle, euen twenty boardes on the South side, euen full South.
19 Make forty silver stands as supports for the twenty frames using two stands per frame, one under every frame peg.
And thou shalt make fourty sockets of siluer vnder the twentie boardes, two sockets vnder one boarde for his two tenons, and two sockets vnder an other boarde for his two tenons.
20 Similarly for the north side of the Tabernacle, make twenty frames
In like maner on the other side of the Tabernacle towarde the North side shalbe twentie boardes,
21 and forty silver stands, two stands per frame.
And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one boarde, and two sockets vnder another board.
22 Make six frames for the back (west side) of the Tabernacle,
And on the side of the Tabernacle, toward the West shalt thou make sixe boards.
23 along with two frames for its two back corners.
Also two boardes shalt thou make in the corners of the Tabernacle in the two sides.
24 Join these corner frames at the bottom and at the top near to the first ring. This is how you are to make the two corner frames.
Also they shalbe ioyned beneath, and likewise they shalbe ioyned aboue to a ring: thus shall it be for them two: they shalbe for ye two corners.
25 In total there will be eight frames and sixteen silver stands, two under each frame.
So they shalbe eight boardes hauing sockets of siluer, euen sixteene sockets, that is, two sockets vnder one board, and two sockets vnder an other boarde.
26 Make five crossbars of acacia wood to hold together the frames on the south side of the Tabernacle,
The thou shalt make fiue barres of Shittim wood for the boardes of one side of the Tabernacle,
27 five for those on the north, and five for those at the back of the Tabernacle, to the west.
And fiue barres for the boardes of the other side of the Tabernacle: also fiue barres for the boardes of the side of the Tabernacle toward the Westside.
28 The central crossbar which is placed halfway up the frames will run from one end to the other.
And the middle barre shall goe through the middes of the boards, from ende to ende.
29 Cover the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars in place. Cover the crossbars with gold too.
And thou shalt couer the boards with golde, and make their rings of golde, for places for the barres, and thou shalt couer the barres with golde.
30 Assemble the Tabernacle following to the design you were shown on the mountain.
So thou shalt reare vp the Tabernacle, according to the facion thereof, which was shewed thee in the mount.
31 Make a veil out of blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen, embroidered with cherubim by someone who is skilled.
Moreouer, thou shalt make a vaile of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen: thou shalt make it of broydred worke with Cherubims.
32 Using gold hooks hang it from four posts of acacia wood covered with gold, held up by four silver stands.
And thou shalt hang it vpon foure pillars of Shittim wood couered with gold, (whose hookes shalbe of gold) stading vpon foure sockets of siluer.
33 Place the veil under the clips and take the Ark of the Testimony inside behind the veil. The veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
Afterward thou shalt hang the vaile on the hookes, that thou mayest bring in thither, that is (within the vaile) the arke of the Testimonie: and the vaile shall make you a separation betweene the Holy place and the most holy place.
34 Put the atonement cover on the Ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.
Also thou shalt put ye Mercy seate vpon the Arke of the testimonie in the most Holy place.
35 Place the table outside the veil on the north side of the Tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
And thou shalt set the Table without the vaile, and the Candlesticke ouer against the Table on the Southside of the Tabernacle, and thou shalt set the Table on the Northside.
36 Make a screen for the entrance to the tent using blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen. Have it embroidered.
Also thou shalt make an hanging for the dore of ye Tabernacle of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen wrought with needle.
37 Make five posts of acacia wood with gold hooks to hang the screen, and cast five bronze stands to hold them.
And thou shalt make for the hanging fiue pillars of Shittim, and couer them with gold: their heads shalbe of golde, and thou shalt cast fiue sockets of brasse for them.
