Exodus 26

1 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.

“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

2 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.

Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide —all curtains the same size.

3 Fiue curtaines shalbe coupled one to an other: and the other fiue curtaines shall be coupled one to another.

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

4 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.

Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

5 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.

Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

6 Thou shalt make also fiftie taches of gold, and couple the curtaines one to another with the taches, and it shalbe one tabernacle.

Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

7 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.

You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

8 The length of a curtaine shall be thirtie cubites, and the breadth of a curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines shalbe of one measure.

Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

9 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.

Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

10 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.

Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

11 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.

Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.

12 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,

As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

13 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.

And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.

14 Moreouer, for that couering thou shalt make a couering of rammes skinnes died red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.

Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

15 Also thou shalt make boards for the Tabernacle of Shittim wood to stand vp.

You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

16 Ten cubites shalbe the length of a boarde, and a cubite and an halfe cubite the breadth of one boarde.

Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

17 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.

Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

18 And thou shalt make boardes for the Tabernacle, euen twenty boardes on the South side, euen full South.

Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,

19 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.

with forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

20 In like maner on the other side of the Tabernacle towarde the North side shalbe twentie boardes,

For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames

21 And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one boarde, and two sockets vnder another board.

and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.

22 And on the side of the Tabernacle, toward the West shalt thou make sixe boards.

Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

23 Also two boardes shalt thou make in the corners of the Tabernacle in the two sides.

and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,

24 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.

coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.

25 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.

So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

26 The thou shalt make fiue barres of Shittim wood for the boardes of one side of the Tabernacle,

You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

27 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.

five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

28 And the middle barre shall goe through the middes of the boards, from ende to ende.

The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.

29 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.

Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

30 So thou shalt reare vp the Tabernacle, according to the facion thereof, which was shewed thee in the mount.

So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

31 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.

Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

32 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.

Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

33 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.

And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34 Also thou shalt put ye Mercy seate vpon the Arke of the testimonie in the most Holy place.

Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

35 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.

And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.

36 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.

For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

37 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.

Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold hooks, and cast five bronze bases for them.
