Exodus 26

1 MOREOVER thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.

“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 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one 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 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

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

4 And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

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 loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of 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 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.

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 thou shalt make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.

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

8 The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one 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 And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.

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 thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

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 And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be 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 remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.

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

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 thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers’ skins.

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

15 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.

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

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

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

17 Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.

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

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

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 for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:

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

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

24 And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

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 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

27 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 two sides westward.

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 bar in the midst of the boards shall reach 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 thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars 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 thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.

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

31 And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:

32 And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.

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 thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you 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 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

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

35 And thou shalt set the table without the vail, 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.

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.
