Exodus 26

1 And you shall make the tabernacle, ten curtains of fine linen spun, and blue and purple, and scarlet spun [with] cherubs; you shall make them with work of a weaver.

Also the habitation shalt thou make, with ten curtains, of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and crimson, with cherubim, the work of a skilful weaver, shalt thou make them.

2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and one curtain shall be the breadth of four cubits: there shall be the same measure to all the curtains.

The length of each curtain twenty-eight cubits, and, the breadth four cubits, of each curtain, one measure, for all the curtains.

3 And the five curtains shall be joined one to another, and [the other] five curtains shall be closely connected the one with the other.

The five curtains, shall be joined, one to another, and, the other five curtains, joined, one to another.

4 And you shall make for them loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, on one side for the coupling, and so shall you make on the edge of the outer curtain for the second coupling.

And thou shalt make loops of blue on the border of each curtain, at the edge of the set, —and, thus, shalt thou do in the border of the curtain, that is outmost in the second set:

5 Fifty loops shall you make for one curtain, and fifty loops shall you make on the part of the curtain answering to the coupling of the second, opposite [each other], corresponding to each other at each point.

fifty loops, shalt thou make, in the one curtain, and fifty loops, shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain which is in the second set, the loops being opposite, one to another.

6 And you shall make fifty golden rings; and you shall join the curtains to each other with the rings, and it shall be one tabernacle.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, —so shalt thou join the curtains one to another, with the clasps, and thus shall the habitation be one.

7 And you shall make for a covering of the tabernacle skins with the hair on, you shall make them eleven skins.

And thou shalt make curtains of goat’s hair, for a tent, over the habitation—eleven curtains, shalt thou make them.

8 The length of one skin thirty cubits, and the breadth of one skin four cubits: there shall be the same measure to the eleven skins.

The length of each curtain, thirty cubits, and the breadth, four cubits, of each curtain, —one measure, to the eleven curtains.

9 And you shall join the five skins together, and the six skins together; and you shall double the sixth skin in front of the tabernacle.

And thou shalt join the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves, and thou shalt fold back the sixth curtain, in the forefront of the tent.

10 And you shall make fifty loops on the border of one skin, which is in the midst for the joinings; and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the second skin that joins it.

And thou shalt make fifty loops on the border of the one curtain, that is outmost in the set, and fifty loops on the border of the curtain, of the second set.

11 And you shall make fifty brazen rings; and you shall join the rings by the loops, and you shall join the skins, and they shall be one.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of bronze, and bring the clasps into the loops, so shalt thou join the tent, and it shall be one.

12 And you shall fix at the end that which is over in the skins of the tabernacle; the half of the skin that is left shall you fold over, according to the overplus of the skins of the tabernacle; you shall fold it over behind the tabernacle.

And the overplus that remaineth in the curtains of the tent, —the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over at the back of the habitation.

13 A cubit on this side, and a cubit on that side of that which remains of the skins, of the length of the skins of the tabernacle: it shall be folding over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and that side, that it may cover it.

And, the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side of that which remaineth, in the length of the curtains of the tent shall be hung over the sides of the habitation on this side and on that side to make a covering.

14 And you shall make for a covering of the tabernacle rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins as coverings above.

And thou shalt make a covering, for the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badger’s skins, above.

15 And you shall make the posts of the tabernacle of incorruptible wood.

And thou shalt make boards for the habitation, —of acacia wood to stand up:

16 Of ten cubits shall you make one post, and the breadth of one post of a cubit and a half.

ten cubits, the length of the board, and a cubit and a half cubit the breadth of each board:

17 Two joints shall you make in one post, answering the one to the other: so shall you do to all the posts of the tabernacle.

two tenons, to each board, united one to another, —thus, shalt thou make, for all the boards of the habitation,

18 And you shall make posts to the tabernacle, twenty posts on the north side.

So then thou shalt make the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, on the south side southwards.

19 And you shall make to the twenty posts forty silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.

And forty sockets of silver, shalt thou make under the twenty boards, —two sockets under the one board for its two tenons, and two sockets, under the next board, for its two tenons.

20 And for the next side, toward the south, twenty posts,

And on the second side of the habitation, towards the north, twenty boards;

21 and their forty silver sockets: two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.

and their forty sockets of silver, —two sockets, under the one board, and, two sockets, under the next board.

22 And on the back of the tabernacle at the part which is toward the [west] you shall make six posts.

And for the hinderpart of the habitation, westward, shalt thou make six boards.

23 And you shall make two posts on the corners of the tabernacle behind.

And, two boards, shalt thou make, for the corners of the habitation, —in the hinderpart:

24 And it shall be equal below, they shall be equal toward the same part from the heads to one joining; so shall you make to both the two corners, let them be equal.

that they may be double beneath, and at the same time, they shall be entire on the top thereof, into each ring, —thus, shall it be for them both, for the two corners, shall they be.

25 And there shall be eight posts, and their sixteen silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post.

So shall they be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, —two sockets, under the one board, and, two sockets, under the next board.

26 And you shall make bars of incorruptible wood; five to one post on one side of the tabernacle,

And thou shalt make bars, of acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the one side of the habitation,

27 and five bars to one post on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars to the hinder posts, on the side of the tabernacle toward the sea.

and five bars, for the boards of the other side of the habitation, and five bars, for the boards of the side of the habitation, at the hinderpart westward;

28 And let the bar in the middle between the posts go through from the one side to the other side.

with the middle bar in the midst of the boards, —running along from end to end.

29 And you shall gild the posts with gold; and you shall make golden rings, into which you shall introduce the bars, and you shall gild the bars with gold.

And the boards, shalt thou overlay with gold, and their rings, shalt thou make of gold, as receptacles for the bars, —and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.

30 And you shall set up the tabernacle according to the pattern showed you in the mount.

So shalt thou rear up the habitation, according to the fashion thereof, which thou wast caused to see in the mount.

31 And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet woven, and fine linen spun: you shall make it cherubs [in] woven work.

And thou shalt make a veil, of blue and purple, and crimson and fine-twined linen, —of the work of a skilful weaver, shall it be made, with cherubim;

32 And you shall set it upon four posts of incorruptible wood overlaid with gold; and their tops [shall be] gold, and their four sockets [shall be] of silver.

and thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with their hooks of gold, —upon four sockets of silver,

33 And you shall put the veil on the posts, and you shall carry in there within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a separation for you between the holy and the holy of holies.

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 make a division for you between the holy [place] and the most holy.

34 And you shall screen with the veil the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

And thou shalt place the propitiatory, upon the ark of the testimony, —in the most holy [place].

35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the candlestick opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle; and you shall put the table on the north side of the tabernacle.

And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table, on the side of the habitation, southward, —and the table, shalt thou place on the north side.

36 And you shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet and fine linen spun, the work of the embroiderer.

And thou shalt make a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, —the work of an embroiderer.

37 And you shall make for the veil five posts, and you shall gild them with gold; and their chapiters shall be gold; and you shall cast for them five brazen sockets.

And thou shalt make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and shalt overlay them with gold, and their hooks [shall be] of gold, —and thou shalt cast for them five sockets of bronze.
