Exodus 26

1 The tabernacle also shalt thou make of ten curtains, of twisted linen thread, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim, of weaver's work shalt thou make them.

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.

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

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.

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

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

4 And thou shalt make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain which is on the outside in the [one] coupling; and the like shalt thou make on the edge of the curtain which is the outmost in the second coupling.

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.

5 Fifty loops shalt thou make on the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling; the loops shall be fixed opposite each other.

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.

6 And thou shalt make fifty hooks of gold; and thou shalt couple the curtains together one unto the other with the hooks, and the tabernacle shall thus be one piece.

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.

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

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

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: there shall be one measure for the eleven curtains.

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.

9 And thou shalt couple five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves; and thou shalt double the sixth curtain toward the front side of the tabernacle.

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.

10 And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is the outmost in the [one] coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second coupling.

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.

11 And thou shalt make fifty hooks of copper; and thou shalt put the hooks into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one piece.

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.

12 And the part hanging over in the excess of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain which is over, shall hang down over the back part of the tabernacle.

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.

13 And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side in the excess in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall be hanging down over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

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.

14 And thou shalt make a cover for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a cover of badgers' skins above.

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

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

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

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

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

17 There shall be two tenons for every board, fitted in, one against the other: the like shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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.

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

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

19 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 other board for its two tenons.

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.

20 And for the other side of the tabernacle, for the north side, there shall be twenty boards;

And for the next side, towards the south, twenty posts,

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

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.

22 And for the back wall of the tabernacle, westward, thou shalt make six boards.

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

23 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the back wall.

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

24 And they shall be closely fitting together beneath, and they shall be closely joined together on the top by means of one ring: thus shall it be for both of them; for the two corners shall they be.

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

25 And so they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board.

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.

26 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle;

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

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 back wall, westward;

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 towards the sea.

28 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards, passing from the one end to the other end.

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

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

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.

30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle, according to the fashion thereof, which thou hast been shown on the mount.

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

31 And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen, of weavers' work shall it be made, with cherubim.

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.

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

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.

33 And thou shalt hang up the vail under the hooks; and thou shalt bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony; and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the holy of holies.

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.

34 And thou shalt put the cover upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

And you shall screen with the veil 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 the table thou shalt put on the north side.

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.

36 And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; the work of the embroiderer.

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.
