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 thou shalt make the tabernacle in this manner: Thou shalt make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, diversified with embroidery.

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 twenty-eight cubits, the breadth shall be four cubits. All the curtains shall be of one measure.

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

Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.

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.

Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to another.

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.

Every curtain shall have fifty loops on both sides, so set on, that one loop may be against another loop, and one may be fitted to the other.

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.

Thou shalt make also fifty rings of gold wherewith the veils of the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.

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

Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.

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 hair curtain shall be thirty cubits: and the breadth four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.

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.

Five of which thou shalt couple by themselves, and the six others thou shalt couple one to another, so as to double the sixth curtain in the front of the roof.

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.

Thou shalt make also fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, that it may be joined with the other: and fifty loops in the edge of the other curtain, that it may be coupled with its fellow.

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.

Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.

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 that which shall remain of the curtains, that are prepared for the roof, to wit, one curtain that is over and above, with the half thereof thou shalt cover the back parts of 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.

And there shall hang down a cubit on the one side, and another on the other side, which is over and above in the length of the curtains, fencing both sides of the tabernacle.

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

Thou shalt make also another cover to the roof, of rams’ skins dyed red; and over that again another cover of violet coloured skins.

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

Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim 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.

Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth on 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.

In the sides of the boards shall be made two mortises, whereby one board may be joined to another board: and after this manner shall all the boards be prepared.

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

Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.

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.

For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.

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

In the second side also the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,

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

Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under each board.

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

But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six boards.

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

And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.

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 they shall be joined together from beneath unto the top, and one joint shall hold them all. The like joining shall be observed for the two boards also that are to be put in the corners.

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 they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.

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

Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards 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 others on the other side, and as many at the west side:

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

And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards from one end to the other.

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.

The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and shall cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to hold together boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of gold.

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

And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewn thee 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.

Thou shalt make also a veil of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidered work, and goodly variety:

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 thou shalt hang it up before four pillars of setim wood, which themselves also shall be overlaid with gold, and shall have heads of gold, but sockets 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 the veils shall be hanged on with rings, and within it thou shalt put the ark of the testimony, and the sanctuary, and the holy of holies shall be divided with it.

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

And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon 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 the table without the veil: and over against the table the candlestick in the south side of the tabernacle; for the table shall stand in the north side.

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.

Thou shalt make also a hanging in the entrance of the tabernacle of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen with embroidered work.

37 And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, their hooks also shall be of gold; and thou shalt cast for them five sockets of copper.

And thou shalt overlay with gold five pillars of setim wood, before which the hanging shall be drawn: their heads shall be of gold, and the sockets of brass.
