Exodus 26
1 “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;
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 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;
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 are joining to one another, and five curtains are joining to one 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 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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 you have made curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the Dwelling Place; you make eleven curtains:
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 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;
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 you have joined the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart, and have doubled the six curtains at the front of the tent.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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;
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 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;
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 you have made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins made red, and a covering of tachashim skins above.
And you shall make for a covering of the tabernacle rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins as coverings above.
15 And you have made the boards for the Dwelling Place of shittim wood, standing up;
And you shall make the posts of the tabernacle of incorruptible wood.
16 ten cubits [is] the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of one board;
Of ten cubits shall you make one post, and the breadth of one post of a cubit and a half.
17 two handles [are] to one board, joined to one another; so you make for all the boards of the Dwelling Place;
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 you have made the boards of the Dwelling Place—twenty boards for the south side southward;
And you shall make posts to the tabernacle, twenty posts on the north side.
19 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.
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 second side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, [are] twenty boards,
And for the next side, towards the south, twenty posts,
21 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another 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 sides of the Dwelling Place westward, you 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 you make two boards for the corners of the Dwelling Place in the two sides.
And you shall make two posts on the corners of the tabernacle behind.
24 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.
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 they have been eight boards, and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another 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 you have made bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the first side of the Dwelling Place,
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 second side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the side of the Dwelling Place at the two sides, 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 one has caused the middle bar in the midst of the boards to reach from end to end;
And let the bar in the middle between the posts go through from the one side to the other side.
29 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;
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 you have raised up the Dwelling Place according to its fashion which you have been shown on the mountain.
And you shall set up the tabernacle according to the pattern showed you in the mount.
31 And you have made a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of a designer; he makes it [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 you have put it on four pillars of shittim wood, overlaid [with] gold, their pegs [are] of gold, on 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 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.
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 you have put the propitiatory covering on 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 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.
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 you have made a covering for the opening of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
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.
37 and you have made five pillars of shittim [wood] for the covering, and have overlaid them [with] gold, their pegs [are] of gold, and you have cast five sockets of bronze for them.”
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.
