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 thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work shalt thou make them.

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

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

Five of the curtains shall be coupled one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled one to another.

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 thou shalt make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain at the end of the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make [them] in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other 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 shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make at the end of the curtain in the other coupling: the loops shall be opposite to one another.

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 thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one [whole].

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

And thou shalt make curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make them.

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 curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits — one measure for the eleven curtains.

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 thou shalt couple five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the front of the tent.

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 thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.

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 thou shalt make fifty clasps of copper, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent, that it may be one [whole].

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 that which remaineth hanging over of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the rear of 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;

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 hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to 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 thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins over [that].

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

And the boards for the tabernacle thou shalt make of acacia-wood, standing up;

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

ten cubits the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of one board.

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

One board shall have two tenons, connected one with the other: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

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

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 thou shalt make forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.

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

And for the other side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards.

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

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

22 And for the sides of the Dwelling Place westward, you make six boards.

And for the rear of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.

23 And you make two boards for the corners of the Dwelling Place in the two sides.

And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;

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 they shall be joined beneath, and together shall be united at the top thereof to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

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 boards, and their bases, of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.

26 And you have made bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the first side of the Dwelling Place,

And thou shalt make bars of acacia-wood; five for the boards of the 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 for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward;

28 and one has caused the middle bar in the midst of the boards to reach from end to end;

and the middle bar in the midst of the boards reaching from one end to the other.

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 thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make [of] gold their rings, the receptacles of the bars, and shalt overlay 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 thou shalt set up the tabernacle according to its fashion, as hath been shewn thee on the mountain.

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 thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; of artistic work shall it be made, with cherubim.

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 thou shalt attach it to four pillars of acacia-wood overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold; they shall be on four bases 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 thou shalt bring the veil under the clasps, and bring in thither, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and the curtain shall make a division to you between the holy [place] and the holiest of all.

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

And thou shalt put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony in the holiest of all.

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 thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the lamp-stand opposite to the table on the side of the tabernacle southward; and thou shalt put the table on the north side.

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 thou shalt make for the entrance of the tent a curtain of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery.

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 thou shalt make for the curtain five pillars of acacia[-wood], and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold; and thou shalt cast five bases of copper for them.
