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

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

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

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.

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

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;

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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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;

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 you have made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins made red, and a covering of tachashim 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 you have made the boards for the Dwelling Place of shittim wood, standing up;

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

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

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

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

Of which twenty shall be in 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.

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 second side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, [are] 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 one board, and two sockets under another board.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 others on the other side, and as many at the west side:

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

And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards 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;

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 you have raised up the Dwelling Place according to its fashion which you have been shown on the mountain.

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

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 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 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 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 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 you have put the propitiatory covering on 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 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 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 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;

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 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 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.
