1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman you shall make them.

“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;

2 The length of each curtain shall be forty-one feet four inches, and the breadth of each curtain five feet eleven inches: all the curtains shall have one measure.

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;

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

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

4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling; and likewise you shall make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

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.

5 You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one to another.

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;

6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle shall be a unit.

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.

7 "You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make them eleven curtains.

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

8 The length of each curtain shall be forthy-four feet four inches, and the breadth of each curtain five feet eleven inches: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

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;

9 You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.

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.

10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second coupling.

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;

11 You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

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.

12 The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

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;

13 Eighteen inches on the one side, and eighteen inches on the other side, of that which remains 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.

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;

14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

and you have made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins made red, and a covering of tachashim skins above.

15 "You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

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

16 Seventeen feet three inches shall be the length of a board, and two feet three inches the breadth of each board.

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

17 There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

18 You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

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

19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

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.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,

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

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

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

24 They shall be double beneath, and in like manner they shall be entire to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

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.

25 There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

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 far part westward.

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;

28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

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

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

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;

30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

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

31 "You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. The work of the skillful workman shall it be made.

and you have put it on four pillars of shittim wood, overlaid [with] gold, their pegs [are] of gold, on four sockets of silver.

33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you.

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.

34 You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

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

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the menorah over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

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.
