Exodus 26

1 Also the habitation shalt thou make, with ten curtains, of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and crimson, with cherubim, the work of a skilful weaver, 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 twenty-eight cubits, and, the breadth four cubits, of each curtain, 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 The five curtains, shall be joined, one to another, and, the other five curtains, joined, 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 border of each curtain, at the edge of the set, —and, thus, shalt thou do in the border of the curtain, that is outmost in the second set:

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, in the one curtain, and fifty loops, shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain which is in the second set, the loops being opposite, one to 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 thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, —so shalt thou join the curtains one to another, with the clasps, and thus shall the habitation be 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 thou shalt make curtains of goat’s hair, for a tent, over the habitation—eleven curtains, shalt thou make them.

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

8 The length of each curtain, thirty cubits, and the breadth, four cubits, of each curtain, —one measure, to 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 join the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves, and thou shalt fold back the sixth curtain, in the forefront 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 thou shalt make fifty loops on the border of the one curtain, that is outmost in the set, and fifty loops on the border of the curtain, of the second set.

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 clasps of bronze, and bring the clasps into the loops, so shalt thou join the tent, and it shall be 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 overplus that remaineth in the curtains of the tent, —the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over at the back of the habitation.

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 of that which remaineth, in the length of the curtains of the tent shall be hung over the sides of the habitation on this side and on that side to make a covering.

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 covering, for the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badger’s 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 boards for the habitation, —of acacia wood to stand up:

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

16 ten cubits, the length of the board, and a cubit and a half cubit the breadth of each board:

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

17 two tenons, to each board, united one to another, —thus, shalt thou make, for all the boards of the habitation,

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 So then thou shalt make the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, on the south side southwards.

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 next 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 on the second side of the habitation, towards the north, 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 next board.

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

22 And for the hinderpart of the habitation, westward, shalt thou 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 habitation, —in the hinderpart:

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

24 that they may be double beneath, and at the same time, they shall be entire on the top thereof, into each ring, —thus, shall it be for them both, 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 So shall they be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, —two sockets, under the one board, and, two sockets, under the next 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 acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the one side of the habitation,

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 habitation, and five bars, for the boards of the side of the habitation, at the hinderpart westward;

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

28 with the middle bar in the midst of the boards, —running along from end to end.

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

29 And the boards, shalt thou overlay with gold, and their rings, shalt thou 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 So shalt thou rear up the habitation, according to the fashion thereof, which thou wast caused to see in 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 veil, of blue and purple, and crimson and fine-twined linen, —of the work of a skilful weaver, 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 acacia overlaid with gold, with their hooks 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 veil under the clasps, —and shalt bring in thither, within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a division for you between the holy [place] and the most holy.

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 place the propitiatory, upon the ark of the testimony, —in the most holy [place].

And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

35 And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table, on the side of the habitation, southward, —and the table, shalt thou place 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 screen for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple and crimson, and fine-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 thou shalt make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and shalt overlay them with gold, and their hooks [shall be] of gold, —and thou shalt cast for them five sockets of bronze.

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.
