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

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 The five curtains, shall be joined, one to another, and, the other five curtains, joined, one to another.

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

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:

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 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.

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 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.

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 And thou shalt make curtains of goat’s hair, for a tent, over the habitation—eleven curtains, shalt thou make them.

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, thirty cubits, and the breadth, four cubits, of each curtain, —one measure, to the eleven curtains.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 And thou shalt make a covering, for the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badger’s skins, above.

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

15 And thou shalt make boards for the habitation, —of acacia wood to stand up:

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

16 ten cubits, the length of the board, and a cubit and a half cubit 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 two tenons, to each board, united one to another, —thus, shalt thou make, for all the boards of the habitation,

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

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

and you have made the boards of the Dwelling Place—twenty boards for 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.

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 And on the second side of the habitation, towards the north, 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 the one board, and, two sockets, under the next board.

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

22 And for the hinderpart of the habitation, westward, shalt thou make six boards.

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

23 And, two boards, shalt thou make, for the corners of the habitation, —in the hinderpart:

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

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 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 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 have been eight boards, and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 And thou shalt make bars, of acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the one side of the habitation,

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

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

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

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.

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 So shalt thou rear up the habitation, according to the fashion thereof, which thou wast caused to see in the mount.

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

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;

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;

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 you have put it on four pillars of shittim wood, overlaid [with] gold, their pegs [are] of gold, on four 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 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 And thou shalt place the propitiatory, upon 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 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 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.

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.

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;

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 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.”
