Exodus 26

1 You must make the tabernacle with ten curtains made from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet wool with the designs of cherubim. This will be the work of a very skilled craftsman.

Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shall you make them.

2 The length of each curtain must be twenty-eight cubits, the width four cubits. All the curtains must be of the same size.

The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure.

3 Five curtains must be joined to each other, and the other five curtains must also be joined to each other.

The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

4 You must make loops of blue along the outer edge of the end curtain of one set. In the same way, you must do the same along the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.

And you shall make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shall you make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

5 You must make fifty loops on the first curtain, and you must make fifty loops on the end curtain in the second set. Do this so that the loops will be opposite to each other.

Fifty loops shall you make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shall you make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.

6 You must make fifty clasps of gold and join the curtains together with them so that the tabernacle becomes united.

And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps: and it shall be one tabernacle.

7 You must make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. You must make eleven of these curtains.

And you shall make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shall you make.

8 The length of each curtain must be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain must be four cubits. Each of the eleven curtains must be of the same size.

The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure.

9 You must join five curtains to each other and the other six curtains to each other. You must double over the sixth curtain in the front of the tent.

And you shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.

10 You must make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the first set, and fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain that joins the second set.

And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is utmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which joins the second.

11 You must make fifty bronze clasps and put them into the loops. Then you join the tent together so that it may be one piece.

And you shall make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 The leftover half curtain, that is, the overhanging part remaining from the tent's curtains, must hang at the back of the tabernacle.

And the remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.

13 There must be one cubit of curtain on one side, and one cubit of curtain on the other side—that which is left over of the length of the tent's curtains must hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other side, to cover it.

And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 You must make for the tabernacle a covering of ram skins dyed red, and another covering of fine leather to go above that.

And you shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.

15 You must make upright frames out of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

And you shall make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.

16 The length of each frame must be ten cubits, and its width must be one and a half cubits.

Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.

17 There must be two wooden pegs in each frame for joining the frames to each other. You are to make all the tabernacle's frames in this way.

Two connections shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shall you make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 When you make the frames for the tabernacle, you must make twenty frames for the south side.

And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.

19 You must make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames. There must be two bases under the first frame to be its two pedestals, and also two bases under each of the other frames for their two pedestals.

And you shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two connections, and two sockets under another board for his two connections.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, you must make twenty frames

And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:

21 and their forty silver bases. There must be two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

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

22 For the back side of the tabernacle on the west side, you must make six frames.

And for the sides of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.

23 You must make two frames for the back corners of the tabernacle.

And two boards shall you make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

24 These frames must be separate at the bottom, but joined at the top to the same ring. It must be this way for both of the back corners.

And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 There must be eight frames, together with their silver bases. There must be sixteen bases in all, two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

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

26 You must make crossbars of acacia wood—five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,

And you shall make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 five crossbars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the frames for the back side of the tabernacle to the west.

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 two sides westward.

28 The crossbar in the center of the frames, that is, halfway up, must reach from end to end.

And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.

29 You must cover the frames with gold. You must make their rings of gold, for them to serve as holders for the crossbars, and you must cover the bars with gold.

And 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.

30 You must set up the tabernacle by following the plan you were shown on the mountain.

And you shall rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was showed you in the mount.

31 You must make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen, with designs of cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

And you shall make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:

32 You must hang it on four pillars of acacia wood covered with gold. These pillars must have hooks of gold set on four silver bases.

And you shall hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.

33 You must hang up the curtain under the clasps, and you must bring in the ark of the testimony. The curtain is to separate the holy place from the most holy place.

And you shall hang up the vail under the clasps, that you may bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.

34 You must put the atonement lid on the ark of the testimony, which is in the most holy place.

And you shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35 You must place the table outside the curtain. You must place the lampstand opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle. The table must be on the north side.

And you shall set the table without the vail, and the candlestick opposite to the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 You must make a hanging for the tent entrance. You must make it out of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer.

And you shall make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.

37 For the hanging, you must make five pillars of acacia and cover them with gold. Their hooks must be of gold, and you must cast five bronze bases for them.

And you shall make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
