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

The tabernacle also shalt thou make of ten curtains, of twisted linen thread, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim, of weaver's work shalt thou make them.

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.

The length of each curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: there shall be one measure for all the curtains.

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

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

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

And thou shalt make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain which is on the outside in the [one] coupling; and the like shalt thou make on the edge of the curtain which is the outmost in the second coupling.

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 another.

Fifty loops shalt thou make on the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling; the loops shall be fixed opposite each other.

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

And thou shalt make fifty hooks of gold; and thou shalt couple the curtains together one unto the other with the hooks, and the tabernacle shall thus be one piece.

7 “You shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.

And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shalt thou make the same.

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.

And thou shalt couple five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves; and thou shalt double the sixth curtain toward the front side of the tabernacle.

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

And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is the outmost in the [one] coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second coupling.

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 thou shalt make fifty hooks of copper; and thou shalt put the hooks into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one piece.

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 part hanging over in the excess of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain which is over, shall hang down over the back part of the tabernacle.

13 The cubit on the one side and the cubit 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 the one side, and the cubit on the other side in the excess in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall be hanging down over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board.

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

There shall be two tenons for every board, fitted in, one against the other: the like shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side, on the right.

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 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 other board for its two tenons.

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

And for the other side of the tabernacle, for the north side, there shall be twenty boards;

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

And they shall be closely fitting together beneath, and they shall be closely joined together on the top by means of one ring: thus shall it be for both of them; for the two corners shall they be.

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 side westward.

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 back wall, westward;

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

And the middle bar in the midst of the boards, passing from the one end to the other end.

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

And the boards thou shalt overlay with gold, and their rings thou shalt make of gold, as receptacles for the bars; and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.

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

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks also shall be of gold; upon four sockets of silver.

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

And thou shalt hang up the vail under the hooks; and thou shalt bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony; and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the holy of holies.

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

And thou shalt put the cover upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lamp stand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. You shall put the table on the north side.

And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle, toward the south; and the table thou shalt put on the north side.
