| 1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine
twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of
the skilful workman shalt thou make them. 2 The length of each curtain
shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four
cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure. 3 Five curtains shall be
coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be
coupled one to another. 4 And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge
of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou
make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.
5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt
thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling; the
loops shall be opposite one to another. 6 And thou shalt make fifty clasps
of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the
tabernacle shall be one whole.
7 And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the
tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make them. 8 The length of each
curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits:
the eleven curtains shall have one measure. 9 And thou shalt couple five
curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double over
the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent. 10 And thou shalt make
fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling,
and fifty loops upon the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the
second coupling. 11 And thou shalt make fifty clasps of brass, and put the
clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
12 And the overhanging part that remaineth of the curtains of the tent,
the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the back 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 hang over
the sides of the tabernacle 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 sealskins above.
15 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood,
standing up. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and
a half the breadth of each board. 17 Two tenons shall there be in each
board, joined one to another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the
tabernacle. 18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty
boards for the south side southward. 19 And thou shalt 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. 20 And for
the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,
21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two
sockets under another board. 22 And for the hinder part of the tabernacle
westward thou shalt make six boards. 23 And two boards shalt thou make for
the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part. 24 And they shall be
double beneath, and in like manner they shall be entire unto the top thereof
unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two
corners. 25 And there shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver,
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 tabernacle, 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 hinder part westward. 28 And the middle bar in the
midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end. 29 And thou shalt
overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the
bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold. 30 And thou shalt rear up
the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which hath been showed thee
in the mount.
31 And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen: with cherubim the work of the skilful workman shall it be made.
32 And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold;
their hooks shall be of gold, upon 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 separate unto
you between the holy place and the most holy. 34 And thou shalt put the
mercy-seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. 35 And
thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against
the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put
the table on the north side.
36 And thou shalt make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.
37 And thou shalt make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay
them with gold: their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five
sockets of brass for them.
