The tent
26
📚“And you shall make the tabernacle 📖 with ten curtains of fine woven linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet. You shall make them with cherubim, the work of a skillful craftsman. 2 📚The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. Each of the curtains shall have the same size. 3 📚The five curtains shall be joined to one another, and another five curtains shall be joined to one another. 4 📚And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the outer curtain in one set, and also you shall make them on the edge of the outer curtain in the second set. 5 You shall make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set, so that the loops are opposite one another. 6 📚And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.7 📚“And you shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a covering 📖 on the tabernacle. You shall make eleven such curtains. 8 📚The length of a curtain is to be thirty cubits, and the breadth of a curtain four cubits, and the eleven curtains are to be of the same size. 9 And you shall join five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double the sixth curtain at the front of the tabernacle. 10 And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the outer curtain in the first set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second. 11 📚And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together, so that it may be a unit. 12 And the part that is left over of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13 📚And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of what is left over of 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 you shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and over it a covering of badgers’ skins 📖.
15 📚“And you shall make boards 📖 for the tabernacle out of acacia wood, to stand upright. 16 A board is to be ten cubits in length. A cubit and a half is to be the width of a board. 17 📚Each board will have two tenons, fitted to one another. You shall make all the boards of the tabernacle like this. 18 And so you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side, facing south. 19 📚And 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. 20 And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, there shall be twenty boards, 21 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under each other board. 22 And for the rear of the tabernacle facing west you shall make six boards. 23 And you shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear. 24 📚And they shall be joined together at the bottom, and they shall be joined together at the top of it into one ring. Both of them shall be made this way and they will be for the two corners. 25 So there will be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under every other board.
26 📚“And you shall 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, at the rear, facing west. 28 And the middle bar in the center of the boards shall reach from end to end. 29 📚And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as places for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold.
30 📚“And you shall set up the tabernacle according to its pattern which was shown you on the mountain.
31 📚“And you shall make a veil 📖 of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine woven linen, the work of a skillful craftsman. It shall be made with woven cherubim. 32 📚And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold. The pillars will rest on four sockets of silver. 33 📚And you shall hang up the veil from the clasps, and you shall bring the ark of the Testimony in there behind the veil. And the veil will divide for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. 34 📚And you shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 And you shall put the table outside the veil📚, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south, and you shall put the table on the north side.
36 📚“And for the door 📖 of the tent you shall make a hanging of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine woven linen, made by a worker in embroidery. 37 📚And for the hanging you shall make five pillars of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. Their hooks also are to be of gold. And you shall cast five bronze sockets for them.
