 1 Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined bleached linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet. Make them with cherubim, of the work of a cunning workman. 2 The length of one curtain shall be 28 cubits, and the width of one curtain four cubits. And every one of the curtains shall have one measure. 3 The five curtains shall be coupled together, each to its sister. And five curtains shall be coupled together, each to its sister. 4 Make loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, from the end at the juncture. And so you shall do at the edge of the last curtain, at the second juncture. 5 Make 50 loops in the one curtain, and you shall make 50 loops in the end of the curtain that is at second juncture, the corresponding loops each to her sister. 6 Make 50 clasps of gold, and you shall join the curtains each to her sister by the clasps. It shall be one tabernacle. 7 Make curtains of goats' hair to be a tent over the tabernacle. Make eleven curtains. 8 The length of one curtain shall be 30 cubits, and the width of one curtain four cubits, one measure to the eleven curtains. 9 You shall join five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. And you shall double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle. 10 Make 50 loops on the edge of one curtain, the last at the juncture, and 50 loops in the edge of the curtain that joins second. 11 Make 50 clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, so that it may be one. 12 The rest that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle. 13 The cubit from this side and the cubit from that side that remains in the length of the curtains of the tent shall be hung over the sides of the tabernacle from this and from that side to cover it. 14 Make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and a covering above of fine leather. 15 Make boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood standing up. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of one board, and a cubit and a half shall be the width of one board. 17 There shall be two pins in one board, each connected to its sister piece. So you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18 Make the boards for the tabernacle, 20 boards on the south side southward. 19 Make 40 sockets of silver under the 20 boards, two sockets under one board for its two pins, and two sockets under another board for its two pins. 20 For the second side of the tabernacle on the north side shall be 20 boards, 21 and their 40 sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 22 For the sides of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards. 23 Make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the sides. 24 They shall be coupled together beneath and coupled together above the head of it to one ring. So it shall be for them both, for the two corners. 25 There shall be eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board. 26 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 side of the tabernacle, for the two sides westward. 28 The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end. 29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and you shall make their rings of gold, housings for the bars. And you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30 You shall rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern of it that was shown to you in the mountain. 31 Make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined bleached linen of embroidered work. It shall be made with cherubim. 32 You shall hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver. 33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps so that you may bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. The veil shall divide for you between the holy place and the Holy of Holies. 34 You shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the Holy of Holies. 35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south. And you shall put the table on the north side. 36 Make a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined bleached linen, worked with needlework. 37 Make five pillars of acacia wood for the screen, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold. And you shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
