Exodus Chapter 26

1And you will make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, with blue and purple and scarlet dye; you will make them with cherubim, as the work of a damask weaver. 2The length of one curtain will be twenty-eight cubits, and the width will be four cubits per curtain. There will be one size for all the curtains. 3There will be five curtains joined one to another, then five curtains joined one to another. 4And you will make loops of blue material on the hem of one curtain, at the edge with the adjoining one, and you will do likewise on the hem of the last curtain, at the second join. 5You will make fifty loops on one curtain, and you will make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is at the second join, so that the loops hold each other together. 6And you will make fifty clasps of gold, and you will join the curtains to each other by the clasps so that the tabernacle becomes a unity. 7And you will make curtains of goat's hair, as a tent over the tabernacle. You will make eleven such curtains. 8The length of one curtain will be thirty cubits, and the width will be four cubits per curtain. There will be one size for the eleven curtains. 9And you will join five curtains separately, and six curtains separately, and you will fold the sixth curtain double towards the front of the tent. 10And you will make fifty loops on the hem of one curtain – the last one to the adjoining one – and fifty loops on the hem of the other adjoining curtain. 11And you will make fifty copper clasps, and you will bring the clasps through the loops so that you join the tent up so that it becomes a unity. 12And the superfluous part of the curtains of the tent which remains – the half curtain which remains – will be draped over at the back of the tabernacle. 13And the cubit on one side and the cubit on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent will be draped over at the side of the tabernacle on each side to cover it. 14And you will make the covering for the tent from rams' skins dyed red, with a covering from badgers' skins above it. 15And you will make the boards for the tabernacle from acacia wood, to be standing vertically. 16The length of one board will be ten cubits, and the width of one board will be one and a half cubits. 17Two tenons per board will each be joined to its counterpart. This is how you shall make it for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18And you will make twenty boards for the tabernacle on the south side, south-facing. 19And you will make forty silver sockets to go under the twenty boards – two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. 20And the second side of the tabernacle – the north side – will have twenty boards. 21And you will make forty silver sockets for them, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 22And for the flank of the tabernacle to the west you will make six boards. 23And you will make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle on its flanks, 24and they will be coupled from below, and they will be perfectly aligned up to the top of it, to a ring. The two of them will be made this way; they will be at the two corners. 25And there will be eight boards and their silver sockets – sixteen sockets – two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 26And you will make bolts of acacia wood: five bolts for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 27and five bolts for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bolts for the boards of the side of the tabernacle on the west flank. 28And the middle bolt inside the boards will pass from end to end. 29You will overlay the boards with gold, and you will make their rings from gold, as receptacles for the bolts, and you will overlay the bolts with gold. 30So you will set up the tabernacle according to its blueprint which you were shown on the mountain. 31And you will make a veil of blue, purple and scarlet thread and fine twined linen – the work of a damask weaver. It will be made with cherubim. 32And you will put it on four acacia wood columns, overlaid with gold, with their golden hooks on four silver sockets. 33And you will put the veil under the clasps, and you will bring the ark of the testimony there inside the veil, and the veil will be a demarcation for you between the holy place and the holy of holies. 34And you will put the atonement cover on the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies. 35And you will put the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle, and you will put the table on the north side. 36And you will make a screen for the door of the tent from blue and purple and scarlet thread, and fine twined linen, the workmanship of an embroiderer. 37And you will make five columns of acacia wood for the screen, and you will overlay them with gold, and their hooks will be of gold, and you will cast five copper sockets for them.
