Exodus 26

1 And you shall make the tabernacle, ten curtains of fine linen spun, and blue and purple, and scarlet spun [with] cherubs; you shall make them with work of a weaver.

And thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work shalt thou make them.

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

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

3 And the five curtains shall be joined one to another, and [the other] five curtains shall be closely connected the one with the other.

Five of the curtains shall be coupled one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled one to another.

4 And you shall make for them loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, on one side for the coupling, and so shall you make on the edge of the outer curtain for the second coupling.

And thou shalt make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain at the end of the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make [them] in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.

5 Fifty loops shall you make for one curtain, and fifty loops shall you make on the part of the curtain answering to the coupling of the second, opposite [each other], corresponding to each other at each point.

Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make at the end of the curtain in the other coupling: the loops shall be opposite to one another.

6 And you shall make fifty golden rings; and you shall join the curtains to each other with the rings, and it shall be one tabernacle.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one [whole].

7 And you shall make for a covering of the tabernacle skins with the hair on, you shall make them eleven skins.

And thou shalt make curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make them.

8 The length of one skin thirty cubits, and the breadth of one skin four cubits: there shall be the same measure to the eleven skins.

The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits — one measure for the eleven curtains.

9 And you shall join the five skins together, and the six skins together; and you shall double the sixth skin in front of the tabernacle.

And thou shalt couple five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the front of the tent.

10 And you shall make fifty loops on the border of one skin, which is in the midst for the joinings; and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the second skin that joins it.

And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.

11 And you shall make fifty brazen rings; and you shall join the rings by the loops, and you shall join the skins, and they shall be one.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of copper, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent, that it may be one [whole].

12 And you shall fix at the end that which is over in the skins of the tabernacle; the half of the skin that is left shall you fold over, according to the overplus of the skins of the tabernacle; you shall fold it over behind the tabernacle.

And that which remaineth hanging over of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the rear of the tabernacle.

13 A cubit on this side, and a cubit on that side of that which remains of the skins, of the length of the skins of the tabernacle: it shall be folding over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and that side, that it may cover it.

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 you shall make for a covering of the tabernacle rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins as coverings above.

And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins over [that].

15 And you shall make the posts of the tabernacle of incorruptible wood.

And the boards for the tabernacle thou shalt make of acacia-wood, standing up;

16 Of ten cubits shall you make one post, and the breadth of one post of a cubit and a half.

ten cubits the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of one board.

17 Two joints shall you make in one post, answering the one to the other: so shall you do to all the posts of the tabernacle.

One board shall have two tenons, connected one with the other: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 And you shall make posts to the tabernacle, twenty posts on the north side.

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

19 And you shall make to the twenty posts forty silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.

And thou shalt make forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.

20 And for the next side, towards the south, twenty posts,

And for the other side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards.

21 and their forty silver sockets: two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.

And their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.

22 And on the back of the tabernacle at the part which is towards the [west] you shall make six posts.

And for the rear of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.

23 And you shall make two posts on the corners of the tabernacle behind.

And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;

24 And it shall be equal below, they shall be equal towards the same part from the heads to one joining; so shall you make to both the two corners, let them be equal.

and they shall be joined beneath, and together shall be united at the top thereof to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 And there shall be eight posts, and their sixteen silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post.

And there shall be eight boards, and their bases, of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.

26 And you shall make bars of incorruptible wood; five to one post on one side of the tabernacle,

And thou shalt make bars of acacia-wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 and five bars to one post on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars to the hinder posts, on the side of the tabernacle towards the sea.

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 westward;

28 And let the bar in the middle between the posts go through from the one side to the other side.

and the middle bar in the midst of the boards reaching from one end to the other.

29 And you shall gild the posts with gold; and you shall make golden rings, into which you shall introduce the bars, and you shall gild the bars with gold.

And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make [of] gold their rings, the receptacles of the bars, and shalt overlay the bars with gold.

30 And you shall set up the tabernacle according to the pattern showed you in the mount.

And thou shalt set up the tabernacle according to its fashion, as hath been shewn thee on the mountain.

31 And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet woven, and fine linen spun: you shall make it cherubs [in] woven work.

And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; of artistic work shall it be made, with cherubim.

32 And you shall set it upon four posts of incorruptible wood overlaid with gold; and their tops [shall be] gold, and their four sockets [shall be] of silver.

And thou shalt attach it to four pillars of acacia-wood overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold; they shall be on four bases of silver.

33 And you shall put the veil on the posts, and you shall carry in there within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a separation for you between the holy and the holy of holies.

And thou shalt bring the veil under the clasps, and bring in thither, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and the curtain shall make a division to you between the holy [place] and the holiest of all.

34 And you shall screen with the veil the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

And thou shalt put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony in the holiest of all.

35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the candlestick opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle; and you shall put the table on the north side of the tabernacle.

And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the lamp-stand opposite to the table on the side of the tabernacle southward; and thou shalt put the table on the north side.

36 And you shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet and fine linen spun, the work of the embroiderer.

And thou shalt make for the entrance of the tent a curtain of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery.

37 And you shall make for the veil five posts, and you shall gild them with gold; and their chapiters shall be gold; and you shall cast for them five brazen sockets.

And thou shalt make for the curtain five pillars of acacia[-wood], and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold; and thou shalt cast five bases of copper for them.
