Exodus 26

1 You must make the tabernacle with ten curtains made from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet wool with the designs of cherubim. This will be the work of a very skilled craftsman.

Also the habitation shalt thou make, with ten curtains, of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and crimson, with cherubim, the work of a skilful weaver, shalt thou make them.

2 The length of each curtain must be twenty-eight cubits, the width four cubits. All the curtains must be of the same size.

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

3 Five curtains must be joined to each other, and the other five curtains must also be joined to each other.

The five curtains, shall be joined, one to another, and, the other five curtains, joined, one to another.

4 You must make loops of blue along the outer edge of the end curtain of one set. In the same way, you must do the same along the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.

And thou shalt make loops of blue on the border of each curtain, at the edge of the set, —and, thus, shalt thou do in the border of the curtain, that is outmost in the second set:

5 You must make fifty loops on the first curtain, and you must make fifty loops on the end curtain in the second set. Do this so that the loops will be opposite to each other.

fifty loops, shalt thou make, in the one curtain, and fifty loops, shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain which is in the second set, the loops being opposite, one to another.

6 You must make fifty clasps of gold and join the curtains together with them so that the tabernacle becomes united.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, —so shalt thou join the curtains one to another, with the clasps, and thus shall the habitation be one.

7 You must make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. You must make eleven of these curtains.

And thou shalt make curtains of goat’s hair, for a tent, over the habitation—eleven curtains, shalt thou make them.

8 The length of each curtain must be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain must be four cubits. Each of the eleven curtains must be of the same size.

The length of each curtain, thirty cubits, and the breadth, four cubits, of each curtain, —one measure, to the eleven curtains.

9 You must join five curtains to each other and the other six curtains to each other. You must double over the sixth curtain in the front of the tent.

And thou shalt join the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves, and thou shalt fold back the sixth curtain, in the forefront of the tent.

10 You must make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the first set, and fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain that joins the second set.

And thou shalt make fifty loops on the border of the one curtain, that is outmost in the set, and fifty loops on the border of the curtain, of the second set.

11 You must make fifty bronze clasps and put them into the loops. Then you join the tent together so that it may be one piece.

And thou shalt make fifty clasps of bronze, and bring the clasps into the loops, so shalt thou join the tent, and it shall be one.

12 The leftover half curtain, that is, the overhanging part remaining from the tent's curtains, must hang at the back of the tabernacle.

And the overplus that remaineth in the curtains of the tent, —the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over at the back of the habitation.

13 There must be one cubit of curtain on one side, and one cubit of curtain on the other side—that which is left over of the length of the tent's curtains must hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other side, to 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 be hung over the sides of the habitation on this side and on that side to make a covering.

14 You must make for the tabernacle a covering of ram skins dyed red, and another covering of fine leather to go above that.

And thou shalt make a covering, for the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badger’s skins, above.

15 You must make upright frames out of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

And thou shalt make boards for the habitation, —of acacia wood to stand up:

16 The length of each frame must be ten cubits, and its width must be one and a half cubits.

ten cubits, the length of the board, and a cubit and a half cubit the breadth of each board:

17 There must be two wooden pegs in each frame for joining the frames to each other. You are to make all the tabernacle's frames in this way.

two tenons, to each board, united one to another, —thus, shalt thou make, for all the boards of the habitation,

18 When you make the frames for the tabernacle, you must make twenty frames for the south side.

So then thou shalt make the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, on the south side southwards.

19 You must make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames. There must be two bases under the first frame to be its two pedestals, and also two bases under each of the other frames for their two pedestals.

And forty sockets of silver, shalt thou make under the twenty boards, —two sockets under the one board for its two tenons, and two sockets, under the next board, for its two tenons.

20 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, you must make twenty frames

And on the second side of the habitation, towards the north, twenty boards;

21 and their forty silver bases. There must be two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

and their forty sockets of silver, —two sockets, under the one board, and, two sockets, under the next board.

22 For the back side of the tabernacle on the west side, you must make six frames.

And for the hinderpart of the habitation, westward, shalt thou make six boards.

23 You must make two frames for the back corners of the tabernacle.

And, two boards, shalt thou make, for the corners of the habitation, —in the hinderpart:

24 These frames must be separate at the bottom, but joined at the top to the same ring. It must be this way for both of the back corners.

that they may be double beneath, and at the same time, they shall be entire on the top thereof, into each ring, —thus, shall it be for them both, for the two corners, shall they be.

25 There must be eight frames, together with their silver bases. There must be sixteen bases in all, two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

So shall they be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, —two sockets, under the one board, and, two sockets, under the next board.

26 You must make crossbars of acacia wood—five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,

And thou shalt make bars, of acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the one side of the habitation,

27 five crossbars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the frames for the back side of the tabernacle to the west.

and five bars, for the boards of the other side of the habitation, and five bars, for the boards of the side of the habitation, at the hinderpart westward;

28 The crossbar in the center of the frames, that is, halfway up, must reach from end to end.

with the middle bar in the midst of the boards, —running along from end to end.

29 You must cover the frames with gold. You must make their rings of gold, for them to serve as holders for the crossbars, and you must cover the bars with gold.

And the boards, shalt thou overlay with gold, and their rings, shalt thou make of gold, as receptacles for the bars, —and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.

30 You must set up the tabernacle by following the plan you were shown on the mountain.

So shalt thou rear up the habitation, according to the fashion thereof, which thou wast caused to see in the mount.

31 You must make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen, with designs of cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

And thou shalt make a veil, of blue and purple, and crimson and fine-twined linen, —of the work of a skilful weaver, shall it be made, with cherubim;

32 You must hang it on four pillars of acacia wood covered with gold. These pillars must have hooks of gold set on four silver bases.

and thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with their hooks of gold, —upon four sockets of silver,

33 You must hang up the curtain under the clasps, and you must bring in the ark of the testimony. The curtain is to separate the holy place from the most holy place.

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 make a division for you between the holy [place] and the most holy.

34 You must put the atonement lid on the ark of the testimony, which is in the most holy place.

And thou shalt place the propitiatory, upon the ark of the testimony, —in the most holy [place].

35 You must place the table outside the curtain. You must place the lampstand opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle. The table must be on the north side.

And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table, on the side of the habitation, southward, —and the table, shalt thou place on the north side.

36 You must make a hanging for the tent entrance. You must make it out of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer.

And thou shalt make a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, —the work of an embroiderer.

37 For the hanging, you must make five pillars of acacia and cover them with gold. Their hooks must be of gold, and you must cast five bronze bases for them.

And thou shalt make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and shalt overlay them with gold, and their hooks [shall be] of gold, —and thou shalt cast for them five sockets of bronze.
