Exodus 26

1 And you are to make a House for me, with ten curtains of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman.

Moreover, thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubim of curious work shalt thou make them.

2 Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

The length of one curtain [shall be] eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure.

3 Five curtains are to be joined together, and the other five are to be joined together.

The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and [other] five curtains [shall be] coupled one to another.

4 And you are to put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group of five, and on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group of five;

And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of [another] curtain, in the coupling of the second.

5 Fifty twists on one curtain and fifty on the other, the twists to be opposite one another.

Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that [is] in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another.

6 Then make fifty gold hooks, joining the curtains together by the hooks, and in this way the House will be made.

And thou shalt make fifty buttons of gold, and couple the curtains together with the buttons: and it shall be one tabernacle.

7 And you are to make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the House, eleven curtains.

And thou shalt make curtains [of] goats' [hair] to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.

8 Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

The length of one curtain [shall be] thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains [shall be all] of one measure.

9 Five of these curtains are to be joined together, and the other six are to be joined together, the sixth being folded over to make a hanging in front of the tent.

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

10 And you are to put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of one group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the other group.

And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain [that is] outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

11 Then make fifty brass hooks and put the hooks into the twists, joining the tent together to make it one.

And thou shalt make fifty buttons of brass, and put the buttons into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12 And the folded part which is over of the curtains of the tent, the half-curtain which is folded back, will be hanging down over the back of the House.

And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.

13 And the cubit which is over of the ten curtains at the sides will be hanging over the two sides of the House as a cover.

And a cubit on the one side, and a 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 then you are to make a cover for the tent, of sheepskins coloured red, and a cover of leather over that.

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

15 And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.

And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle [of] shittim wood standing up.

16 Every board is to be ten cubits high and a cubit and a half wide.

Ten cubits [shall be] the length of a board, and a cubit and a half [shall be] the breadth of one board.

17 Every board is to be joined to the one nearest to it by two tongues, and so for every board in the House.

Two tenons [shall there be] in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 These are the boards needed for the house; twenty boards for the south side,

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

19 With forty silver bases under the twenty boards, two bases under every board to take its tongues.

And thou shalt 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 twenty boards for the second side of the house on the north,

And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side [there shall be] twenty boards:

21 With their forty silver bases, two under every board.

And their forty sockets [of] silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22 And six boards for the back of the House on the west,

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

23 With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

24 The two are to be joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, forming the two angles.

And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25 So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.

And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets [of] silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

And thou shalt make bars [of] shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27 And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

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, for the two sides westward.

28 And the middle rod is to go through the rings of all the boards from end to end.

And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.

29 And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

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

30 And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shown thee on the mount.

31 And you are to make a veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman:

And thou shalt make a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of curious work: with cherubim shall it be made.

32 Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.

And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim [wood] overlaid with gold: their hooks [shall be of] gold, upon the four sockets of silver.

33 And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.

And thou shalt hang the vail under the buttons, that thou mayst bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide to you between the holy [place] and the most holy.

34 You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.

And thou shalt put the mercy-seat upon the ark of the testimony, in the most holy [place].

35 And outside the veil you are to put the table, and the support for the lights opposite the table on the south side of the House; and the table is to be on the north side.

And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle towards the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side.

36 And you are to make a curtain for the doorway of the Tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red.

And thou shalt make a hanging for the door of the tent, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needle work.

37 And make five pillars for the curtain, of hard wood plated with gold; their hooks are to be of gold and their bases of brass.

And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars [of] shittim [wood], and overlay them with gold, [and] their hooks [shall be of] gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.
