Exodus 26

1 And thou shalt make the tabernacle in this manner: Thou shalt make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, diversified with embroidery.

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.

2 The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, the breadth shall be four cubits. All the curtains shall be of one measure.

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.

3 Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.

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

4 Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to another.

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.

5 Every curtain shall have fifty loops on both sides, so set on, that one loop may be against another loop, and one may be fitted to the other.

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.

6 Thou shalt make also fifty rings of gold wherewith the veils of the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.

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.

7 Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.

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

8 The length of one hair curtain shall be thirty cubits: and the breadth four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.

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.

9 Five of which thou shalt couple by themselves, and the six others thou shalt couple one to another, so as to double the sixth curtain in the front of the roof.

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.

10 Thou shalt make also fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, that it may be joined with the other: and fifty loops in the edge of the other curtain, that it may be coupled with its fellow.

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.

11 Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.

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.

12 And that which shall remain of the curtains, that are prepared for the roof, to wit, one curtain that is over and above, with the half thereof thou shalt cover the back parts of the tabernacle.

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.

13 And there shall hang down a cubit on the one side, and another on the other side, which is over and above in the length of the curtains, fencing both sides of the tabernacle.

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.

14 Thou shalt make also another cover to the roof, of rams’ skins dyed red; and over that again another cover of violet coloured skins.

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

15 Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim wood.

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

16 Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth on cubit and a half.

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

17 In the sides of the boards shall be made two mortises, whereby one board may be joined to another board: and after this manner shall all the boards be prepared.

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.

18 Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.

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

19 For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.

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.

20 In the second side also the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,

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

21 Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under each board.

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.

22 But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six boards.

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

23 And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.

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

24 And they shall be joined together from beneath unto the top, and one joint shall hold them all. The like joining shall be observed for the two boards also that are to be put in the corners.

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.

25 And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.

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.

26 Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.

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

27 And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:

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.

28 And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards from one end to the other.

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

29 The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and shall cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to hold together boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of gold.

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.

30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewn thee in the mount.

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

31 Thou shalt make also a veil of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidered work, and goodly variety:

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.

32 And thou shalt hang it up before four pillars of setim wood, which themselves also shall be overlaid with gold, and shall have heads of gold, but sockets of silver.

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.

33 And the veils shall be hanged on with rings, and within it thou shalt put the ark of the testimony, and the sanctuary, and the holy of holies shall be divided with it.

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.

34 And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.

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

35 And the table without the veil: and over against the table the candlestick in the south side of the tabernacle; for the table shall stand in the north side.

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.

36 Thou shalt make also a hanging in the entrance of the tabernacle of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen with embroidered work.

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.

37 And thou shalt overlay with gold five pillars of setim wood, before which the hanging shall be drawn: their heads shall be of gold, and the sockets of brass.

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.
