< Exodus 26 >

1 Afterwarde thou shalt make the Tabernacle with tenne curtaines of fine twined linen, and blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet: and in them thou shalt make Cherubims of broydered worke.
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.
2 The length of one curtaine shalbe eight and twentie cubites, and the bredth of one curtaine, foure cubites: euery one of the curtaines shall haue one measure.
Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.
3 Fiue curtaines shalbe coupled one to an other: and the other fiue curtaines shall be coupled one to another.
Five curtains are to be joined together, and the other five are to be joined together.
4 And thou shalt make stringes of blew silke vpon the edge of the one curtaine, which is in the seluedge of the coupling: and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the other curtaine in the seluedge, in the second coupling.
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;
5 Fiftie strings shalt thou make in one curtaine, and fiftie stringes shalt thou make in the edge of the curtaine, which is in the second coupling: ye stringes shalbe one right against another.
Fifty twists on one curtain and fifty on the other, the twists to be opposite one another.
6 Thou shalt make also fiftie taches of gold, and couple the curtaines one to another with the taches, and it shalbe one tabernacle.
Then make fifty gold hooks, joining the curtains together by the hooks, and in this way the House will be made.
7 Also thou shalt make curtaines of goates heare, to be a couering vpon the Tabernacle: thou shalt make them to the number of eleuen curtaines.
And you are to make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the House, eleven curtains.
8 The length of a curtaine shall be thirtie cubites, and the breadth of a curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines shalbe of one measure.
Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.
9 And thou shalt couple fiue curtaynes by themselues, and the sixe curtaines by themselues: but thou shalt double the sixt curtaine vpon the forefront of the couering.
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.
10 And thou shalt make fifty stringes in the edge of one curtayne, in the seluedge of the coupling, and fifty stringes in the edge of the other curtaine in the second coupling.
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.
11 Likewise thou shalt make fifty taches of brasse, and fasten them on the strings, and shalt couple the couering together, that it may be one.
Then make fifty brass hooks and put the hooks into the twists, joining the tent together to make it one.
12 And the remnant that resteth in ye curtaines of the couering, euen the halfe curtaine that resteth, shalbe left at the backeside of the Tabernacle,
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.
13 That the cubite on the one side, and the cubite on the other side of that which is left in the legth of the curtaines of ye couering, may remaine on either side of the Tabernacle to couer it.
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.
14 Moreouer, for that couering thou shalt make a couering of rammes skinnes died red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.
And then you are to make a cover for the tent, of sheepskins coloured red, and a cover of leather over that.
15 Also thou shalt make boards for the Tabernacle of Shittim wood to stand vp.
And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.
16 Ten cubites shalbe the length of a boarde, and a cubite and an halfe cubite the breadth of one boarde.
Every board is to be ten cubits high and a cubit and a half wide.
17 Two tenons shalbe in one boarde set in order as the feete of a ladder, one against an other: thus shalt thou make for all the boardes of the Tabernacle.
Every board is to be joined to the one nearest to it by two tongues, and so for every board in the House.
18 And thou shalt make boardes for the Tabernacle, euen twenty boardes on the South side, euen full South.
These are the boards needed for the house; twenty boards for the south side,
19 And thou shalt make fourty sockets of siluer vnder the twentie boardes, two sockets vnder one boarde for his two tenons, and two sockets vnder an other boarde for his two tenons.
With forty silver bases under the twenty boards, two bases under every board to take its tongues.
20 In like maner on the other side of the Tabernacle towarde the North side shalbe twentie boardes,
And twenty boards for the second side of the house on the north,
21 And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one boarde, and two sockets vnder another board.
With their forty silver bases, two under every board.
22 And on the side of the Tabernacle, toward the West shalt thou make sixe boards.
And six boards for the back of the House on the west,
23 Also two boardes shalt thou make in the corners of the Tabernacle in the two sides.
With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.
24 Also they shalbe ioyned beneath, and likewise they shalbe ioyned aboue to a ring: thus shall it be for them two: they shalbe for ye two corners.
The two are to be joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, forming the two angles.
25 So they shalbe eight boardes hauing sockets of siluer, euen sixteene sockets, that is, two sockets vnder one board, and two sockets vnder an other boarde.
So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.
26 The thou shalt make fiue barres of Shittim wood for the boardes of one side of the Tabernacle,
And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,
27 And fiue barres for the boardes of the other side of the Tabernacle: also fiue barres for the boardes of the side of the Tabernacle toward the Westside.
And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.
28 And the middle barre shall goe through the middes of the boards, from ende to ende.
And the middle rod is to go through the rings of all the boards from end to end.
29 And thou shalt couer the boards with golde, and make their rings of golde, for places for the barres, and thou shalt couer the barres with golde.
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.
30 So thou shalt reare vp the Tabernacle, according to the facion thereof, which was shewed thee in the mount.
And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.
31 Moreouer, thou shalt make a vaile of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen: thou shalt make it of broydred worke with Cherubims.
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:
32 And thou shalt hang it vpon foure pillars of Shittim wood couered with gold, (whose hookes shalbe of gold) stading vpon foure sockets of siluer.
Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.
33 Afterward thou shalt hang the vaile on the hookes, that thou mayest bring in thither, that is (within the vaile) the arke of the Testimonie: and the vaile shall make you a separation betweene the Holy place and the most holy place.
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.
34 Also thou shalt put ye Mercy seate vpon the Arke of the testimonie in the most Holy place.
You are to put the cover on the ark of the law, inside the most holy place.
35 And thou shalt set the Table without the vaile, and the Candlesticke ouer against the Table on the Southside of the Tabernacle, and thou shalt set the Table on the Northside.
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.
36 Also thou shalt make an hanging for the dore of ye Tabernacle of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen wrought with needle.
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.
37 And thou shalt make for the hanging fiue pillars of Shittim, and couer them with gold: their heads shalbe of golde, and thou shalt cast fiue sockets of brasse for them.
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.
