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.

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.

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.

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

3 Fiue curtaines shalbe coupled one to an other: and the other fiue curtaines shall be coupled one to another.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

6 Thou shalt make also fiftie taches of gold, and couple the curtaines one to another with the taches, and it shalbe one tabernacle.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

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.

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.

14 Moreouer, for that couering thou shalt make a couering of rammes skinnes died red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.

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

15 Also thou shalt make boards for the Tabernacle of Shittim wood to stand vp.

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

16 Ten cubites shalbe the length of a boarde, and a cubite and an halfe cubite the breadth of one boarde.

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

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.

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.

18 And thou shalt make boardes for the Tabernacle, euen twenty boardes on the South side, euen full South.

When you make the frames for the tabernacle, you must make twenty frames 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.

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.

20 In like maner on the other side of the Tabernacle towarde the North side shalbe twentie boardes,

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

21 And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one boarde, and two sockets vnder another board.

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

22 And on the side of the Tabernacle, toward the West shalt thou make sixe boards.

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

23 Also two boardes shalt thou make in the corners of the Tabernacle in the two sides.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

26 The thou shalt make fiue barres of Shittim wood for the boardes of one side of the Tabernacle,

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

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.

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.

28 And the middle barre shall goe through the middes of the boards, from ende to ende.

The crossbar in the center of the frames, that is, halfway up, must reach 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.

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.

30 So thou shalt reare vp the Tabernacle, according to the facion thereof, which was shewed thee in the mount.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

34 Also thou shalt put ye Mercy seate vpon the Arke of the testimonie in the most Holy place.

You must put the atonement lid on the ark of the testimony, which is in 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
