1“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them. | 1"You are to make the tent with ten curtains of fine woven linen and with blue, purple, and scarlet material. You are to make them with cherubim skillfully worked into them. |
2Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide—all curtains the same size. | 2The length of each curtain is to be 28 cubits, the width of each curtain four cubits, and all the curtains are to have the same measurements. |
3Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well. | 3"Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five curtains are to be joined together. |
4Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set. | 4You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and likewise you are to make loops along the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set. |
5Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another. | 5You are to make 50 loops in the one curtain, and you are to make 50 loops along the edge of the curtain that is in the second set, with the loops opposite each other. |
6Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit. | 6Then you are to make 50 gold clasps, and join the curtains to each other with the clasps so that the tent will be one piece. |
7You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all. | 7"You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tent. You are to make eleven curtains. |
8Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. | 8The length of each curtain is to be 30 cubits, and the width of each curtain two cubits; the measurements of each of the eleven curtains is to be the same. |
9Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent. | 9You are to join five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and you are to double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. |
10Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set. | 10You are to make 50 loops along the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and 50 loops along the edge of the curtain of the other set. |
11Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit. | 11You are to make 50 bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and join the tent together so that it will be one piece. |
12As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle. | 12As for the excess that remains of the curtains of the tent—the half curtain that remains—is to hang over the back of the tent. |
13And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it. | 13The half cubit that remain on either end of the length of the curtains of the tent is to hang over each side of the tent to cover it. |
14Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather. | 14"You are to make a cover for the tent of ram skins dyed red and a covering of dolphin skins above that. |
15You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. | 15"You are to make upright boards of acacia wood for the tent. |
16Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. | 16Each board is to be ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. |
17Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. | 17Each board is to have two pegs joined to one another, and you are to do this for all the boards of the tent. |
18Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle, | 18You are to make the boards for the tent: 20 boards for the south side. |
19with forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon. | 19And you are to make 40 silver sockets under the 20 boards: two sockets under the one board for its two pegs and two sockets under the next board for its two pegs. |
20For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames | 20"For the second side of the tent to the north you are to make 20 boards |
21and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame. | 21and 40 silver sockets for them, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board. |
22Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side, | 22On the west you are to make six boards for the rear of the tent, |
23and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle, | 23and you are to make two boards for the rear corners of the tent. |
24coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners. | 24They shall be interlocked together at the bottom and connected on top by one ring. Do this for the two of them, and they are to be the two corners. |
25So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame. | 25There is to be eight boards with their sixteen silver sockets, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board. |
26You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, | 26"You are to make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the tent, |
27five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west. | 27five bars for the boards on the second side of the tent, and five bars for the boards on the back side of the tent to the west. |
28The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other. | 28The center bar in the middle of the boards is to pass through from end to end. |
29Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold. | 29You are to overlay the boards with gold, and you are to make gold rings for them as holders for the bars, and you are to overlay the bars with gold. |
30So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain. | 30You are to erect the tent according to the plan for it that was shown you on the mountain. |
31Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it. | 31"You are to make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine woven linen. You are to make it with cherubim skillfully worked into it. |
32Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. | 32You are to hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, which have hooks of gold, and are set on four sockets of silver. |
33And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. | 33You are to hang the curtain from the clasps and bring the Ark of the Testimony there inside the curtain. The curtain is to separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. |
34Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. | 34"You are to put the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. |
35And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side. | 35You are to put the table outside the curtain. You are to put the table on the north side with the lamp stand opposite the table on the south side of the tent. |
36For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. | 36For the doorway of the tent you are to make a screen of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and with fine woven linen, the work of an embroiderer. |
37Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold hooks, and cast five bronze bases for them. | 37You are to make five pillars of acacia for the screens and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and you are to cast five bronze sockets for them." |
