1"You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains. You must make them of finely spun linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.

1Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.

2Each curtain should be forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the curtains are to have the same measurements.

2The 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.

3Five of the curtains should be joined together, and the other five curtains joined together.

3The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.

4Make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.

4And 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.

5Make fifty loops on the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together.

5Fifty 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.

6Also make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.

6And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.

7"You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make eleven of these curtains.

7And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.

8Each curtain should be forty-five feet long and six feet wide. All eleven curtains are to have the same measurements.

8The 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.

9Join five of the curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. Then fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.

9And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.

10Make fifty loops on the edge of one curtain, the outermost in the first set, and make fifty loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain of the second set.

10And 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.

11Make fifty bronze clasps; put the clasps through the loops and join the tent together so that it is a single unit.

11And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12As for the flap that remains from the tent curtains, the leftover half curtain is to hang over the back of the tabernacle.

12And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.

13What remains along the length of the tent curtains--a half yard on one side and a half yard on the other side--should hang over the sides of the tabernacle on either side to cover it.

13And 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, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14Make a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather on top of that.

14And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.

15"You are to make upright supports of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

15And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.

16Each support is to be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.

16Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.

17Each support will have two tenons for joining. Do the same for all the supports of the tabernacle.

17Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18Make the supports for the tabernacle as follows: twenty supports for the south side,

18And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.

19and make forty silver bases under the twenty supports, two bases under the first support for its two tenons, and two bases under the next support for its two tenons;

19And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

20twenty supports for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side,

20And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:

21along with their forty silver bases, two bases under the first support and two bases under each support;

21And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

22and make six supports for the west side of the tabernacle.

22And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.

23Make two additional supports for the two back corners of the tabernacle.

23And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

24They are to be paired at the bottom, and joined together at the top in a single ring. So it should be for both of them; they will serve as the two corners.

24And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.

25There are to be eight supports with their silver bases: sixteen bases; two bases under the first support and two bases under each support.

25And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26"You are to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the supports on one side of the tabernacle,

26And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

27five crossbars for the supports on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the supports of the back side of the tabernacle on the west.

27And 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.

28The central crossbar is to run through the middle of the supports from one end to the other.

28And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.

29Then overlay the supports with gold, and make their rings of gold as the holders for the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

29And 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.

30You are to set up the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you have been shown on the mountain.

30And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.

31"You are to make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen with a design of cherubim worked into it.

31And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:

32Hang it on four gold-plated pillars of acacia wood that have gold hooks and that stand on four silver bases.

32And 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.

33Hang the curtain under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony there behind the curtain, so the curtain will make a separation for you between the holy place and the most holy place.

33And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.

34Put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

34And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.

35Place the table outside the curtain and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table; put the table on the north side.

35And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side.

36"For the entrance to the tent you are to make a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

36And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.

37Make five pillars of acacia wood for the screen and overlay them with gold; their hooks are to be gold, and you are to cast five bronze bases for them.

37And 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.
