New Living Translation

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.

1“Make the Tabernacle from ten curtains of finely woven linen. Decorate the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

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.

2These ten curtains must all be exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

3"Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five curtains are to be joined together.

3Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, then join the other five into a second long curtain.

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.

4Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set.

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.

5The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.

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.

6Then make fifty gold clasps and fasten the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece.

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

7“Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.

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.

8These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

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.

9Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent.

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.

10Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain.

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.

11Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece.

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.

12The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle.

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.

13Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.

14"You are to make a cover for the tent of ram skins dyed red and a covering of dolphin skins above that.

14Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.

15"You are to make upright boards of acacia wood for the tent.

15“For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.

16Each board is to be ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

16Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,

17Each board is to have two pegs joined to one another, and you are to do this for all the boards of the tent.

17with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical.

18You are to make the boards for the tent: 20 boards for the south side.

18Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.

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.

19Also make forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.

20"For the second side of the tent to the north you are to make 20 boards

20For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,

21and 40 silver sockets for them, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board.

21with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.

22On the west you are to make six boards for the rear of the tent,

22Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—

23and you are to make two boards for the rear corners of the tent.

23along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.

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.

24These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way.

25There is to be eight boards with their sixteen silver sockets, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board.

25So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.

26"You are to make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the tent,

26“Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle

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.

27and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.

28The center bar in the middle of the boards is to pass through from end to end.

28The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.

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.

29Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well.

30You are to erect the tent according to the plan for it that was shown you on the mountain.

30“Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.

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.

31“For the inside of the Tabernacle, make a special curtain of finely woven linen. Decorate it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

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.

32Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases.

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.

33Hang the inner curtain from clasps, and put the Ark of the Covenant in the room behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34"You are to put the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

34“Then put the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.

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.

35Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side.

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.

36“Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

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."

37Craft five posts from acacia wood. Overlay them with gold, and hang the curtain from them with gold hooks. Cast five bronze bases for the posts.
