1 Moreover 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.1 'The Dwelling itself you wil make with ten sheets of finely woven linen dyed violet-purple, red-purpleand crimson. You will have them embroidered with great winged creatures.
2 The 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.2 The length of a single sheet is to be twenty-eight cubits, its width four cubits, al the sheets to be of thesame size.
3 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another.3 Five of the sheets are to be joined to one another, and the other five sheets are to be joined to oneanother.
4 And 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.4 You will make violet loops along the edge of the first sheet, at the end of the set, and do the samealong the edge of the last sheet in the other set.
5 Fifty 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.5 You will make fifty loops on the first sheet and fifty loops along the outer edge of the sheet of thesecond set, the loops corresponding to one another.
6 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.6 You will also make fifty gold clasps, and join the sheets together with the clasps. In this way theDwelling wil be a unified whole.
7 And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.7 'You will make sheets of goats' hair to form a tent over the Dwel ing; you wil make eleven of these.
8 The 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.8 The length of a single sheet must be thirty cubits and its width four cubits, the eleven sheets to be alof the same size.
9 And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.9 You will join five sheets together into one set, and six sheets into another; the sixth you wil fold doubleover the front of the tent.
10 And 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.10 You wil make fifty loops along the edge of the first sheet, at the end of the first set, and fifty loopsalong the edge of the sheet of the second set.
11 And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.11 You wil make fifty bronze clasps and insert the clasps into the loops, to draw the tent together and tomake it a unified whole.
12 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.12 'Of the extra part of the sheets that overlap, half is to hang down the back of the Dwel ing.
13 And 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.13 The extra cubit on either side along the length of the tent sheets must hang down the sides of theDwelling on either side to cover it.
14 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.14 'And for the tent you will make a cover of rams' skins dyed red and a cover of fine leather over that.
15 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up.15 'For the Dwelling you wil make vertical frames of acacia wood.
16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.16 Each frame must be ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.
17 Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.17 Each frame must have twin tenons; that is how al the frames for the Dwelling must be made.
18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.18 You wil make frames for the Dwel ing: twenty frames for the south side, to the south,
19 And 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.19 and make forty silver sockets under the twenty frames, two sockets under one frame for its twotenons, two sockets under the next frame for its two tenons;
20 And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:20 and for the other side of the Dwel ing, the north side, twenty frames
21 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.21 and forty silver sockets, two sockets under one frame, two sockets under the next frame.
22 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.22 For the back of the Dwel ing, on the west, you wil make six frames,
23 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.23 and make two frames for the corners at the back of the Dwel ing;
24 And 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.24 these must be coupled together at the bottom, and right up to the top, to the level of the first ring; thisfor the two frames that must form the two corners.
25 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.25 Thus there wil be eight frames with their silver sockets: sixteen sockets; two sockets under oneframe and two sockets under the next frame.
26 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,26 'You wil make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames of the first side of the Dwelling,
27 And 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.27 five crossbars for the frames of the opposite side of the Dwel ing, and five crossbars for the frameswhich form the back of the Dwel ing, to the west.
28 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.28 The middle bar must join the frames from one end to the other, halfway up.
29 And 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.29 You wil overlay the frames with gold, make gold rings for them, through which to place thecrossbars, and overlay the crossbars with gold.
30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.30 This is how you must erect the Dwel ing, fol owing the design shown you on the mountain.
31 And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:31 'You wil make a curtain of finely woven linen, dyed violet-purple, red-purple and crimson, andembroidered with great winged creatures,
32 And 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.32 and put it on four poles of acacia wood overlaid with gold, with golden hooks for them, set in foursockets of silver.
33 And 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.33 You wil put the curtain below the clasps, so that inside behind the curtain, you can place the ark ofthe Testimony, and the curtain wil mark the division for you between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies.
34 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.34 You wil put the mercy-seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Holy of Holies.
35 And 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.35 You wil place the table outside the curtain, and the lamp-stand on the south side of the Dwel ing,opposite the table; you will put the table on the north side.
36 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.36 For the entrance to the tent you wil make a screen of finely woven linen embroidered with violet-purple, red-purple and crimson,
37 And 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.37 and for the screen you wil make five poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, with goldenhooks, and for them you wil cast five sockets of bronze.'
