Exodus 26

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And thou shalt make the tabernacle in this manner: Thou shalt make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, diversified with embroidery.	1 "The Dwelling itself you shall make out of sheets woven of fine linen twined and of violet, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim embroidered on them.
2 The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, the breadth shall be four cubits. All the curtains shall be of one measure.	2 The length of each shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width four cubits; all the sheets shall be of the same size.
3 Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.	3 Five of the sheets are to be sewed together, edge to edge; and the same for the other five.
4 Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to another.	4 Make loops of violet yarn along the edge of the end sheet in one set, and the same along the edge of the end sheet in the other set.
5 Every curtain shall have fifty loops on both sides, so set on, that one loop may be against another loop, and one may be fitted to the other.	5 There are to be fifty loops along the edge of the end sheet in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding sheet in the second set, and so placed that the loops are directly opposite each other.
6 Thou shalt make also fifty rings of gold wherewith the veils of the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.	6 Then make fifty clasps of gold, with which to join the two sets of sheets, so that the Dwelling forms one whole.
7 Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.	7 "Also make sheets woven of goat hair, to be used as a tent covering over the Dwelling.
8 The length of one hair curtain shall be thirty cubits: and the breadth four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.	8 Eleven such sheets are to be made; the length of each shall be thirty cubits, and the width four cubits: all eleven sheets shall be of the same size.
9 Five of which thou shalt couple by themselves, and the six others thou shalt couple one to another, so as to double the sixth curtain in the front of the roof.	9 Sew five of the sheets, edge to edge, into one set, and the other six sheets into another set. Use the sixth sheet double at the front of the tent.
10 Thou shalt make also fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, that it may be joined with the other: and fifty loops in the edge of the other curtain, that it may be coupled with its fellow.	10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end sheet in one set, and fifty loops along the edge of the end sheet in the second set.
11 Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.	11 Also make fifty bronze clasps and put them into the loops, to join the tent into one whole.
12 And that which shall remain of the curtains, that are prepared for the roof, to wit, one curtain that is over and above, with the half thereof thou shalt cover the back parts of the tabernacle.	12 There will be an extra half sheet of tent covering, which shall be allowed to hang down over the rear of the Dwelling.
13 And there shall hang down a cubit on the one side, and another on the other side, which is over and above in the length of the curtains, fencing both sides of the tabernacle.	13 Likewise, the sheets of the tent will have an extra cubit's length to be left hanging down on either side of the Dwelling to protect it.
14 Thou shalt make also another cover to the roof, of rams' skins dyed red; and over that again another cover of violet coloured skins.	14 Over the tent itself you shall make a covering of rams' skins dyed red, and above that, a covering of tahash skins.
15 Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim wood.	15 "You shall make boards of acacia wood as walls for the Dwelling.
16 Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth on cubit and a half.	16 The length of each board is to be ten cubits, and its width one and a half cubits.
17 In the sides of the boards shall be made two mortises, whereby one board may be joined to another board: and after this manner shall all the boards be prepared.	17 Each board shall have two arms that shall serve to fasten the boards in line. In this way all the boards of the Dwelling are to be made.
18 Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.	18 Set up the boards of the Dwelling as follows: twenty boards on the south side,
19 For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.	19 with forty silver pedestals under the twenty boards, so that there are two pedestals under each board, at its two arms;
20 In the second side also the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,	20 twenty boards on the other side of the Dwelling, the north side,
21 Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under each board.	21 with their forty silver pedestals, two under each board;
22 But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six boards.	22 six boards for the rear of the Dwelling, to the west;
23 And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.	23 and two boards for the corners at the rear of the Dwelling.
24 And they shall be joined together from beneath unto the top, and one joint shall hold them all. The like joining shall be observed for the two boards also that are to be put in the corners.	24 These two shall be double at the bottom, and likewise double at the top, to the first ring. That is how both boards in the corners are to be made.
25 And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.	25 Thus, there shall be in the rear eight boards, with their sixteen silver pedestals, two pedestals under each board.
26 Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.	26 Also make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling,
27 And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:	27 five for those on the other side, and five for those at the rear, toward the west.
28 And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards from one end to the other.	28 The center bar, at the middle of the boards, shall reach across from end to end.
29 The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and shall cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to hold together boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of gold.	29 Plate the boards with gold, and make gold rings on them as holders for the bars, which are also to be plated with gold.
30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewn thee in the mount.	30 You shall erect the Dwelling according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
31 Thou shalt make also a veil of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidered work, and goodly variety:	31 "You shall have a veil woven of violet, purple and scarlet yarn, and of fine linen twined, with cherubim embroidered on it.
32 And thou shalt hang it up before four pillars of setim wood, which themselves also shall be overlaid with gold, and shall have heads of gold, but sockets of silver.	32 It is to be hung on four gold-plated columns of acacia wood, which shall have hooks of gold and shall rest on four silver pedestals.
33 And the veils shall be hanged on with rings, and within it thou shalt put the ark of the testimony, and the sanctuary, and the holy of holies shall be divided with it.	33 Hang the veil from clasps. The ark of the commandments you shall bring inside, behind this veil which divides the holy place from the holy of holies.
34 And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.	34 Set the propitiatory on the ark of the commandments in the holy of holies.
35 And the table without the veil: and over against the table the candlestick in the south side of the tabernacle; for the table shall stand in the north side.	35 "Outside the veil you shall place the table and the lampstand, the latter on the south side of the Dwelling, opposite the table, which is to be put on the north side.
36 Thou shalt make also a hanging in the entrance of the tabernacle of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen with embroidered work.	36 For the entrance of the tent make a variegated curtain of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined.
37 And thou shalt overlay with gold five pillars of setim wood, before which the hanging shall be drawn: their heads shall be of gold, and the sockets of brass.	37 Make five columns of acacia wood for this curtain; have them plated with gold, with their hooks of gold; and cast five bronze pedestals for them.
