NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	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.
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.	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.
3 Five of the sheets are to be joined to one another, and the other five sheets are to be joined to oneanother.	3 Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.
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.	4 Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to 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.	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.
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.	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.
7 'You will make sheets of goats' hair to form a tent over the Dwel ing; you wil make eleven of these.	7 Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.
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.	8 The length of one hair curtain shall be thirty cubits: and the breadth four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.
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.	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.
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.	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.
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.	11 Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.
12 'Of the extra part of the sheets that overlap, half is to hang down the back of the Dwel ing.	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.
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.	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.
14 'And for the tent you will make a cover of rams' skins dyed red and a cover of fine leather over that.	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.
15 'For the Dwelling you wil make vertical frames of acacia wood.	15 Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim wood.
16 Each frame must be ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.	16 Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth on cubit and a half.
17 Each frame must have twin tenons; that is how al the frames for the Dwelling must be made.	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.
18 You wil make frames for the Dwel ing: twenty frames for the south side, to the south,	18 Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.
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;	19 For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.
20 and for the other side of the Dwel ing, the north side, twenty frames	20 In the second side also the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,
21 and forty silver sockets, two sockets under one frame, two sockets under the next frame.	21 Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under each board.
22 For the back of the Dwel ing, on the west, you wil make six frames,	22 But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six boards.
23 and make two frames for the corners at the back of the Dwel ing;	23 And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.
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.	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.
25 Thus there wil be eight frames with their silver sockets: sixteen sockets; two sockets under oneframe and two sockets under the next frame.	25 And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.
26 'You wil make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames of the first side of the Dwelling,	26 Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.
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.	27 And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:
28 The middle bar must join the frames from one end to the other, halfway up.	28 And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards from one end to the other.
29 You wil overlay the frames with gold, make gold rings for them, through which to place thecrossbars, and overlay the crossbars with gold.	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.
30 This is how you must erect the Dwel ing, fol owing the design shown you on the mountain.	30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewn thee in the mount.
31 'You wil make a curtain of finely woven linen, dyed violet-purple, red-purple and crimson, andembroidered with great winged creatures,	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:
32 and put it on four poles of acacia wood overlaid with gold, with golden hooks for them, set in foursockets of silver.	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.
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.	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.
34 You wil put the mercy-seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Holy of Holies.	34 And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.
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.	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.
36 For the entrance to the tent you wil make a screen of finely woven linen embroidered with violet-purple, red-purple and crimson,	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.
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.'	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.
