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 “Truly, thus shall you make the tabernacle: You shall make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth as well as purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse embroidery.
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 one curtain shall have twenty-eight cubits. The width shall be four cubits. The entire set of curtains shall be of one measure.
3 Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.3 Five curtains shall be joined to one another, and the other five shall be similarly coupled together.
4 Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to another.4 You shall make loops of hyacinth on the sides at the edges of the curtains, so that they will be able to be joined 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.5 A curtain shall have fifty loops on each of two sides, inserted in such a manner that loop may come against loop, and one can be fitted to the 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 You shall also make fifty rings of gold, with which the veils of the curtains are to be joined, so that it shall be one tabernacle.
7 Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.7 You shall also make eleven haircloth canopies to cover the roof of the tabernacle.
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 The length of one canopy shall hold thirty cubits, and the width, four. The measure of all the canopies shall be equal.
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 Five of these you shall join by themselves, and six of these you shall couple to one another, in such a manner as to double the sixth canopy at the front of the roof.
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 You shall also make fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, so that it may be able to be joined with the other, and fifty loops along the edge of the other canopy, so that it may be coupled with the other.
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 You shall also make fifty brass buckles, with which the loops may be joined, so that there may be one covering out of all.
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 Then what will be left over of the canopies which are prepared for the roof, that is, one canopy which is in excess, from half of it you shall cover the back of the tabernacle.
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 And one cubit will hang down on one side, and another on the other side, which is more than the length of the curtains, protecting both sides of the tabernacle.
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 You shall also make another covering for the roof from the skins of rams, dyed-red, and above that again, another covering of violet-colored skins.
15 Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim wood.15 You shall also make the standing panels of the tabernacle from setim wood.
16 Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth on cubit and a half.16 Of these, each shall have ten cubits in length, and in width, one and one half.
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 At the sides of the panels, there shall be made two dovetails, by which one panel may be connected to another panel; and in this way all the panels shall be prepared.
18 Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.18 Of these, twenty shall be at the meridian, which lies toward the south.
19 For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.19 For these, you shall cast forty bases of silver, so that two bases will lie under each panel at its two corners.
20 In the second side also the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,20 Likewise, at the second side of the tabernacle, which lies to the north, there shall be twenty panels,

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 And these shall be joined together from bottom to top, and one joint shall retain them all. Likewise, two of the panels, which will be set at the corners, shall be served by similar joints.
25 And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.25 And together these will be eight panels, and their bases of silver, sixteen, counting two bases for each panel.
26 Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.26 You shall also make five bars of setim wood, to connect the panels on one side of the tabernacle,
27 And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:27 and five others on the other side, and the same number toward the western part.
28 And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards from one end to the other.28 These shall be set along the middle of the panels, from one end all the way to the other 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 Likewise, the panels themselves you shall overlay with gold, and you shall establish rings of gold in them, by which the bars of the panels may be connected. These you shall cover with layers of gold.
30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewn thee in the mount.30 And you shall raise the tabernacle according to the example which was shown to 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 also make a veil of hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with a diversity of continuous and beautiful embroidery.

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 Then the veil shall be inserted through the rings. Beyond the veil, you shall place the ark of the testimony, where both the Sanctuary and the Sanctuary of Sanctuaries shall be divided.
34 And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.34 And you shall place the propitiatory over the ark of the testimony, 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 And the table shall be outside the veil.

The heads of these shall be of gold, and the bases of brass.”
