Exodus 26

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.

²The 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.

³Five curtains shall be joined to one another, and the other five shall be similarly coupled together.

⁴You 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.

⁵A 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.

⁶You 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.

⁷You shall also make eleven haircloth canopies to cover the roof of the tabernacle.

⁸The length of one canopy shall hold thirty cubits, and the width, four. The measure of all the canopies shall be equal.

⁹Five 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.

¹⁰You 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.

¹¹You shall also make fifty brass buckles, with which the loops may be joined, so that there may be one covering out of all.

¹²Then 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.

¹³And 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.

¹⁴You 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.

¹⁵You shall also make the standing panels of the tabernacle from setim wood.

¹⁶Of these, each shall have ten cubits in length, and in width, one and one half.

¹⁷At 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.

¹⁸Of these, twenty shall be at the meridian, which lies toward the south.

¹⁹For these, you shall cast forty bases of silver, so that two bases will lie under each panel at its two corners.

²⁰Likewise, at the second side of the tabernacle, which lies to the north, there shall be twenty panels,

²¹having forty bases of silver; two bases shall support each panel.

²²Truly, toward the western part of the tabernacle, you shall make six panels,

²³and again another two, which will be raised at the corners, behind the back of the tabernacle.

²⁴And 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.

²⁵And together these will be eight panels, and their bases of silver, sixteen, counting two bases for each panel.

²⁶You shall also make five bars of setim wood, to connect the panels on one side of the tabernacle,

²⁷and five others on the other side, and the same number toward the western part.

²⁸These shall be set along the middle of the panels, from one end all the way to the other end.

²⁹Likewise, 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.

³⁰And you shall raise the tabernacle according to the example which was shown to you on the mountain.

³¹You 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.

³²And you shall suspend it before four columns of setim wood, which themselves certainly shall be overlaid with gold, and have heads of gold, but bases of silver.

³³Then 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.

³⁴And you shall place the propitiatory over the ark of the testimony, in the Holy of Holies.

³⁵And the table shall be outside the veil. And opposite the table shall be the lampstand, in the meridian of the tabernacle. For the table shall stand at the north side.

³⁶You shall also make a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery.

³⁷And you shall overlay with gold five columns of setim wood, over which the tent shall be drawn. The heads of these shall be of gold, and the bases of brass.”

Exodus 26

¹And 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.

²The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits; the breadth shall be four cubits. All the curtains shall be of one measure.

³Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.

⁴Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to another.

⁵Every 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.

⁶Thou shalt make also fifty rings of gold, wherewith the veils of the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.

⁷Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.

⁸The length of one hair-curtain shall be thirty cubits; and the breadth, four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.

⁹Five 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.

¹⁰Thou 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.

¹¹Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.

¹²And 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.

¹³And 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.

¹⁴Thou shalt make also another cover to the roof of rams' skins dyed red: and over that again another cover of violet coloured skins.

¹⁵Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim wood.

¹⁶Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth one cubit and a half.

¹⁷In 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.

¹⁸Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.

¹⁹For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.

²⁰In the second side also of the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,

²¹Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under each board.

²²But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six boards.

²³And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.

²⁴And 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.

²⁵And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.

²⁶Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.

²⁷And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:

²⁸And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards, from one end to the other.

²⁹The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and shalt cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to hold together the boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of gold.

³⁰And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewn thee in the mount.

³¹Thou shalt make also a veil of violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidered work and goodly variety:

³²And 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.

³³And the veil shall be hanged on with rings, and within it thou shalt put the ark of the testimony, and the sanctuary and the holy of the holies shall be divided with it.

³⁴And thou shalt set the propitiatory upon the ark of the testimony, in the holy of holies.

³⁵And 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.

³⁶Thou 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.

³⁷And 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.
