The Tabernacle
Ex 36:8–38
1#Ex 26:36; 36:8–19Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet. Make them with cherubim, the work of a skilled workman. 2The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits.#About 42 feet long and 6 feet wide, or 13 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. All of the curtains shall have the same measurements. 3Five curtains shall be joined together, one to another. And the other five curtains are to be joined, one to another. 4You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain in one set, and likewise you shall make loops in the outermost edge of the end curtain in the second set. 5You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second set. The loops are to be opposite to one another. 6You shall make fifty clasps of gold and join the curtains together with the clasps so that the tabernacle shall be one unit.
7You shall make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains. 8The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits,#About 45 feet long and 6 feet wide, or 13.5 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measure. 9You shall join five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. You shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tabernacle. 10You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in one set and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that joins the second set. 11You shall make fifty bronze clasps, and put the clasps into the loops, and join the tent together so that it may be one unit. 12The part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13A cubit#About 1/5 ounce, or 5.8 grams; and in v. 15. on the one side and a cubit on the other side of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side to cover it. 14#Ex 36:19; 25:5You shall make a covering for the tent out of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering above of porpoise skins.
15#Ex 36:20–33You shall make boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 16Ten cubits#About 15 feet long and 21/4 feet wide, or 4.5 meters long and 68 centimeters wide. shall be the length of each board, and a cubit and a half shall be the width of each board. 17There shall be two tenons for each board, fitted to one another. You shall make all the boards of the tabernacle in this way. 18You shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side. 19#Ex 38:27You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. 20For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, there shall be twenty boards, 21and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 22For the back of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards. 23You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back. 24They shall be doubled together beneath and finished together at the top of it into one ring. So it shall be for both of them. They shall form the two corners. 25There shall be eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.
26You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 27and 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 back to the west. 28The middle bar in the center of the boards shall reach from end to end. 29You shall overlay the boards with gold and make their rings of gold to provide places for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold.
30#Ex 25:40; 25:9You shall set up the tabernacle according to the plan which you have been shown on the mountain.
31#Ex 36:35; 2Ch 3:14You shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim, the skillful work of a workman. 32You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold. Their hooks also shall be of gold on four sockets of silver. 33#Ex 40:21; 25:16You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, so that you may bring in the ark of the testimony within the veil; and the veil shall serve for you as a partition between the holy place and the Most Holy. 34#Ex 25:21; 40:20You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy. 35#Ex 40:22; 40:24You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south, and you shall put the table on the north side.
36#Ex 36:37You shall make a screen for the doorway of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer. 37#Ex 36:38You shall make five pillars of acacia wood for the screen and overlay them with gold, with their hooks also made of gold, and you shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
