26
1“And make the Dwelling Place with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue and purple and scarlet material. Make them, with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman.
2“The length of each curtain is twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, all the curtains having one measure.
3“Five curtains are joined to each other, and five curtains are joined to each other.
4“And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain on one set, and do the same on the edge of the end curtain of the second set.
5“Make fifty loops in the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the second set, the loops being opposite to each other.
6“And you shall make fifty hooks of gold, and shall join the curtains together with the hooks, and the Dwelling Place shall be one.
7“And you shall make curtains of goats’ hair, for a tent over the Dwelling Place, make eleven curtains.
8“The length of each curtain is thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, one measure to the eleven curtains.
9“And you shall join the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the six curtains at the front of the Tent.
10“And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set.
11“And you shall make fifty bronze hooks, and put the hooks into the loops, and join the tent together, and it shall be one.
12“And the overlapping part of the rest of the curtains of the Tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the Dwelling Place.
13“And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the Tent, is to hang over the sides of the Dwelling Place, on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14“And you shall make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the Tent, and a covering of fine leather above that.
15“And for the Dwelling Place you shall make the boards of acacia wood, standing up.
16“Ten cubits is the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board,
17two tenons in each board for binding one to another. Do the same for all the boards of the Dwelling Place.
18And you shall make the boards for the Dwelling Place, twenty boards for the south side,”
19and make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons.
20“And for the second side of the Dwelling Place, on the north side, twenty boards,
21and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under each of the boards.
22And for the extreme parts of the Dwelling Place, westward, make six boards,”
23and make two boards for the two back corners of the Dwelling Place.
24“And they are double beneath and similarly they are complete to the top, to the one ring. So it is for both of them, they are for the two corners.
25“And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets – two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board.
26“And you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling Place,
27and five bars for the boards on the other side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the side of the Dwelling Place, for the extreme parts westward,
28with the middle bar in the midst of the boards, going through from end to end.
29“And overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlay the bars with gold.
30“And you shall raise up the Dwelling Place according to its pattern which you were shown on the mountain.
31“And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, the work of a skilled workman, made with keruḇim.
32“And you shall put it on the four columns of acacia wood overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold, upon four sockets of silver.
33“And you shall hang the veil from the hooks, and shall bring the ark of the Witness there, behind the veil. And the veil shall make a separation for you between the Set-apart and the Most Set-apart Place.
34“And you shall put the lid of atonement upon the ark of the Witness in the Most Set-apart Place.
35“And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the Dwelling Place toward the south, and put the table on the north side.
36And you shall make a covering for the door of the Tent, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.
37“And you shall make for the covering five columns of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, their hooks of gold, and you shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
