“Make the Tabernacle from ten curtains of finely woven linen. Decorate the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.
The Ten Curtains of the Tabernacle
And thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work shalt thou make them.
And thou shalt make the tabernacle [with] ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim of artistic work shalt thou make them.
The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits -- one measure for all the curtains.
Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, then join the other five into a second long curtain.
Five of the curtains shall be coupled one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled one to another.
Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set.
And thou shalt make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain at the end of the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make [them] in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.
The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.
Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make at the end of the curtain in the other coupling: the loops shall be opposite to one another.
Then make fifty gold clasps and fasten the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece.
And thou shalt make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one [whole].
“Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.
The Eleven Curtains of Goats' Hair
And thou shalt make curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make them.
And thou shalt make curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make them.
The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits -- one measure for the eleven curtains.
And thou shalt couple five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the front of the tent.
Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain.
And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.
Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece.
And thou shalt make fifty clasps of copper, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent, that it may be one [whole].
And that which remaineth hanging over of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the rear of the tabernacle.
And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side of that which remaineth 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.
Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.
And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins over [that].
“For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.
The Boards and Sockets
And the boards for the tabernacle thou shalt make of acacia-wood, standing up;
And the boards for the tabernacle thou shalt make of acacia-wood, standing up;
ten cubits the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of one board.
with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical.
One board shall have two tenons, connected one with the other: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.
And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward.
Also make forty silver bases — two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.
And thou shalt make forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,
And for the other side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards.
with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.
And their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
Make six frames for the rear — the west side of the Tabernacle —
And for the rear of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.
along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.
And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;
These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way.
and they shall be joined beneath, and together shall be united at the top thereof to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases — two bases under each frame.
And there shall be eight boards, and their bases, of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
“Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle
And thou shalt make bars of acacia-wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward;
The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.
and the middle bar in the midst of the boards reaching from one end to the other.
Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well.
And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make [of] gold their rings, the receptacles of the bars, and shalt overlay the bars with gold.
“Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.
And thou shalt set up the tabernacle according to its fashion, as hath been shewn thee on the mountain.
“For the inside of the Tabernacle, make a special curtain of finely woven linen. Decorate it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.
The Veil for the Ark
And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; of artistic work shall it be made, with cherubim.
And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; of artistic work shall it be made, with cherubim.
Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases.
And thou shalt attach it to four pillars of acacia-wood overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold; they shall be on four bases of silver.
And thou shalt bring the veil under the clasps, and bring in thither, inside the veil, the ark of the testimony; and the curtain shall make a division to you between the holy [place] and the holiest of all.
“Then put the Ark’s cover — the place of atonement — on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.
And thou shalt put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony in the holiest of all.
Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side.
And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the lamp-stand opposite to the table on the side of the tabernacle southward; and thou shalt put the table on the north side.
“Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
The Curtain for the Door
And thou shalt make for the entrance of the tent a curtain of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery.

And thou shalt make for the curtain five pillars of acacia[-wood], and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold; and thou shalt cast five bases of copper for them.
