| |
| | Exd 26:1 | "Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim worked into them by a skilled craftsman.
| |
| | Exd 26:2 | All the curtains are to be the same size--twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.
| |
| | Exd 26:3 | Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five.
| |
| | Exd 26:4 | Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set.
| |
| | Exd 26:5 | Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.
| |
| | Exd 26:6 | Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.
| |
| | Exd 26:7 | "Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle--eleven altogether.
| |
| | Exd 26:8 | All eleven curtains are to be the same size--thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
| |
| | Exd 26:9 | Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.
| |
| | Exd 26:10 | Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.
| |
| | Exd 26:11 | Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit.
| |
| | Exd 26:12 | As for the additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle.
| |
| | Exd 26:13 | The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it.
| |
| | Exd 26:14 | Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows.
| |
| | Exd 26:15 | "Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
| |
| | Exd 26:16 | Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,
| |
| | Exd 26:17 | with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
| |
| | Exd 26:18 | Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle
| |
| | Exd 26:19 | and make forty silver bases to go under them--two bases for each frame, one under each projection.
| |
| | Exd 26:20 | For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames
| |
| | Exd 26:21 | and forty silver bases--two under each frame.
| |
| | Exd 26:22 | Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
| |
| | Exd 26:23 | and make two frames for the corners at the far end.
| |
| | Exd 26:24 | At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top, and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that.
| |
| | Exd 26:25 | So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases--two under each frame.
| |
| | Exd 26:26 | "Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
| |
| | Exd 26:27 | five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.
| |
| | Exd 26:28 | The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames.
| |
| | Exd 26:29 | Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
| |
| | Exd 26:30 | "Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
| |
| | Exd 26:31 | "Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman.
| |
| | Exd 26:32 | Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.
| |
| | Exd 26:33 | Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
| |
| | Exd 26:34 | Put the atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.
| |
| | Exd 26:35 | Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
| |
| | Exd 26:36 | "For the entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen--the work of an embroiderer.
| |
| | Exd 26:37 | Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.
