| 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.
|
| 26:2 |
All the curtains are to be the same size--twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.
|
| 26:3 |
Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 26:6 |
Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.
|
| 26:7 |
"Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle--eleven altogether.
|
| 26:8 |
All eleven curtains are to be the same size--thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 26:11 |
Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 26:14 |
Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows.
|
| 26:15 |
"Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
|
| 26:16 |
Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,
|
| 26:17 |
with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
|
| 26:18 |
Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle
|
| 26:19 |
and make forty silver bases to go under them--two bases for each frame, one under each projection.
|
| 26:20 |
For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames
|
| 26:21 |
and forty silver bases--two under each frame.
|
| 26:22 |
Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
|
| 26:23 |
and make two frames for the corners at the far end.
|
| 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.
|
| 26:25 |
So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases--two under each frame.
|
| 26:26 |
"Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
|
| 26:27 |
five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.
|
| 26:28 |
The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames.
|
| 26:29 |
Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
|
| 26:30 |
"Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
|
| 26:31 |
"Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman.
|
| 26:32 |
Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.
|
| 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.
|
| 26:34 |
Put the atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 26:37 |
Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.
