| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1“Make the Tabernacle from ten curtains of finely woven linen. Decorate the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2These ten curtains must all be exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, then join the other five into a second long curtain. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Then 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. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7“Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Then 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. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15“For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Also make forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames, |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle— |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24These 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. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26“Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30“Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31“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. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Hang the inner curtain from clasps, and put the Ark of the Covenant in the room behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34“Then put the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36“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. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Craft five posts from acacia wood. Overlay them with gold, and hang the curtain from them with gold hooks. Cast five bronze bases for the posts. |
