1	“Truly, thus shall you make the tabernacle: You shall make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth as well as purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse embroidery.	“Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns; you shall make them with cherubim skillfully worked into them.	“Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker.
2	The length of one curtain shall have twenty-eight cubits. The width shall be four cubits. The entire set of curtains shall be of one measure.	The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall be the same size.	All the curtains are to be the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.
3	Five curtains shall be joined to one another, and the other five shall be similarly coupled together.	Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.	Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five.
4	You shall make loops of hyacinth on the sides at the edges of the curtains, so that they will be able to be joined to one another.	And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set. Likewise you shall make loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.	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.
5	A curtain shall have fifty loops on each of two sides, inserted in such a manner that loop may come against loop, and one can be fitted to the other.	Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one another.	Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.
6	You shall also make fifty rings of gold, with which the veils of the curtains are to be joined, so that it shall be one tabernacle.	And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single whole.	Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.
7	You shall also make eleven haircloth canopies to cover the roof of the tabernacle.	“You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.	“Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether.
8	The length of one canopy shall hold thirty cubits, and the width, four. The measure of all the canopies shall be equal.	The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains shall be the same size.	All eleven curtains are to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
9	Five of these you shall join by themselves, and six of these you shall couple to one another, in such a manner as to double the sixth canopy at the front of the roof.	You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and the sixth curtain you shall double over at the front of the tent.	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.
10	You shall also make fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, so that it may be able to be joined with the other, and fifty loops along the edge of the other canopy, so that it may be coupled with the other.	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 that is outermost in the second set.	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.
11	You shall also make fifty brass buckles, with which the loops may be joined, so that there may be one covering out of all.	“You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together that it may be a single whole.	Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit.
12	Then what will be left over of the canopies which are prepared for the roof, that is, one canopy which is in excess, from half of it you shall cover the back of the tabernacle.	And the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.	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.
13	And one cubit will hang down on one side, and another on the other side, which is more than the length of the curtains, protecting both sides of the tabernacle.	And the extra that remains in the length of the curtains, the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.	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.
14	You shall also make another covering for the roof from the skins of rams, dyed-red, and above that again, another covering of violet-colored skins.	And you shall make for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and a covering of goatskins on top.	Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.
15	You shall also make the standing panels of the tabernacle from setim wood.	“You shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.	“Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
16	Of these, each shall have ten cubits in length, and in width, one and one half.	Ten cubits shall be the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.	Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,
17	At the sides of the panels, there shall be made two dovetails, by which one panel may be connected to another panel; and in this way all the panels shall be prepared.	There shall be two tenons in each frame, for fitting together. So shall you do for all the frames of the tabernacle.	with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
18	Of these, twenty shall be at the meridian, which lies toward the south.	You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side;	Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle
19	For these, you shall cast forty bases of silver, so that two bases will lie under each panel at its two corners.	and forty bases of silver you shall make under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons;	and make forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection.
20	Likewise, at the second side of the tabernacle, which lies to the north, there shall be twenty panels,	and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty frames,	For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames
21	having forty bases of silver; two bases shall support each panel.	and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame, and two bases under the next frame.	and forty silver bases—two under each frame.
22	Truly, toward the western part of the tabernacle, you shall make six panels,	And for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six frames.	Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
23	and again another two, which will be raised at the corners, behind the back of the tabernacle.	And you shall make two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear;	and make two frames for the corners at the far end.
24	And these shall be joined together from bottom to top, and one joint shall retain them all. Likewise, two of the panels, which will be set at the corners, shall be served by similar joints.	they shall be separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring. Thus shall it be with both of them; they shall form the two corners.	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.
25	And together these will be eight panels, and their bases of silver, sixteen, counting two bases for each panel.	And there shall be eight frames, with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one frame, and two bases under another frame.	So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
26	You shall also make five bars of setim wood, to connect the panels on one side of the tabernacle,	“You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,	“Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
27	and five others on the other side, and the same number toward the western part.	and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward.	five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.
28	These shall be set along the middle of the panels, from one end all the way to the other end.	The middle bar, halfway up the frames, shall run from end to end.	The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames.
29	Likewise, the panels themselves you shall overlay with gold, and you shall establish rings of gold in them, by which the bars of the panels may be connected. These you shall cover with layers of gold.	You shall overlay the frames with gold and shall make their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold.	Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.
30	And you shall raise the tabernacle according to the example which was shown to you on the mountain.	Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain.	“Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.
31	You shall also make a veil of hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with a diversity of continuous and beautiful embroidery.	“And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it.	“Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.
32	And you shall suspend it before four columns of setim wood, which themselves certainly shall be overlaid with gold, and have heads of gold, but bases of silver.	And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver.	Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.
33	Then the veil shall be inserted through the rings. Beyond the veil, you shall place the ark of the testimony, where both the Sanctuary and the Sanctuary of Sanctuaries shall be divided.	And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy.	Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
34	And you shall place the propitiatory over the ark of the testimony, in the Holy of Holies.	You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place.	Put the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Place.
35	And the table shall be outside the veil. And opposite the table shall be the lampstand, in the meridian of the tabernacle. For the table shall stand at the north side.	And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side.	Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
36	You shall also make a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery.	“You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework.	“For the entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer.
37	And you shall overlay with gold five columns of setim wood, over which the tent shall be drawn. The heads of these shall be of gold, and the bases of brass.”	And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.	Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.
