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.	“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	These ten curtains must all be exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.	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	Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, then join the other five into a second long curtain.	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	Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set.	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	The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.	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	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 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	“Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for 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	These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.	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	Join 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.	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	Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain.	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	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.	“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	The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over 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	Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.	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	Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.	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	“For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.	“You shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.	“Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
16	Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,	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	with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical.	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	Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.	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	Also make forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.	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	For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,	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	with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.	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	Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—	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	along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners 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	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.	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	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 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	“Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north 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 for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.	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	The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.	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	Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well.	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	“Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown 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	“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.	“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	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 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	Hang 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.	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	“Then put the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.	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	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 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	“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.	“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	Craft 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.	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.
