Exodus 26:1-20 ▼

1 “ And you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely woven linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn; with cherubim, the work of a designer, you shall make them.

2 The length of the one curtain is eight and twenty by the cubit, and the width of the one curtain four by the cubit—one measurement for all the curtains.

3 Five curtains shall be joined, each to her sister, and five curtains joined each to her sister.

4 And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, from the end at the joining, and likewise you shall do on the edge of the outermost curtain, at the seam of the second.

5 Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the end of the curtain that is at the seam of the second, that the loops may be clasped each to her sister.

6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and join the curtains each to her sister with the clasps, and the tabernacle shall be one.

7 And you shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; one and ten curtains you shall make them.

8 The length of the one curtain is thirty by the cubit, and the width of the one curtain four by the cubit. One measurement for the one and ten curtains.

9 And you shall join the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the face of the tent.

10 And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain, the outermost, at the joining, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain at the seam of the second.

11 And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and bring the clasps into the loops, and join together the tent, and it shall be one.

12 And the excess that remains in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 And the cubit from this side and the cubit from that side, in the remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle from this side and from that side to cover it.

14 And you shall make a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of badger skins from above.

15 And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood standing upright.

16 Ten cubits is the length of the board, and a cubit and a half cubit is the width of the one board,

17 with two tenons in the one board for binding each to her sister. Thus you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18 And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side, southward.

19 And forty bases of silver you shall make under the twenty boards, two bases under the one board for its two tenons, and two bases under the one board for its two tenons.

20 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, are twenty boards,
