Exodus 26
1 And thou shalt make the tabernacle,
ten curtains of fine linen spun, and blue and purple, and scarlet spun
with cherubs; thou shalt make them with work of a
weaver. 2 The length of one curtain
shall be eight and twenty cubits, and one curtain shall be the breadth of four
cubits: there shall be the same measure to all the curtains.
3 And the five curtains shall be
joined one to another, and the other five curtains
shall be closely connected the one with the other.
4 And thou shalt make for them loops
of blue on the edge of one curtain, on one side for the coupling, and so shalt
thou make on the edge of the outer curtain for the second coupling.
5 Fifty loops shalt thou make for one
curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make on the part of the curtain answering
to the coupling of the second, opposite each other,
corresponding to each other
ai. e. at each coupling.at each point. 6 And thou shalt make
fifty golden rings; and thou shalt join the curtains to each other with the
rings, and it shall be one tabernacle.
7 And thou shalt make for a covering
of the tabernacle skins with the hair on, thou shalt make them eleven skins.
8 The length of one skin thirty
cubits, and the breadth of one skin four cubits: there shall be the same
measure to the eleven skins. 9 And
thou shalt join the five skins together, and the six skins together; and thou
shalt double the sixth skin in front of the tabernacle.
10 And thou shalt make fifty loops on
the border of one skin, which is in the midst for the joinings; and thou shalt
make fifty loops on the edge of the second skin that joins it.
11 And thou shalt make fifty brazen
rings; and thou shalt join the rings by the loops, and thou shalt join the
skins, and they shall be one. 12 And
thou shalt fix at the end that which is over in the skins of the tabernacle;
the half of the skin that is left shalt thou fold over, according to the
overplus of the skins of the tabernacle; thou shalt fold it over behind the
tabernacle. 13 A cubit on this side,
and a cubit on that side of that which remains of the skins, of the length of
the skins of the tabernacle: it shall be folding over the sides of the
tabernacle on this side and that side, that it may cover it.
14 And thou shalt make for a covering
of the tabernacle rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins as coverings above.
15 And thou shalt make the posts of
the tabernacle of incorruptible wood.
16 Of ten cubits shalt thou make one
post, and the breadth of one post of a cubit and a half.
17 Two joints shalt thou make in one
post, answering the one to the other: so shalt thou do to all the posts of the
tabernacle. 18 And thou shalt make
posts to the tabernacle, twenty posts on the north side.
19 And thou shalt make to the twenty
posts forty silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two
sockets to the other post on both its sides.
20 And for the next side, toward the
south, twenty posts, 21 and their
forty silver sockets: two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two
sockets to the other post on both its sides.
22 And on the back of the tabernacle
at the part which is toward the west thou shalt make
six posts. 23 And thou shalt make two
posts on the corners of the tabernacle behind.
24 And it shall be equal below, they
shall be equal toward the same part from the heads to one joining; so shalt
thou make to both the two corners, let them be equal.
25 And there shall be eight posts,
and their sixteen silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides,
and two sockets to the other post.
26 And thou shalt make bars of
incorruptible wood; five to one post on one side of the tabernacle,
27 and five bars to one post on the
second side of the tabernacle, and five bars to the hinder posts, on the side
of the tabernacle toward the sea.
28 And let the bar in the middle
between the posts go through from the one side to the other side.
29 And thou shalt gild the posts with
gold; and thou shalt make golden rings, into which thou shalt introduce the
bars, and thou shalt gild the bars with gold.
30 And thou shalt set up the
tabernacle according to the pattern shewed thee in the mount.
31 And thou shalt make a veil of blue
and purple and scarlet woven, and fine linen spun: thou shalt make it cherubs
in woven work.
32 And thou shalt set it upon four
posts of incorruptible wood overlaid with gold; and their tops
shall be gold, and their four sockets
shall be of silver.
33 And thou shalt put the veil on the
posts, and thou shalt carry in thither within the veil the ark of the
testimony; and the veil shall make a separation for you between the holy and
the holy of holies. 34 And thou shalt
screen with the veil the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.
35 And thou shalt set the table
outside the veil, and the candlestick opposite the table on the south side of
the tabernacle; and thou shalt put the table on the north side of the
tabernacle. 36 And thou shalt make a
screen for the door of the tabernacle of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet
and fine linen spun, the work of the embroiderer.
37 And thou shalt make for the veil
five posts, and thou shalt gild them with gold; and their chapiters shall be
gold; and thou shalt cast for them five brazen sockets.
