Exodus 26
1THOU shalt make also the tabernacle with ten curtains made of cotton thread and blue and purple and scarlet yarn with cherubs. With the workmanship of a tapestry weaver thou shalt make them.
2The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits and its breadth four cubits. All the curtains shall be of the same measure.
3And five curtains shall be joined together one to another and the other five curtains shall be joined together one to another.
4And thou shalt make for them loops of blue yarn on the border of the outer curtain on one side for the coupling; and the same thou shalt do on the selvage of the outermost curtain of the other sheet for the second coupling.
5Fifty loops thou shalt make for the one curtain, and fifty loops thou shalt make on the selvage of the other curtain for joining them together. Being directly opposite one to another they will meet each other at each joining place.
6And thou shalt make fifty links of gold and fasten the curtains one to another with these links; and it shall be one tabernacle.
7And thou shalt make a covering for the tabernacle of hair cloth. Thou shalt make eleven hair cloth curtains.
8The length of the first curtain shall be thirty cubits and the breadth four cubits. The eleven hair cloth curtains shall be of the same measure.
9And thou shalt fasten five hair curtains together, and six hair curtains together. And thou shalt lap the sixth curtain over directly in front of the tabernacle.
10And thou shalt make fifty loops on the border of the first hair curtain which is in the middle over the junction; and thou shalt make fifty loops on the border of the other hair curtain which is to be joined with it,
11and thou shalt make fifty links of brass, and fasten the links together by the loops and so couple the hair curtains that they may be one.
12And thou shalt put the overplus of the hair curtains of the tabernacle underneath—the half of the hair curtain which remaineth, thou shalt fold in underneath that being the surplusage of the hair curtains of the tabernacle.
13So thou shalt fold back, underneath the tabernacle, a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other from the length of the hair curtain more than that of the tabernacle. It shall completely infold both the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it.
14And thou shalt make a counter covering for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red and an upper covering of skins dyed blue.
15Thou shalt also make pilasters for the tabernacle of incorruptible wood.
16Thou shalt make each pilaster ten cubits long and a cubit and a half broad
17with two rabbets to each pilaster to fit the pilasters one to another. In this manner thou shalt make all the pilasters of the tabernacle.
18And thou shalt make the pilasters for the tabernacle twenty pilasters for the north side;
19and for these twenty pilasters thou shalt make forty bases of silver, two for each pilaster, for both the ends thereof:
20And for the other side towards the south, twenty pilasters
21with their forty bases of silver, two for each pilaster for both the ends thereof:
22and for the end of the tabernacle which is towards the west thou shalt make six pilasters;
23and at the corners of the tabernacle out of the hinder ends thou shalt make two pilasters and the side on the end shall be of the same piece and as wide as the other side—
24both sides shall be equal from the corner to the first joint. That thou mayst do this at both corners the corner pilasters must have equal sides.
25So there will be eight pilasters and their bases of silver sixteen, two for each pilaster for the two ends thereof.
26And thou shalt make bars of incorruptible wood—five for one range of pilasters on one side of the tabernacle,
27and five bars for the other range of pilasters on the other side of the tabernacle; and five for the end of the tabernacle facing the west.
28And let the bar which is along the middle of the ranges of pilasters reach from one corner to the other.
29And thou shalt overlay the pilasters with gold. And thou shalt make rings of gold into which thou shalt put the bars; and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.
30And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the pattern shewn thee on this mount.
31Thou shalt also make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarn and cotton thread.
32This thou shalt make a work inwoven with cherubs: and thou shalt hang it on four pillars of incorruptible wood overlaid with gold, the capitals of which are to be of gold and their four bases of silver.
33And having hung up the veil upon the pillars, thou shalt bring in there within the veil the ark of the testimony. And the veil shall make a division for you, between the Holy and the Holy of Holies.
34And with the veil thou shalt cover from view the ark of the testimony in the Holy of Holies.
35And thou shalt place the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the table on the south side of the tabernacle, and the table thou shalt place on the north side of the tabernacle.
36And thou shalt make a draw curtain for the door of the tabernacle, of blue and purple and scarlet yarn and cotton thread, the work of an embroiderer;
37And for this veil thou shalt make five pillars and overlay them with gold and their capitals shall be of gold but thou shalt cast for them five bases of brass.
