26:1 And the tabernacle¹ you will make with² ten curtains of finely twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet;³ you will make them with⁴ cherubim, the work of an artistic designer. 26:2 The length of each⁵ curtain will be 42 feet long and the breadth of each curtain will be 6 feet wide⁶—one measure for every one of the curtains. 26:3 Five curtains will be joined together,⁷ one to another,⁸ and the other⁹ five curtains joined together, one to another. 26:4 And you will make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and in the same way you will make loops¹⁰ in the outer edge of the other curtain in the second set. 26:5 You will make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you will make fifty loops on the end curtain which is on the second set, so that the loops may take hold of one another.¹¹ 26:6 Then you will make fifty gold clasps, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle is a unit.¹²

26:7 And you will make curtains of goats’ hair¹³ for a tent over the tabernacle;¹⁴ you will make¹⁵ eleven curtains. 26:8 The length of each¹⁶ curtain will be 45 feet, and the breadth of each curtain will be six feet—one measure for the eleven curtains. 26:9 And you will join five curtains together by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves. And you will double over¹⁷ the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. 26:10 And you will make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joins the second set. 26:11 Then you will make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together that it might be a unit.¹⁸ 26:12 Now the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, you will let hang over at the backside of the tabernacle.¹⁹ 26:13 And the foot and a half²⁰ on the one side, and the foot and a half on the other side, of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, will hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.²¹

26:14 And you will make a covering²² for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows.

26:15 And you will make frames²³ for the tabernacle out of²⁴ acacia wood standing upright. 26:16 Each²⁵ frame is to be 15 feet long, and each frame will be 2 feet, 3 inches wide, 26:17 with two projections²⁶ for each board, set in order one against another.²⁷ You will make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 26:18 And you will make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side,²⁸

26:19 and you will make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two projections, and likewise ²⁹ two bases under each frame for its two projections; 26:20 and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, twenty frames, 26:21 and their forty silver bases, two bases under the one frame, and two bases under each frame. 26:22 And for the back of the tabernacle that faces west³⁰ you will make six frames. 26:23 And two frames you will make for the corners of the tabernacle on the two back sides. 26:24 At these two corners³¹ they must be doubled from the lower end and completed together at the top in one ring. So it will be for both of the corners.³² 26:25 So there will be eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under one frame, and two bases under each frame.

26:26 And you will make bars out of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 26:27 and five bars for the frames on the second side, and five bars for the frames on the back side facing west. 26:28 And the middle bar in the midst of the frames will reach from end to end.³³ 26:29 And the frames you will overlay with gold, and you will make their rings of gold for places for the bars, and you will overlay the bars with gold. 26:30 And you will set up the tabernacle according to the plan³⁴ which you were shown on the mountain.

26:31 And you will make a veil³⁵ of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twined linen; it will be made³⁶ with cherubim, the work of an artistic designer. 26:32 And you will hang it³⁷ with gold hooks³⁸ on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold, set in³⁹ four silver bases. 26:33 And you will hang the veil under the clasps, and bring in there behind the veil⁴⁰ the ark of the testimony; and the veil will make a division for you between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies.⁴¹ 26:34 And you will put the propitiatory lid⁴² on the ark of the testimony in the Holy of Holies. 26:35 And you will put the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle facing south; and you will place the table on the north side. 26:36 And you will make a hanging⁴³ for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarn and finely twined linen, the work of an embroiderer. 26:37 And you will make for the hanging five posts of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks will be⁴⁴ gold; and you will cast five bronze bases for them.⁴⁵
