Chapter 36
8
All the wise of heart made the work of the tabernacle: ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet of worm, cherubim the work of skilled craft. He made them.
9
The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10
He joined the five curtains one to one, and he joined five curtains one to one.
11
He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the end in the coupling. In this way he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second coupling.
12
He made fifty loops on one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling, corresponding one loop to one.
13
He made fifty golden clasps and joined one curtain to one in the clasps, and the Tabernacle became one.
14
He made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: twelve curtains—he made them.
15
The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of one curtain was four cubits—one measurement for the twelve curtains.
16
He joined the five curtains of fine-twined linen and the six curtains of fine-twined linen.
17
And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the other coupling.
18
He made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent together as one.
19
And he made a covering for the Tent of rams' red skins, and a covering of tachash skins above.
20
He made boards for the tabernacle from acacia wood for standing up.
21
Each board was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
22
Two hands for the one board, joining one to one. In this way he made them for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
23
He made boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side, southward.
24
And he made forty silver bases under the twenty frames: two bases under the one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the one frame for its two tenons.
25
For the side of the Tabernacle on the second side toward the north, he made twenty boards.
26
and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board and two sockets under one board.
27
For the rear of the tabernacle, seaward, he made six boards.
28
He made two boards for the corners of the Tabernacle at the rear.
29
And they shall be twinned from below, and together they shall be unblemished to its head, to the one ring. In this way he made for both of them, for the two corners.
30
There will be eight boards and sixteen silver bases, two bases under one board.
31
He made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle.
32
And five of their bars for the boards of the side of the Tabernacle on the second side, and five of their bars for the boards of the Tabernacle at its rearward parts sea-ward.
33
And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from end to end.
34
He overlaid the boards with gold and made their rings of gold for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
35
He made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet of worm and fine twisted linen, the work of a designer; he made it with cherubim.
36
He made for it four acacia pillars and overlaid them with gold, with gold hooks, and he cast four silver bases for them.
37
He made a screen for the entrance of the tent, blue and purple and scarlet of the worm and fine twisted linen, work of embroidery.
38
And its five columns and its hooks and covered their heads and their bands with gold, and its five bases bronze.
