(Exodus 36:20–34)

15You are to constructH6213 uprightH5975 framesH7175 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 for the tabernacleH4908. 16Each frameH7175 is to be tenH6235 cubitsH520 longH753 and a cubitH520 and a halfH2677H520 wideH7341.5 17TwoH8147 tenonsH30276 must be connectedH7947 toH413 eachH802 otherH269 for eachH259 frameH7175.

20For the secondH8145 sideH6763 of the tabernacleH4908, the northH6828 sideH6285, make twentyH6242 framesH7175 21and fortyH705 silverH3701 basesH134—twoH8147 basesH134 underH8478 eachH259 frameH7175.

22MakeH6213 sixH8337 framesH7175 for the rearH3411 of the tabernacleH4908, the west sideH3220, 23and twoH8147 framesH7175 for the two backH3411 cornersH4742 of the tabernacleH4908, 24coupledH8380 togetherH3162H1961H8535 fromH5921 bottomH4295 to topH7218 and fitted intoH413 a singleH259 ringH2885. TheseH8147 will serve asH1961 the twoH8147 cornersH4740. 25So there are to beH1961 eightH8083 framesH7175 and sixteenH8337 silverH3701 basesH134H6240—twoH8147 underH8478 eachH259 frameH7175.

26You are also to makeH6213 fiveH2568 crossbarsH1280 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 for the framesH7175 on oneH259 sideH6763 of the tabernacleH4908, 27fiveH2568 forH7175 those on the otherH8145 sideH6763, and fiveH2568 for thoseH7175 on the rearH3411 sideH6763 of the tabernacleH4908, to the westH3220.

28The centralH8484 crossbarH1280 in the middleH8432 of the framesH7175 shall extendH1272 fromH4480 one endH7097 to the otherH413H7097. 29OverlayH6823 the framesH7175 with goldH2091 and makeH6213 goldH2091 ringsH2885 to holdH1004 the crossbarsH1280. Also overlayH6823 the crossbarsH1280 with goldH2091.

So the veilH6532 will separateH914 the Holy PlaceH6944H996 from the Most Holy PlaceH6944.8

34PutH5414 the mercy seatH3727 onH5921 the arkH727 of the TestimonyH5715 in the Most Holy PlaceH6944. 35And placeH7760 the tableH7979 outsideH2351 the veilH6532 onH5921 the northH6828 sideH6763 of the tabernacleH4908, andH853 putH5414 the lampstandH4501 oppositeH5227 the tableH7979, onH5921 the southH8486 sideH6763.
