Exodus 26:1-16
“You are to constructH6213 the tabernacleH4908 itself with tenH6235 curtainsH3407 of finely spunH7806 linenH8336, each with blueH8504, purpleH713, and scarlet yarnH8438H8144, and cherubimH3742 skillfullyH2803 workedH4639 into themH853. 2EachH259 curtainH3407 shall be twenty-eightH8083 cubitsH520 longH753 and fourH702 cubitsH520 wideH73411—allH3605 curtainsH3407 the sameH259 sizeH4060.
3FiveH2568 of the curtainsH3407 are to beH1961 joinedH2266 togetherH802H413H269, and the other fiveH2568 joinedH2266 as well. 4MakeH6213 loopsH3924 of blueH8504 material onH5921 the edgeH8193 of the endH7098 curtainH3407 in the firstH259 setH2279, and doH6213 the sameH3651 for the endH8193H7020 curtainH3407 in the secondH8145 setH4225.
5MakeH6213 fiftyH2572 loopsH3924 on oneH259 curtainH3407 and fiftyH2572 loopsH3924 on the endH7097 curtainH3407 of the secondH8145 setH4225, so that the loopsH3924 line upH6901 oppositeH802H413 one anotherH269. 6MakeH6213 fiftyH2572 goldH2091 clasps as wellH7165, and joinH2266 the curtainsH3407 togetherH802H413H269 with the claspsH7165, so that the tabernacleH4908 will beH1961 a unitH259.
7You are to makeH6213 curtainsH3407 of goat hairH5795 for the tentH168 overH5921 the tabernacleH4908—elevenH6249H6240 curtainsH3407 in all. 8EachH259 of the elevenH6249H6240 curtainsH3407 is to be the sameH259 sizeH4060—thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 longH753 and fourH702 cubitsH520 wideH7341.2
9JoinH2266 fiveH2568 of the curtainsH3407 into one setH905 and the other sixH8337 into anotherH3407H905. Then fold the sixthH8345 curtain overH3407 doubleH3717 atH413 the frontH4136H6440 of the tentH168.
10MakeH6213 fiftyH2572 loopsH3924 alongH5921 the edgeH8193 of theH259 endH7020 curtainH3407 in the first setH2279, and fiftyH2572 loopsH3924 alongH5921 the edgeH8193 of the corresponding curtainH3407 in the secondH8145 setH2279. 11MakeH6213 fiftyH2572 bronzeH5178 claspsH7165 and putH935 them through the loopsH3924 to joinH2266 the tentH168 togetherH1961 as a unitH259.
12As for the overlapH5629 that remainsH5736 of the tentH168 curtainsH3407, the halfH2677 curtainH3407 that is left overH5736 shall hang downH5628 overH5921 the backH268 of the tabernacleH4908. 13And the tentH168 curtainsH3407 will be a cubitH5203 longerH753 on either sideH2088, and the excessH5736 willH1961 hangH5628 overH5921 the sidesH6654 of the tabernacleH4908H2088 to cover itH3680.
14Also makeH6213 a coveringH4372 for the tentH168 out of ramH352 skinsH5785 dyed redH119, and over thatH4605 a coveringH4372H5785 of fine leatherH8476.4
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
