Exodus 36:20-38

20He made upright supports of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

21Each support was fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.

22Each support had two tenons for joining one to another. He did the same for all the supports of the tabernacle.

23He made supports for the tabernacle as follows: He made twenty for the south side,

24and he made forty silver bases to put under the twenty supports, two bases under the first support for its two tenons, and two bases under each of the following supports for their two tenons.

25For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty supports,

26with their forty silver bases, two bases under the first support and two bases under each of the following ones.

27And for the back of the tabernacle, on the west side, he made six supports.

28He also made two additional supports for the two back corners of the tabernacle.

29They were paired at the bottom and joined together at the top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners.

30So there were eight supports with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under each one.

31He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the supports on one side of the tabernacle,

32five crossbars for the supports on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for those at the back of the tabernacle on the west.

33He made the central crossbar run through the middle of the supports from one end to the other.

34He overlaid them with gold and made their rings out of gold as holders for the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35Then he made the curtain with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. He made it with a design of cherubim worked into it.

36He made four pillars of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold. And he cast four silver bases for the pillars.

37He made a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen for the entrance to the tent,

38together with its five pillars and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the pillars and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.
