Context of Exodus 26:30
28The bar that goes across the centre of the boards must reach from one end of the tabernacle to the other end. 29Use gold to cover the boards and to make rings for the boards. These rings will hold the bars in place across the boards. Also cover the wooden bars with gold. Make the tabernacle the same as the plan that I showed to you on the mountain. 31Use blue, purple and red material and good linen to make a special curtain. A worker must use special skills to make pictures of cherubs on it. 32Use gold rings to hang the curtain from four poles of acacia wood. Cover these poles with gold. Then fix them on four silver bases.
