Exodus 26:15-37

15“Then you shall make 1the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 16Ten cubits shall be the length of 2each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 17There shall be two tenons for each board, 3fitted to one another; thus you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards 4for the south side. 19You shall make forty 56sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two 7sockets under one board for its two tenons and two 8sockets under another board for its two tenons; 20and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards, 21and their forty 9sockets of silver; two 10sockets under one board and two 11sockets under another board. 22For the 12rear of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards. 23You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the 13rear. 24They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete 14to its top 15to the first ring; thus it shall be with both of them: they shall form the two corners. 25There shall be eight boards with their 16sockets of silver, sixteen 17sockets; two 18sockets under one board and two 19sockets under another board.

26“Then you shall make 20bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 27and five bars for the boards of the 21other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the 22rear side to the west. 28The middle bar in the 23center of the boards shall pass through from end to end. 29You shall overlay the boards with gold and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30Then you shall erect the tabernacle 24according to its plan which you have been shown in the mountain.

31“You shall make 25a veil of 26blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman. 32You shall 27hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks also being of gold, on four 28sockets of silver. 33You shall 29hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring in 30the ark of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall 31serve for you as a partition 32between the holy place and the holy of holies. 3433You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies. 3534You shall set the table outside the veil, and the 35lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.

36“36You shall make a screen for the doorway of the tent of 37blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a 38weaver. 3739You shall make five pillars of acacia for the screen and overlay them with gold, their hooks also being of gold; and you shall cast five 40sockets of 41bronze for them.
