Exodus 26:15-37

15“Then you shall make 1the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 162Ten cubits shall be the length of 3each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 17There shall be two tenons for each board, 4fitted to one another; that is what you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards 5for the south side. 19You shall make forty 6bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board for its two tenons and two bases under another board for its two tenons; 20and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards, 21and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board and two bases under another board. 22For the 7back of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards. 23You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the 8back. 24They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete 9to its top 10to the first ring; this is how it shall be with both of them: they shall form the two corners. 25And there shall be eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board and two bases under another board.

26“Then you shall make 11bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 27and five bars for the boards of the 12other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the 13back side to the west. 28The middle bar in the 14center of the boards shall pass through from end to end. 29And you 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 15according to its plan which you have been shown on the mountain.

31“You shall also make 16a veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 32Then you shall 17hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks also of gold, on four bases of silver. 33You shall 18hang up the veil under the clasps, and bring in 19the ark of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall 20serve as a partition for you 21between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. 3422You shall put the 23atoning cover on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35And 24you shall set the table outside the veil, and the 25lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.

36“26You shall also make a curtain for the doorway of the tent of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a 27weaver. 37And 28you shall make five pillars of acacia for the curtain and overlay them with gold, their hooks also of gold; and you shall cast five bases of 29bronze for them.
