Exodus 36:20-38

20He made the frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood as uprights.

21The length of each frame was fifteen feet, the width of each frame was two and a quarter feet,

22with two projections per frame parallel one to another. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

23So he made frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side.

24He made forty silver bases under the twenty frames – two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise two bases under the next frame for its two projections,

25and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames

26and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame and two bases under the next frame.

27And for the back of the tabernacle on the west he made six frames.

28He made two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back.

29At the two corners they were doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring. So he did for both.

30So there were eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under each frame.

31He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle

32and five bars for the frames on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle for the back side on the west.

33He made the middle bar to reach from end to end in the center of the frames.

34He overlaid the frames with gold and made their rings of gold to provide places for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.

35He made the special curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of an artistic designer.

36He made for it four posts of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, with gold hooks, and he cast for them four silver bases.

37He made a hanging for the entrance of the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer,

38and its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their tops and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.
