| 1"The tabernacle itself you are to make with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet; you are to make them with cherubim that are the work of an artistic designer. | 1“Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns; you shall make them with cherubim skillfully worked into them. |
| 2The length of each curtain is to be forty-two feet, and the width of each curtain is to be six feet--the same size for each of the curtains. | 2The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall be the same size. |
| 3Five curtains are to be joined, one to another, and the other five curtains are to be joined, one to another. | 3Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another. |
| 4You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and in the same way you are to make loops in the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set. | 4And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set. Likewise you shall make loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set. |
| 5You are to make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you are to make fifty loops on the end curtain which is on the second set, so that the loops are opposite one to another. | 5Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one another. |
| 6You are to make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle is a unit. | 6And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single whole. |
| 7"You are to make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you are to make eleven curtains. | 7“You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make. |
| 8The length of each curtain is to be forty-five feet, and the width of each curtain is to be six feet--the same size for the eleven curtains. | 8The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains shall be the same size. |
| 9You are to join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. You are to double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. | 9You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and the sixth curtain you shall double over at the front of the tent. |
| 10You are to make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joins the second set. | 10You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set. |
| 11You are to make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it is a unit. | 11“You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together that it may be a single whole. |
| 12Now the part that remains of the curtains of the tent--the half curtain that remains will hang over at the back of the tabernacle. | 12And the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. |
| 13The foot and a half on the one side and the foot and a half on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent will hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on one side and the other side, to cover it. | 13And the extra that remains in the length of the curtains, the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it. |
| 14"You are to make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather. | 14And you shall make for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and a covering of goatskins on top. |
| 15"You are to make the frames for the tabernacle out of acacia wood as uprights. | 15“You shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood. |
| 16Each frame is to be fifteen feet long, and each frame is to be two feet three inches wide, | 16Ten cubits shall be the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame. |
| 17with two projections per frame parallel one to another. You are to make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. | 17There shall be two tenons in each frame, for fitting together. So shall you do for all the frames of the tabernacle. |
| 18So you are to make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side, | 18You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side; |
| 19and you are to make forty silver bases to go 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; | 19and forty bases of silver you shall make under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons; |
| 20and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, twenty frames, | 20and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty frames, |
| 21and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame, and two bases under the next frame. | 21and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame, and two bases under the next frame. |
| 22And for the back of the tabernacle on the west you will make six frames. | 22And for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six frames. |
| 23You are to make two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back. | 23And you shall make two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear; |
| 24At the two corners they must be doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring. So it will be for both. | 24they shall be separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring. Thus shall it be with both of them; they shall form the two corners. |
| 25So there are to be eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under the first frame, and two bases under the next frame. | 25And there shall be eight frames, with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one frame, and two bases under another frame. |
| 26"You are to make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, | 26“You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle, |
| 27and five bars for the frames on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames on the back of the tabernacle on the west. | 27and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward. |
| 28The middle bar in the center of the frames will reach from end to end. | 28The middle bar, halfway up the frames, shall run from end to end. |
| 29You are to overlay the frames with gold and make their rings of gold to provide places for the bars, and you are to overlay the bars with gold. | 29You shall overlay the frames with gold and shall make their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold. |
| 30You are to set up the tabernacle according to the plan that you were shown on the mountain. | 30Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain. |
| 31"You are to make a special curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen; it is to be made with cherubim, the work of an artistic designer. | 31“And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it. |
| 32You are to hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold, set in four silver bases. | 32And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver. |
| 33You are to hang this curtain under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony in there behind the curtain. The curtain will make a division for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. | 33And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy. |
| 34You are to put the atonement lid on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. | 34You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. |
| 35You are to put the table outside the curtain and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table, and you are to place the table on the north side. | 35And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side. |
| 36"You are to make a hanging for the entrance of the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer. | 36“You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework. |
| 37You are to make for the hanging five posts of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, and their hooks will be gold, and you are to cast five bronze bases for them. | 37And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them. |
