The Book of Exodus 26

26 As for the sacred tent, make it using ten long hangings of finely twisted linen. A skilled craftsman must take blue, purple, and red thread, and embroider these hangings with designs that represent the winged creatures that are above the chest. 2 Make each hanging 14. 5 meters long and two meters wide. Make them all the same size. 3 Sew five hangings together as one set, and sew the other five hangings together as another set. 4 For each set, make loops of blue cloth and fasten them along the outer edge of the hanging, at the end of each set. 5 Put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops at the edge of the second set so that the loops are opposite to each other. 6 Make 50 gold fasteners and fasten both of the sets together with them to make the sacred tent one unit.

7 Make a cover for the sacred tent from 11 pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair. 8 Each of the 11 pieces of cloth will be the same dimensions: 15 meters long and two meters wide. 9 Sew five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and sew the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set. Fold the sixth piece of cloth in half to make it double over the front of the cover. 10 Make 100 loops of blue cloth, and fasten 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and fasten 50 to the outer edge of the other set. 11 Make 50 bronze hooks and fasten the hooks to the loops to connect them, so the cover will be one unit. 12 Let the extra part of the tent cover, the half piece that extends beyond the linen cloth, hang over the back side of the sacred tent. 13 The extra half-meter of cover on each side, the part that extends beyond the linen cloth, must hang over the two sides of the sacred tent to protect the sides. 14 Make another cover to go over the tent from red rams’ skins, and a top cover from fine leather hides.

15 Make a standing framework from acacia wood for the sacred tent. 16 Each frame is to be five meters long and three-quarters of a meter wide. 17 Make two pegs at the bottom of each frame to fasten them together. Make each frame for the tabernacle this way. 18 Make 20 frames for the south side of the sacred tent. 19 Make 40 silver bases to go underneath the 20 frames. Put two bases under each frame and fit their two pegs into the bases. 20 For the other side—that is, the north side—of the sacred tent make 20 frames 21 and 40 silver bases for them. Put two bases under each frame. 22 For the rear of the sacred tent, on the west side, make six frames. 23 Make two frames for the rear corners of the sacred tent. 24 Match them to each other at the bottom and top. Secure the tops together with a ring. Do this for both, making them the corner pieces. 25 Make eight frames and 16 silver bases, two bases under each frame.

26 Make crossbars from acacia wood. Make five crossbars for the frames on the north side of the sacred tent, 27 five crossbars for the frames on the south side of the sacred tent, and five crossbars for the frames at the rear of the sacred tent, the west side. 28 The center crossbar, right in the middle of the frames, will reach all the way from edge to edge. 29 Cover the frames and crossbars with gold. Make the rings for fastening the crossbars to the frames from gold. 30 Build the sacred tent in the way that I have shown you here on this mountain.

31 Make a curtain from fine linen. A skilled craftsman must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn, making designs to represent the winged creatures that are above the sacred chest. 32 Suspend the curtain from gold hooks on four gold-covered posts made from acacia wood. Set each post in a silver base. 33 Suspend the curtain from fasteners attached to the roof of the sacred tent. Put the sacred chest behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. 34 Put the lid on top of the sacred chest in the Most Holy Place. 35 Put the table and the lampstand on the other side of the curtain on opposite sides from each other. Put the lampstand on the south side of the sacred tent, and put the table for the sacred bread on the north side. 36 Make a curtain as the tent entrance. A skilled weaver must make it from fine linen with blue, purple, and red yarn. 37 To hold up this curtain, make five posts from acacia wood. Cover them with gold and fasten gold clasps to them. Also make a bronze base for each of these posts.
