“And the Dwelling you shall make with ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet thread. With keruvim, the work of a skillful craftsman, you shall make them.
2
The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of one curtain four cubits. One measure shall be for all the curtains.
3
Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and five curtains joined one to another.
4
And you shall make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain at the end of the joined set, and likewise you shall make them upon the edge of the outer curtain in the second joined set.
5
Fifty 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 joined set, the loops corresponding one to another.
6
And you shall make fifty clasps of gold and join the curtains one to another with the clasps, and the Dwelling shall be one.
7
And you shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the Dwelling. Eleven curtains you shall make.
8
The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of one curtain four cubits. One measure shall be for the eleven curtains.
9
And you shall join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.
10
And you shall make fifty loops upon the edge of the one curtain at the end of the joined set, and fifty loops upon the edge of the curtain of the second joined set.
11
And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze and bring the clasps into the loops and join the tent together, and it shall be one.
12
And the excess that remains from the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the Dwelling.
13
And the cubit on this side and the cubit on that side, from what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the Dwelling, on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14
And you shall make a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of tachash skins above it.
15
And you shall make the boards for the Dwelling of acacia wood, standing upright.
16
Ten cubits shall be the length of one board, and one and a half cubits the width of one board.
17
Two tenons shall be in each board, joined one to another. Thus you shall make for all the boards of the Dwelling.
18
And you shall make the boards for the Dwelling: twenty boards for the south side, toward the south.
19
And forty sockets of silver you shall make beneath the twenty boards: two sockets beneath one board for its two tenons, and two sockets beneath another board for its two tenons.
20
And for the second side of the Dwelling, on the north side, twenty boards,
21
and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets beneath one board and two sockets beneath another board.
22
And for the rear of the Dwelling, toward the west, you shall make six boards.
23
And two boards you shall make for the corners of the Dwelling at the rear.
24
And they shall be doubled beneath, and together they shall be complete at its top into one ring. Thus it shall be for both of them; they shall be for the two corners.
25
And there shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: two sockets beneath one board and two sockets beneath another board.
26
And you shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling,
27
and five bars for the boards on the second side of the Dwelling, and five bars for the boards of the side of the Dwelling at the rear, toward the west.
28
And the middle bar, in the midst of the boards, shall pass through from end to end.
29
And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and their rings you shall make of gold as houses for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold.
30
And you shall raise up the Dwelling according to its judgment that was shown to you on the mountain.
31
And you shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet thread, and fine twisted linen. With keruvim, the work of a skillful craftsman, it shall be made.
32
And you shall place it upon four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold, upon four sockets of silver.
33
And you shall place the veil beneath the clasps, and you shall bring the ark of the Testimony there within the veil. And the veil shall divide for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy.
34
And you shall place the covering of atonement upon the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy.
35
And you shall place the table outside the veil, and the menorah opposite the table upon the south side of the Dwelling, and the table you shall place upon the north side.
36
And you shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet thread, and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer.
37
And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia wood and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold. And you shall cast for them five sockets of bronze.
