Exodus 26

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide—all curtains the same size.

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

with forty silver bases under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

27
English · Berean Standard Bible

five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

28
English · Berean Standard Bible

The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.

29
English · Berean Standard Bible

Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

30
English · Berean Standard Bible

So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

31
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

32
English · Berean Standard Bible

Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

33
English · Berean Standard Bible

And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34
English · Berean Standard Bible

Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

35
English · Berean Standard Bible

And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.

36
English · Berean Standard Bible

For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

37
English · Berean Standard Bible

Make five posts of acacia wood for the curtain, overlay them with gold, use hooks of gold, and cast five bronze bases for them.
