1. You shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim of skilled workmanship.
2. The length of each curtain is twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each four cubits; all the curtains share one measure.

4. You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling, and likewise on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second coupling.
5. Make fifty loops in one curtain, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling, each opposite its fellow.
6. You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains each to its fellow with the clasps, and the tabernacle shall be one.
7. You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you shall make them eleven curtains.
8. The length of each curtain is thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits—one measure for the eleven curtains.

10. You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second coupling.
11. You shall make fifty bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, so that it becomes one.

15. You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing.

20. For the second side of the tabernacle toward the north quarter, twenty boards.
21. and their forty silver sockets; two sockets beneath one board, and two sockets beneath the next board.
22. For the rear of the tabernacle on the west, make six boards.
23. You shall make two boards for the rear corners of the tabernacle.
24. They shall be twinned from below, and together they shall be undivided to its top unto the one ring; thus it shall be for both of them, they shall be for the two corners.
25. There shall be eight boards and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under the other board.
26. You shall make five bars of acacia wood for the boards along one side of the tabernacle.
27. And five bars for the boards of the tabernacle's other side, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle's rear side toward the west.

30. You shall erect the tabernacle according to its pattern, as shown you on the mountain.
31. You shall make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen, skillfully worked with cherubim.
32. You shall hang it on four acacia pillars overlaid with gold, their hooks of gold, on four silver sockets.
33. You shall place the veil under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony there within the veil, and the veil shall separate for you between the holy and the holy of holies.
34. Place the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.
35. You shall set the table outside the veil, and the candlestick before the table on the south side of the dwelling, and you shall appoint the table on the north side.
