The
Tabernacle
26:1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with
ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet: with cherubim of cunning work shalt thou make them.
26:2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty
cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and
every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
26:3 The five curtains shall be coupled together one to
another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to
another.
26:4 And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the
one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise
shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in
the coupling of the second.
26:5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and
fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that
is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take
hold one of another.
26:6 And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple
the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one
tabernacle.
26:7 And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a
covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou
make.
26:8 The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and
the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven
curtains shall be all of one measure.
26:9 And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and
six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth
curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle.
26:10 And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the
one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops
in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
26:11 And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put
the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together,
that it may be one.
26:12 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the
tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the
backside of the tabernacle.
26:13 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other
side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains
of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle
on this side and on that side, to cover it.
26:14 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams'
skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers' skins.
26:15 And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of
shittim wood standing up.
26:16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a
cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.
26:17 Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order
one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards
of the tabernacle.
26:18 And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle,
twenty boards on the south side southward.
26:19 And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the
twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two
tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two
tenons.
26:20 And for the second side of the tabernacle on the
north side there shall be twenty boards:
26:21 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under
one board, and two sockets under another board.
26:22 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou
shalt make six boards.
26:23 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the
tabernacle in the two sides.
26:24 And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they
shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one
ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the
two corners.
26:25 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of
silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and
two sockets under another board.
26:26 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for
the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
26:27 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the
tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the
tabernacle, for the two sides westward.
26:28 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall
reach from end to end.
26:29 And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make
their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt
overlay the bars with gold.
26:30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to
the fashion thereof which was showed thee in the mount.
26:31 And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with
cherubim shall it be made:
26:32 And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim
wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon
the four sockets of silver.
26:33 And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches,
that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of
the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between
the holy place and the most holy.
26:34 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the
testimony in the most holy place.
26:35 And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and
the candlestick over against the table on the side of the
tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on
the north side.
26:36 And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the
tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen, wrought with needlework.
26:37 And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of
shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks
shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass
for them. |
