You shall make eleven curtains.8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; one measurement for the eleven curtains.9 And you shall join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the face of the tent.10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost at the one joint, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain at the second joint.11 And you shall make fifty bronze hooks, put the hooks into the loops, and join the tent together, that it may be one.12 The remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.13 And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and on that side, to cover it.14 You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.15 And for the tabernacle you shall make the boards of acacia wood, standing upright.16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the width of each board.17 Two tenons shall be in each board to join one to another. Thus you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle.18 And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side.19 You shall make forty sockets of silver for the twenty boards: two sockets for each of the boards for its two tenons.20 And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, twenty boards21 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets for each of the boards.22 For the side of the tabernacle, westward, you shall make six boards.23 And you shall also make two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle.24 They shall be joined together at the bottom and they shall be joined together at the top by one ring. Thus it shall be for both of them. They shall be for the two corners.25 Thus there shall be eight boards with their sockets of silver; sixteen sockets; two sockets for each board.26 And you shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle,27 five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the side westward.28 The middle bar shall pass through the midst of the boards from end to end.29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, make their rings of gold as housings for the bars, and overlay the bars with gold.30 And you shall erect the tabernacle according to the ordinance which you were shown on the mountain.31 You shall make a veil of violet, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine twisted linen. It shall be done with cherubim of quality workmanship.32 You shall hang it upon four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold. Their hooks shall be gold, upon four sockets of silver.33 And you shall hang the veil from the hooks. And you shall bring the ark of the Testimony in there, inside the veil. The veil shall divide for you between the holy and the Holy of Holies.34 You shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the Testimony in the Holy of Holies.35 And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand across from the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.36 And you shall make a screen for the opening of the tent, of violet, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine twisted linen, the product of skillful weaving.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 five sockets of bronze for them.
