curtain four cubits.
And every one of the curtains shall have one measure.
The five curtains shall be coupled together, one to another, and other five
curtains shall be coupled one to another.
And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvage
in the coupling.
And likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain in the
coupling of the second.
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.
And thou shalt make fifty tacks of gold, and couple the curtains together with the
tacks, and it shall be one tabernacle.
And thou shalt make curtains of goat's hair, to be a covering upon the
tabernacle.
Eleven curtains shalt thou make.
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.
And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by
themselves, and shalt double the six curtain in the forefront of the
tabernacle.
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.
And thou shalt make fifty tacks of brass, and put the tacks into the loops,
and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain
that remaineth, shall hang over the back side of the tabernacle.
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.
And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of ramskins dyed red, and a covering
above of badgerskins.

Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the
breadth of one board.
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.

two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another
board for his two tenons.

boards.
And there forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board, and two
sockets under another board.
And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards.
And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two
sides.
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.
And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver sixteen
sockets, two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
And thou shalt make bars of shiddim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the
tabernacle, 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.
And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.
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.
And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was
showed thee in the mount.
And thou shalt make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined
linen of cunning work.
With cherubim shall it be made.
And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shiddim wood overlaid with gold.
Their hooks shall be of gold upon the four sockets of silver.
And thou shalt hang up the veil under the tacks that thou mayest bring in thither
within the veil the ark of the testimony.
And the veil shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.
And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy
place.
And thou shalt set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the
table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south.
