"Make the Tabernacle from ten curtains of finely woven linen. Decorate the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim. |
2
|
These ten curtains must all be exactly the same size-- 42 feet long and 6 feet wide. |
3
|
Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, then join the other five into a second long curtain. |
4
|
Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set. |
5
|
The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain. |
6
|
Then make fifty gold clasps and fasten the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece. |
7
|
"Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle. |
8
|
These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size-- 45 feet long and 6 feet wide. |
9
|
Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent. |
10
|
Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain. |
11
|
Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece. |
12
|
The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle. |
13
|
Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered. |
14
|
Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather. |
15
|
"For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood. |
16
|
Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide, |
17
|
with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical. |
18
|
Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle. |
19
|
Also make forty silver bases-- two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases. |
20
|
For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames, |
21
|
with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame. |
22
|
Make six frames for the rear-- the west side of the Tabernacle-- |
23
|
along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle. |
24
|
These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way. |
25
|
So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases-- two bases under each frame. |
26
|
"Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle |
27
|
and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west. |
28
|
The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other. |
29
|
Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well. |
30
|
"Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain. |
31
|
"For the inside of the Tabernacle, make a special curtain of finely woven linen. Decorate it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim. |
32
|
Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases. |
33
|
Hang the inner curtain from clasps, and put the Ark of the Covenant in the room behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. |
34
|
"Then put the Ark's cover-- the place of atonement-- on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place. |
35
|
Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side. |
36
|
"Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread. |
37
|
Craft five posts from acacia wood. Overlay them with gold, and hang the curtain from them with gold hooks. Cast five bronze bases for the posts. |
