Exodus 25:23-26:30

²³You are also to make a table of acacia wood two cubits long, a cubit wide, and a cubit and a half high.

²⁴Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it.

²⁵And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.

²⁶Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners at its four legs.

²⁷The rings are to be close to the rim, to serve as holders for the poles used to carry the table.

²⁸Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that the table may be carried with them.

²⁹You are also to make the plates and dishes, as well as the pitchers and bowls for pouring drink offerings. Make them out of pure gold.

³⁰And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.

³¹Then you are to make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. It shall be made of one piece, including its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.

³²Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand — three on one side and three on the other.

³³There are to be three cups shaped like almond blossoms on the first branch, each with buds and petals, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches that extend from the lampstand.

³⁴And on the lampstand there shall be four cups shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals.

³⁵For the six branches that extend from the lampstand, a bud must be under the first pair of branches, a bud under the second pair, and a bud under the third pair.

³⁶The buds and branches are to be all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.

³⁷Make seven lamps and set them up on the lampstand so that they illuminate the area in front of it.

³⁸The wick trimmers and their trays must be of pure gold.

³⁹The lampstand and all these utensils shall be made from a talent of pure gold.

⁴⁰See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

¹“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

²Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide — all curtains the same size.

³Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

⁴Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

⁵Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

⁶Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

⁷You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle — eleven curtains in all.

⁸Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size — thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

⁹Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

¹⁰Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

¹¹Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.

¹²As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

¹³And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.

¹⁴Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

¹⁵You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

¹⁶Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

¹⁷Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

¹⁸Construct twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,

¹⁹with forty silver bases under the twenty frames — two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

²⁰For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames

²¹and forty silver bases— two bases under each frame.

²²Make six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

²³and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,

²⁴coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. These will serve as the two corners.

²⁵So there are to be eight frames and sixteen silver bases— two under each frame.

²⁶You are also to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

²⁷five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

²⁸The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.

²⁹Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

³⁰So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.
