Exodus 26:1-37 NASB20 - Bible AI

¹“Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and [560]violet, purple, and scarlet material; you shall make them with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer.

²The length of each curtain shall be [561]twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have [562]the same measurements.

³Five curtains shall be [563]joined to one another, and the other five curtains shall be [564]joined to one another.

⁴You shall make loops of violet on the edge of the [565]outermost curtain in the first set, and likewise you shall make them on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second [566]set.

⁵You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the [567]edge of the curtain that is in the second [568]set; the loops shall be opposite each other.

⁶You shall also make fifty clasps of gold, and [569]join the curtains to one another with the clasps so that the [570]tabernacle will be a unit.

Curtains of Goats’ Hair

⁷“Then you shall make curtains of goats’ hair as a tent over the tabernacle; you shall make eleven curtains in all.

⁸The length of each curtain shall be [571]thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have [572]the same measurements.

⁹You shall [573]join five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain [574]at the front of the tent.

¹⁰You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the [575]curtain that is outermost in the first [576]set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second [577]set.

¹¹“You shall also make fifty clasps of [578]bronze, and you shall put the clasps into the loops and [579]join the tent together so that it will be [580]a unit.

¹²The [581]overhanging part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

¹³The [582]cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it.

¹⁴And you shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins [583]dyed red and a covering of [584]fine leather above.

Boards and Bases

¹⁵“Then you shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.

¹⁶[585]Ten cubits shall be the length of [586]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.

¹⁷There shall be two tenons for each board, [587]fitted to one another; that is what you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle.

¹⁸You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [588]for the south side.

¹⁹You shall make forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board for its two tenons and two bases under another board for its two tenons;

²⁰and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,

²¹and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board and two bases under another board.

²²For the [589]back of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards.

²³You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the [590]back.

²⁴They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete [591]to its top [592]to the first ring; this is how it shall be with both of them: they shall form the two corners.

²⁵And there shall be eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board and two bases under another board.

²⁶“Then you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

²⁷and five bars for the boards of the [593]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the [594]back side to the west.

²⁸The middle bar in the [595]center of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

²⁹And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

³⁰Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to its plan which you have been shown on the mountain.

The Veil and Curtain

³¹“You shall also make a veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer.

³²Then you shall [596]hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks also of gold, on four bases of silver.

³³You shall [597]hang up the veil under the clasps, and bring in the ark of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall [598]serve as a partition for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place.

³⁴You shall put the [599]atoning cover on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place.

³⁵And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.

³⁶“You shall also make a curtain for the doorway of the tent of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a [600]weaver.

³⁷And you shall make five pillars of acacia for the curtain and overlay them with gold, their hooks also of gold; and you shall cast five bases of [601]bronze for them.
