1 "The tabernacle itself you are to make from ten curtains of fine twisted linen with blue, purple and scarlet yarn; work cherubim into them, the work of a skilled craftsman.
2 Each curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains are to be the same size.
3 Join five of the curtains to each other, and join the other five to each other as well.
4 Make loops of blue yarn along the edge of the end curtain in the one set, and do the same along the edge of the end curtain in the second set.
5 Put fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the second set, with the loops facing each other.
6 Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle forms a single unit.
7 Make curtains of goats' hair as a tent to cover the tabernacle; make eleven of them.
8 Each curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; all eleven curtains are to be the same size.
9 Join five of the curtains into one set and six into another, and fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.
10 Put fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the one set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain in the other set.
11 Then make fifty bronze clasps, hook them into the loops and fasten the tent together so that it forms a single unit.
12 As for the extra length of the tent curtains, the half curtain left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle.
13 The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on each side; this extra length is to hang over the sides of the tabernacle, one side and the other, to cover it.
14 For the tent make a covering of rams' skins dyed red, and over that a covering of goatskins.
15 Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,
17 with two tenons on each frame, set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle this way.
18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle, the side facing the Negev,
19 and make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames, two bases under each frame, one for each of its two tenons.
20 For the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, make twenty frames
21 with their forty silver bases, two under each frame.
22 For the far end of the tabernacle, the west side, make six frames,
23 and make two frames for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end.
24 At these two corners the frames are to be double from the bottom and joined all the way to the top, at the first ring; both corners are to be made alike.
25 So there will be eight frames with their silver bases, sixteen bases in all, two under each frame.
26 Make bars of acacia wood as well: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
27 five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west side, at the far end of the tabernacle.
28 The center bar is to run through the middle of the frames from one end to the other.
29 Overlay the frames with gold, make gold rings on them to hold the bars, and overlay the bars with gold too.
30 Then set up the tabernacle in keeping with the design you were shown on the mountain.
31 Make a veil of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman.
32 Hang it on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold, which have gold hooks and stand on four silver bases.
33 Hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony behind the veil. The veil will divide the holy place from the most holy place for you.
34 Place the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
35 Set the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand across from it on the south side.
36 For the entrance to the tent make a screen of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer.
37 For the screen make five pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold, with gold hooks, and cast five bronze bases for them.
