          DASV: Exodus 26    

1 "Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twined linen,
and blue, purple and scarlet thread with cherubim embroidered
by a skilful artist.
2 Each curtain shall be 42 feet long and 6 feet wide.
All the curtains shall have exactly the same measurement.
3 Five curtains shall be joined together and a second set
of five curtains also joined one to another.
4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain set.
Likewise you shall make loops in the edge of the curtain on
the last curtain of the second set.
5 Make the fifty loops in the one curtain and make fifty loops
in the edge of the curtain that is in the second set.
The loops shall match up opposite each other.
6 You shall make fifty gold clasps and join the long curtains
sets to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle
is one whole unit.

7 You shall make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the
tabernacle. Make eleven curtains.
8 Each curtain shall be 45 feet long and 6 feet wide.
All eleven curtains shall have exactly the same measurements.
9 You shall join five curtains by themselves, and six curtains
by themselves, then double back the sixth curtain at the front
of the tent.
10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the
set and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that joins the second set.
11 Make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops to join
the tent together, so that it may be one whole unit.
12 Now the part that is left over of the tent curtains, the half curtain
that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
13 Let the 18 inches on the one side, and the 18 inches on the other side
left over on the length of the curtains of the tent hang over the sides
of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and an
outer covering of fine leather.
15 You shall make the frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing
upright.
16 Each board will be fifteen feet long, and 27 inches wide.
17 Two pegs shall be in each board to fasten one to another.
Make all the boards of the tabernacle this way.

18 You shall make the frames for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the
south side.
19 Make forty bases of silver to fit under the twenty boards; two bases
per board for its two pegs, and two bases under the next board
for its two pegs.
20 Make for the second side of the tabernacle, twenty boards on
the north side,
21 and their forty bases of silver, two bases for the first board,
and two bases under the next board.
22 Make six boards for the rear of the tabernacle on the west.
23 Make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the rear part.
24 They shall be double at the bottom but joined together at the top
with one ring. Make both of them the same. They shall form the back
two corners.
25 So there shall be eight boards, and their sixteen bases of silver;
two bases under the first board, and two bases under the next board.

26 Make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the framing boards for the
one side of the tabernacle,
27 and five crossbars for the framing boards for the other side of the
tabernacle, and five crossbars for the framing boards for the back side
of the tabernacle on the west.
28 The middle bar in the middle of the framing boards shall pass from
end to end.
29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold
to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold.

30 Then you shall set up the tabernacle according to the pattern you
were shown on the mountain.
31 You shall make a special curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarns
and fine twined linen. Embroider it with cherubim made by a skilful artist.
32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold
having hooks of gold and four silver bases.
33 Hang up this curtain under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony
in behind this curtain. This special curtain shall separate for you
between the holy place and the most holy place.
34 You shall put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony in the
most holy place.
35 Set the table outside the curtain and the lampstand on the south side
across from the table. Put the table on the north side.
36 You shall make a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue,
purple and scarlet yarn and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.
37 You shall make for the curtain five pillars of acacia wood and overlay
them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold and you shall cast five
bronze bases for them."
