Exodus 26:15–29

¹⁵Thou shalt make also the boards of the tabernacle standing upright of setim wood.

¹⁶Let every one of them be ten cubits in length, and in breadth one cubit and a half.

¹⁷In the sides of the boards shall be made two mortises, whereby one board may be joined to another board: and after this manner shall all the boards be prepared.

¹⁸Of which twenty shall be in the south side southward.

¹⁹For which thou shalt cast forty sockets of silver, that under every board may be put two sockets at the two corners.

²⁰In the second side also of the tabernacle that looketh to the north, there shall be twenty boards,

²¹Having forty sockets of silver, two sockets shall be put under each board.

²²But on the west side of the tabernacle thou shalt make six boards.

²³And again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.

²⁴And they shall be joined together from beneath unto the top, and one joint shall hold them all. The like joining shall be observed for the two boards also that are to be put in the corners.

²⁵And they shall be in all eight boards, and their silver sockets sixteen, reckoning two sockets for each board.

²⁶Thou shalt make also five bars of setim wood, to hold together the boards on one side of the tabernacle.

²⁷And five others on the other side, and as many at the west side:

²⁸And they shall be put along by the midst of the boards, from one end to the other.

²⁹The boards also themselves thou shalt overlay with gold, and shalt cast rings of gold to be set upon them, for places for the bars to hold together the boardwork: which bars thou shalt cover with plates of gold.
