26“And the tabernacle you will make with ten curtains; you will make them of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim, the work of a skilled craftsman. ²The length of the one curtain will be twenty-eight cubits, and the width will be four cubits for the one curtain; one measure will be for all the curtains. ³Five curtains will be joined to one another,^a and five curtains joined to one another.^b ⁴And you will make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; and you will do so on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. ⁵You will make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you will make fifty loops on the end of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops are to be opposite^c to one another.^d ⁶And you will make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains to one another^e with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be one.

⁷“And you will make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you will make them eleven curtains. ⁸The length of the one curtain will be thirty cubits, and the width will be four cubits for the one curtain; one measure will be for the eleven curtains. ⁹And you will join five curtains together and six curtains together, and you will fold double the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. ¹⁰And you will make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain at the end of the first set and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set. ¹¹And you will make fifty bronze clasps, and you will put the clasps in the loops and join the tent, so that it will be one.

¹²“And the surplus in the curtains of the tent will be an overhang; the surplus half curtain will hang over the back of the tabernacle. ¹³And a cubit from one side^f and a cubit from the other side^g in the surplus in the length of the curtains of the tent will be hung over the sides of the tabernacle equally^h to cover it.

¹⁴“And you will make a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skins and a covering of fine leather to go above.

¹⁵“And you will make the framesⁱ for the tabernacle of acacia wood as uprights.^j ¹⁶The length of the frame^k will be ten cubits, and the width of the one frame^l will be one and a half cubits. ¹⁷You will make two pegs^m for the one frameⁿ for joining each to another^o and likewise for all the frames^p of the tabernacle. ¹⁸And you will make the frames^q for the tabernacle with twenty frames^r for the south^s side. ¹⁹And you will make forty silver bases under the twenty frames,^t with two bases under the one frame^u for its two pegs^v and two bases under the next^w frame^x for its two pegs.^y ²⁰And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, there will be twenty frames^z ²¹and their forty silver bases, with two bases under the one frame^a and two bases under the next^b frame.^c

²²“And for the rear of the tabernacle on the west^d you will make six frames.^e ²³And you will make two frames^f for the tabernacle corners at the rear. ²⁴They will be double at the bottom, and they will be completely together on its top to the one ring; it will be likewise for the two of them; they will be for the two corners. ²⁵And there will be eight frames^g and their silver bases, sixteen bases, with two bases under the one frame^h and two bases under the nextⁱ frame.^j

²⁶“You will make five bars of acacia wood for the frames^k on the one side of the tabernacle, ²⁷and five bars for the frames^l on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames^m on the side of the tabernacle at the rear on the west.ⁿ ²⁸And the bar in the middle, in the midst of the frames^o will run from end to end. ²⁹And you will overlay the frames^p with gold, and you will make their rings of gold as holders^q for the bars, and you will overlay the bars with gold. ³⁰And you will erect the tabernacle according to its plan, which you have been shown on the mountain.
