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

¹⁶“Ten cubits shall be the length of ¹each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.

¹⁷“There shall be two tenons for each board, ¹fitted to one another; thus you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle.

¹⁸“You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards ¹for the south side.

¹⁹“You shall make forty ^1asockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons;

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

²¹and their forty ¹sockets of silver; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

²²“For the ¹rear of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards.

²³“You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the ¹rear.

²⁴“They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete ¹to its top ²to the first ring; thus it shall be with both of them: they shall form the two corners.

²⁵“There shall be eight boards with their ¹sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

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

²⁷and five bars for the boards of the ¹other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the ²rear side to the west.

²⁸“The middle bar in the ¹center of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

²⁹“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.
