# Chapter 26
|
||
1 “Make the Tabernacle from ten curtains of finely woven linen. Decorate the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.
|
||
2 These ten curtains must all be exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.
|
||
3 Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, then join the other five into a second long curtain.
|
||
4 Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set.
|
||
5 The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.
|
||
6 Then make fifty gold clasps and fasten the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece.
|
||
7 “Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.
|
||
8 These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.
|
||
9 Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent.
|
||
10 Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain.
|
||
11 Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece.
|
||
12 The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle.
|
||
13 Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.
|
||
14 Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.
|
||
15 “For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.
|
||
16 Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,
|
||
17 with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical.
|
||
18 Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.
|
||
19 Also make forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.
|
||
20 For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,
|
||
21 with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.
|
||
22 Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—
|
||
23 along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.
|
||
24 These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way.
|
||
25 So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.
|
||
26 “Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle
|
||
27 and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.
|
||
28 The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.
|
||
29 Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well.
|
||
30 “Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.
|
||
31 “For the inside of the Tabernacle, make a special curtain of finely woven linen. Decorate it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.
|
||
32 Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases.
|
||
33 Hang the inner curtain from clasps, and put the Ark of the Covenant in the room behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
|
||
34 “Then put the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.
|
||
35 Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side.
|
||
36 “Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
|
||
37 Craft five posts from acacia wood. Overlay them with gold, and hang the curtain from them with gold hooks. Cast five bronze bases for the posts. |
