6
And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with
the clasps: and the tabernacle shall be one [whole].
7
And you shall make curtains of goats` [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven
curtains shall you make them.

16
Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each
board.
17
Two tenons shall there be in each board, joined one to another: thus shall you make
for all the boards of the tabernacle.
18
And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side
southward.
19
And you shall make forty sockets 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.
20

21
and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under
another board.
22
And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.
23
And two boards shall you make for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part.
24
And they shall be double beneath, and in like manner they shall be entire to the top
thereof to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.
25
And there shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two
sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
26
And you shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the
tabernacle,
27
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for
the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the hinder part westward.
28
And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end.
29
And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places
for the bars: and you shall overlay the bars with gold.
30
And you shall rear up the tabernacle according to its fashion which has been
showed you in the mount.
31
And you shall make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen:
with cherubim the work of the skillful workman shall it be made.
32
And you shall hang it upon four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks
[shall be] of gold, upon four sockets of silver.
33
And you shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring in there within the
veil the ark of the testimony: and the veil shall separate to you between the holy
place and the most holy.
34
And you shall put the mercy-seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
35
And you shall set the table without the veil, and the candlestick over against the
table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you shall put the table
on the north side.
36
And you shall make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.
37
And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold:
their hooks shall be of gold: and you shall cast five sockets of brass for them.
