Exodus Chapter 26 (NIV 11)

Compare with Version:

¹ “Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a skilled worker.

² All the curtains are to be the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.[70]

³ Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five.

⁴ Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set.

⁵ Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.

⁶ Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.

⁷ “Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether.

⁸ All eleven curtains are to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[71]

⁹ Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.

¹⁰ Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.

¹¹ Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit.

¹² As for the additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle.

¹³ The tent curtains will be a cubit[72] longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it.

¹⁴ Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.[73]

¹⁵ “Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

¹⁶ Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,[74]

¹⁷ with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

¹⁸ Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle

¹⁹ and make forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection.

²⁰ For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames

²¹ and forty silver bases—two under each frame.

²² Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,

²³ and make two frames for the corners at the far end.

²⁴ At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that.

²⁵ So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

²⁶ “Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

²⁷ five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.

²⁸ The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames.

²⁹ Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

³⁰ “Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain.

³¹ “Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.

³² Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

³³ Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

³⁴ Put the atonement cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Place.

³⁵ Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.

³⁶ “For the entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer.

³⁷ Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.
