Bible Text
[15] "You shall make the boards for the tent of acacia wood, standing up. [16] Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the breadth of each board. [17] There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus shall you make for all the boards of the tent. [18] You shall make the boards for the tent, twenty boards for the south side southward. [19] 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] For the second side of the tent, on the north side, twenty boards, [21] and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. [22] For the far part of the tent westward you shall make six boards. [23] Two boards shall you make for the corners of the tent in the far part. [24] They shall be double beneath, and in like manner they shall be entire to the top of it to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners. [25] There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. [26] "You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tent, [27] and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tent, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tent, for the far part westward. [28] The middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass through from end to end. [29] 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] You shall set up the tent according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain. [31] "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] You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver. [33] You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil: and the veil shall separate the holy place from the most holy for you. [34] You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. [35] You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand over against the table on the side of the tent toward the south: and you shall put the table on the north side. [36] "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] 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.
