Lamsa Bible Par ▾ 
1MOREOVER you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet material; with cherubim, the workmanship of a craftsman shall you make them. 2The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall be of the same measure. 3Five curtains shall be coupled one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. 4And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shall you make loops on the edge of the other curtain from the selvedge in the coupling of the second. 5Fifty loops shall you make on the edge of one curtain, and fifty loops shall you make on the edge of the other curtain that is in the coupling of the second; and the loops shall be directly opposite one another. 6And you shall make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches; and it shall be one tabernacle.

7And you shall make curtains of goats' hair for a covering of the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make. 8The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the eleven curtains shall be of the same measure. 9And you shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle. 10And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which couples the second.

11And you shall make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together that it may be one. 12And what is left over of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13And a cubit on the one side and a cubit on the other side of that which is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side to cover it. 14And you shall make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and a covering of rams' skins dyed with vermilion.

15You shall make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up. 16Ten cubits shall be the length of each board; and a cubit and a half, the breadth of each board. 17There shall be two tenons to each board, set in order, one opposite the other; thus shall you make all the boards of the tabernacle. 18And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side. 19And 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. 20And for the other side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards, 21And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board. 22And for the sides of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards. 23And two boards shall you make for the corners of the tabernacle on the two sides. 24And they shall be even at the bottom, and shall be coupled together above the head of it to one ring; thus it shall be for both sockets; they shall be for the two corners. 25And there shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

26And you shall make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 27And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards at the westward side of the tabernacle. 28And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end. 29And 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. 30And you shall erect the tabernacle according to the right pattern thereof which I have shown you on the mountain.

31land you shall make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twined linen, the work of a craftsman; with cherubim shall it be made; 32And you shall hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold; with their hooks of gold, upon the four sockets of silver. 33land you shall hang up the veil under the taches, and then bring in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony; and you shall spread the veil between the holy place and the most holy. 34And you shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. 35And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the candlestick opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.

36And you shall make a curtain for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet material and fine twined linen made of embroidered work. 37And you shall make for the curtain five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold; and you shall make five sockets of brass for them.
