All the wise- hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet.

All the curtains had one measure.He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling.He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite to one another.He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width of each curtain.

He did this to both of them in the two corners.There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets— under every board two sockets.He made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other.He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits, and its width a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height.He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around it.He cast four rings of gold for it, in its four feet— two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width.He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat:one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
