19

And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that.

20

And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.

21

The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

22

Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.

23

They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:

24

And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues.

25

And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,

26

With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board.

27

And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,

28

And two boards for the angles at the back.

29

These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles.

30

So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.

31

And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,

32

And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west.

33

The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other.

34

All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

35

And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.

36

And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.

37

And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;

38

And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.

    “And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above that. And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up. The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half. One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward: And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons. And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards, And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners. And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets. And he made bars of shittim 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 sides westward. And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other. And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work. And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework; And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass. ”

Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board. Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward; and he made 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. And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part. And they were double beneath; and in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof unto one ring: thus he did to both of them in the two corners. And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets. And 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. And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other. And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, made he it. And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer; and the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass. ”
