出埃及記 26
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
聖幕的做法
26 「要用十幅幔子造聖幕，這些幔子要用細麻線和藍、紫、朱紅三種顏色的毛線織成，還要用精緻的手工繡上基路伯天使。 2 每幅幔子的尺寸都一樣，長十二米、寬兩米。 3 每五幅連在一起，形成兩幅大幔子。 4 要在每幅大幔子邊緣釘上藍色的扣環， 5 每幅大幔子釘五十個，扣環要兩兩相對， 6 再做五十個金鉤，把兩幅大幔子連在一起，成為聖幕。
7 「要用山羊毛織十一幅幔子作聖幕的罩棚， 8 每幅長十三米、寬兩米。十一幅幔子的尺寸都要一樣。 9 然後，你們要把五幅連成一大幅，其餘六幅連成一大幅，第六幅要在聖幕前疊起來。 10 要在這兩幅幔子的邊緣各釘上五十個扣環， 11 再做五十個銅鉤，把這兩幅大幔子扣在一起，成為一個完整的罩棚。 12 鋪罩棚所剩下來的半幅幔子要垂到聖幕後面。 13 兩旁餘下的幔子可垂在聖幕的兩邊，每邊長五十釐米，蓋著聖幕。 14 罩棚上面要蓋一層染成紅色的公羊皮，再蓋一層海狗皮做頂蓋。
15 「要用皂莢木做支撐聖幕的木板， 16 每塊木板長四米，寬六十六釐米。 17 每塊木板要有兩個接榫，好連接在一起。聖幕的所有木板都要這樣。 18 聖幕的南面要有二十塊木板， 19 在這些木板下面要造四十個帶凹槽的銀底座，每塊木板下面兩個，用來套在木板的兩個接榫上。 20 聖幕北面也要有二十塊木板， 21 這些木板下面也要裝上四十個帶凹槽的銀底座，每塊木板下面有兩個銀底座。 22 聖幕後面，就是西面，要有六塊木板。 23 聖幕後面的兩個拐角要各有兩塊木板， 24 木板的下端連於底座[a]，頂端用一個環固定。兩個拐角都要這樣做。 25 這樣，兩端便共有八塊木板，每塊木板下面各有兩個帶凹槽的銀底座，一共有十六個銀底座。
26-27 「要用皂莢木做橫閂，聖幕左右兩邊及後面的牆板上要各有五根橫閂， 28 攔腰固定牆板的那根橫閂要從這端貫穿到那端。 29 所有的木板和橫閂都要包上金，並要在木板上造金環，用來穿橫閂。 30 要照著我在山上所指示你的樣式，把聖幕支搭起來。
造至聖所的條例
31 「要用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線織成一幅幔子，上面用精緻的手工繡上基路伯天使。 32 要把這幅幔子掛在四根包金的皂莢木柱上，木柱上面有金鉤，木柱立在四個帶凹槽的銀底座上面。 33 要把整幅幔子掛在木柱的金鉤上，把約櫃抬進幔子裡。這幔子把聖幕分為兩個部分，幔子裡面是至聖所，外面是聖所。 34 要把施恩座放在至聖所裡面的約櫃上。 35 桌子要放在幔子的外面、聖所的北面，燈臺放在南面，跟桌子相對。 36 要用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線繡製聖幕的門簾。 37 要用皂莢木做五根掛門簾的柱子，柱子包上金，上面要有金鉤，並要為柱子造五個帶凹槽的銅底座。

Chapter 26
The Tent Cloth. 1 The tabernacle itself you shall make out of ten sheets[a] woven of fine linen twined and of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim embroidered on them.(A) 2 The length of each shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width four cubits; all the sheets shall be of the same size. 3 Five of the sheets are to be joined one to another; and the same for the other five. 4 Make loops of violet yarn along the edge of the end sheet in one set, and the same along the edge of the end sheet in the other set. 5 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end sheet in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding sheet in the second set, and so placed that the loops are directly opposite each other. 6 Then make fifty clasps of gold and join the two sets of sheets, so that the tabernacle forms one whole.
7 Also make sheets woven of goat hair for a tent[b] over the tabernacle. Make eleven such sheets; 8 the length of each shall be thirty cubits, and the width four cubits: all eleven sheets shall be of the same size. 9 Join five of the sheets into one set, and the other six sheets into another set. Use the sixth sheet double at the front of the tent.[c] 10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end sheet in one set, and fifty loops along the edge of the end sheet in the second set. 11 Also make fifty bronze clasps and put them into the loops, to join the tent into one whole. 12 There will be an extra half sheet of tent covering, which shall be allowed to hang down over the rear of the tabernacle. 13 Likewise, the sheets of the tent will have an extra cubit’s length to be left hanging down on either side of the tabernacle to cover it. 14 Over the tent itself make a covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and above that, a covering of tahash skins.
The Framework. 15 (B)You shall make frames for the tabernacle, acacia-wood uprights. 16 The length of each frame is to be ten cubits, and its width one and a half cubits. 17 Each frame shall have two arms[d] joined one to another; so you are to make all the frames of the tabernacle. 18 Make the frames of the tabernacle as follows: twenty frames on the south side, 19 with forty silver pedestals under the twenty frames, two pedestals under each frame for its two arms; 20 twenty frames on the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, 21 with their forty silver pedestals, two pedestals under each frame. 22 At the rear of the tabernacle, to the west, six frames, 23 and two frames for the corners of the tabernacle, at its rear. 24 These two shall be double at the bottom, and likewise double at the top, to the first ring. That is how both corner frames are to be made. 25 Thus, there shall be eight frames, with their sixteen silver pedestals, two pedestals under each frame. 26 Also make bars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 27 five for those on the other side, and five for those at the rear, to the west. 28 The center bar, at the middle of the frames, shall reach across from end to end. 29 Plate the frames with gold, and make gold rings on them as holders for the bars, which are also to be plated with gold. 30 You shall set up the tabernacle according to its plan, which you were shown on the mountain.
The Veils. 31 You shall make a veil woven of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn,(C) and of fine linen twined, with cherubim embroidered on it.(D) 32 It is to be hung on four gold-plated columns of acacia wood, which shall have gold hooks[e] and shall rest on four silver pedestals. 33 Hang the veil from clasps. The ark of the covenant you shall bring inside, behind this veil which divides the holy place from the holy of holies. 34 Set the cover on the ark of the covenant in the holy of holies.
35 Outside the veil you shall place the table and the menorah, the latter on the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table, which is to be put on the north side. 36 For the entrance of the tent make a variegated[f] curtain of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined. 37 Make five columns of acacia wood for this curtain; plate them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and cast five bronze pedestals for them.

Exodus 26
New King James Version
The Tabernacle(A)
26 “Moreover (B)you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim you shall weave them. 2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. And every one of the curtains shall have [a]the same measurements. 3 Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another. 4 And you shall make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set, and likewise you shall do on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set. 5 Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is on the end of the second set, that the loops may be clasped to one another. 6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, so that it may be one tabernacle.
7 (C)“You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair, to be a tent over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains. 8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measurements. 9 And you shall couple five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent. 10 You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set. 11 And you shall make fifty bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one. 12 The remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13 And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of 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.
14 (D)“You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.
15 “And for the tabernacle you shall (E)make the boards of acacia wood, standing upright. 16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the width of each board. 17 Two [b]tenons shall be in each board for binding one to another. Thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18 And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side. 19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons. 20 And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, there shall be twenty boards 21 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under each of the boards. 22 For the far side of the tabernacle, westward, you shall make six boards. 23 And you shall also make two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle. 24 They shall be [c]coupled together at the bottom and they shall be coupled together at the top by one ring. Thus it shall be for both of them. They shall be for the two corners. 25 So there shall be eight boards with their sockets of silver—sixteen sockets—two sockets under each of the boards.
26 “And you shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle, 27 five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far side westward. 28 The (F)middle bar shall pass through the midst of the boards from end to end. 29 You shall overlay the boards with gold, make their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlay the bars with gold. 30 And you shall raise up the tabernacle (G)according to its pattern which you were shown on the mountain.
31 (H)“You shall make a veil woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen. It shall be woven with an artistic design of cherubim. 32 You shall hang it upon the four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold. Their hooks shall be gold, upon four sockets of silver. 33 And you shall hang the veil from the clasps. Then you shall bring (I)the ark of the Testimony in there, behind the veil. The veil shall be a divider for you between (J)the holy place and the Most Holy. 34 (K)You shall put the mercy seat upon the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy. 35 (L)You shall set the table outside the veil, and (M)the lampstand across from the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.
36 (N)“You shall make a screen for the door of the tabernacle, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver. 37 And you shall make for the screen (O)five pillars of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be gold, and you shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
