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。 每幅幔子的尺寸都一樣,長十二米、寬兩米。 每五幅連在一起,形成兩幅大幔子。 要在每幅大幔子邊緣釘上藍色的扣環, 每幅大幔子釘五十個,扣環要兩兩相對, 再做五十個金鉤,把兩幅大幔子連在一起,成為聖幕。

「要用山羊毛織十一幅幔子作聖幕的罩棚, 每幅長十三米、寬兩米。十一幅幔子的尺寸都要一樣。 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。

The Holy Tent

26 “Make for the Holy Tent ten curtains of fine linen and blue, purple, and red thread. Have a skilled craftsman sew designs of creatures with wings on the pieces of cloth. Make each curtain the same size—forty-two feet long and six feet wide. Sew five curtains together for one set, and sew the other curtains together for the second set. Make loops of blue cloth on the edge of the end curtain of one set, and do the same for the end curtain of the other set. Make fifty loops on the end curtain of the first set and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set. These loops must be opposite each other. And make fifty gold hooks to join the two sets of curtains so that the Holy Tent is one piece.

“Then make another tent that will cover the Holy Tent, using eleven curtains made from goat hair. All these curtains must be the same size—forty-five feet long and six feet wide. Sew five of the curtains together into one set. Then sew the other six curtains together into the second set. Fold the sixth curtain double over the front of the Tent. 10 Make fifty loops down the edge of the end curtain of one set, and do the same for the end curtain of the other set. 11 Then make fifty bronze hooks and put them in the loops to join the tent together so that the covering is one piece. 12 Let the extra half piece of cloth hang over the back of the Holy Tent. 13 There will be eighteen inches hanging over the sides of the Holy Tent, to protect it. 14 Make a covering for the Holy Tent from sheepskins colored red, and over that make a covering from fine leather.

15 “Use acacia wood to make upright frames for the Holy Tent. 16 Each frame must be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide, 17 with two pegs side by side. Every frame must be made the same way. 18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the Holy Tent. 19 Each frame must have two silver bases to go under it, a peg fitting into each base. You must make forty silver bases for the frames. 20 Make twenty more frames for the north side of the Holy Tent 21 and forty silver bases for them—two bases for each frame. 22 You must make six frames for the rear or west end of the Holy Tent 23 and two frames for each corner at the rear. 24 The two frames are to be doubled at the bottom and joined at the top with a metal ring. Both corner frames must be made this way. 25 So there will be a total of eight frames at the rear of the Tent, and there will be sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.

26 “Make crossbars of acacia wood to connect the upright frames of the Holy Tent. Make five crossbars to hold the frames together on one side 27 and five to hold the frames together on the other side. Also make five crossbars to hold the frames together on the west end, at the rear. 28 The middle crossbar is to be set halfway up the frames, and it is to run along the entire length of each side and rear. 29 Make gold rings on the sides of the frames to hold the crossbars, and cover the frames and the crossbars with gold. 30 Set up the Holy Tent by the plan shown to you on the mountain.

31 “Make a curtain of fine linen and blue, purple, and red thread, and have a skilled craftsman sew designs of creatures with wings on it. 32 Hang the curtain by gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood that are covered with gold, and set them in four silver bases. 33 Hang the curtain from the hooks in the roof, and put the Ark of the Agreement containing the two stone tablets behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. 34 Put the lid on the Ark of the Agreement in the Most Holy Place.

35 “Outside the curtain, put the table on the north side of the Holy Tent. Put the lampstand on the south side of the Holy Tent across from the table.

The Entrance of the Holy Tent

36 “Then, for the entrance of the Tent, make a curtain with fine linen and blue, purple, and red thread. Someone who can sew well is to sew designs on it. 37 Make five posts of acacia wood covered with gold. Make gold hooks for them on which to hang the curtain, and make five bronze bases for them.
