圣幕的做法

26 “要用十幅幔子造圣幕,这些幔子要用细麻线和蓝、紫、朱红三种颜色的毛线织成,还要用精致的手工绣上基路伯天使。 每幅幔子的尺寸都一样,长十二米、宽两米。 每五幅连在一起,形成两幅大幔子。 要在每幅大幔子边缘钉上蓝色的扣环, 每幅大幔子钉五十个,扣环要两两相对, 再做五十个金钩,把两幅大幔子连在一起,成为圣幕。

“要用山羊毛织十一幅幔子作圣幕的罩棚, 每幅长十三米、宽两米。十一幅幔子的尺寸都要一样。 然后,你们要把五幅连成一大幅,其余六幅连成一大幅,第六幅要在圣幕前叠起来。 10 要在这两幅幔子的边缘各钉上五十个扣环, 11 再做五十个铜钩,把这两幅大幔子扣在一起,成为一个完整的罩棚。 12 铺罩棚所剩下来的半幅幔子要垂到圣幕后面。 13 两旁余下的幔子可垂在圣幕的两边,每边长五十厘米,盖着圣幕。 14 罩棚上面要盖一层染成红色的公羊皮,再盖一层海狗皮做顶盖。

15 “要用皂荚木做支撑圣幕的木板, 16 每块木板长四米,宽六十六厘米。 17 每块木板要有两个接榫,好连接在一起。圣幕的所有木板都要这样。 18 圣幕的南面要有二十块木板, 19 在这些木板下面要造四十个带凹槽的银底座,每块木板下面两个,用来套在木板的两个接榫上。 20 圣幕北面也要有二十块木板, 21 这些木板下面也要装上四十个带凹槽的银底座,每块木板下面有两个银底座。 22 圣幕后面,就是西面,要有六块木板。 23 圣幕后面的两个拐角要各有两块木板, 24 木板的下端连于底座[a],顶端用一个环固定。两个拐角都要这样做。 25 这样,两端便共有八块木板,每块木板下面各有两个带凹槽的银底座,一共有十六个银底座。

26-27 “要用皂荚木做横闩,圣幕左右两边及后面的墙板上要各有五根横闩, 28 拦腰固定墙板的那根横闩要从这端贯穿到那端。 29 所有的木板和横闩都要包上金,并要在木板上造金环,用来穿横闩。 30 要照着我在山上所指示你的样式,把圣幕支搭起来。

造至圣所的条例

31 “要用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线织成一幅幔子,上面用精致的手工绣上基路伯天使。 32 要把这幅幔子挂在四根包金的皂荚木柱上,木柱上面有金钩,木柱立在四个带凹槽的银底座上面。 33 要把整幅幔子挂在木柱的金钩上,把约柜抬进幔子里。这幔子把圣幕分为两个部分,幔子里面是至圣所,外面是圣所。 34 要把施恩座放在至圣所里面的约柜上。 35 桌子要放在幔子的外面、圣所的北面,灯台放在南面,跟桌子相对。 36 要用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线绣制圣幕的门帘。 37 要用皂荚木做五根挂门帘的柱子,柱子包上金,上面要有金钩,并要为柱子造五个带凹槽的铜底座。

  1. 26:24 连于底座”或译“是双层的”。

26 Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet [stuff], with cherubim skillfully embroidered shall you make them.

The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; each of the curtains shall measure the same.

The five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.

And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and likewise in the second set.

Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain that is in the second coupling or set, so that the loops on one correspond to the loops on the other.

And you shall make fifty clasps of gold and fasten the curtains together with the clasps; then the tabernacle shall be one whole.

And make curtains of goats’ hair to be a [second] covering over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.

One curtain shall be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; and the eleven curtains shall all measure the same.

You shall join together five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the front of the tabernacle [to make a closed door].

10 And make fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain in the one set and fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain in the second set.

11 You shall make fifty clasps of bronze and put the clasps into the loops and couple the tent together, that it may be one whole.

12 The surplus that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13 And the cubit on the one side and the cubit on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.

14 You shall make a [third] covering for the tent of rams’ skins tanned red, and a [fourth] covering above that of dolphin or porpoise skins.

15 And you shall make the upright frame for the tabernacle of boards of acacia wood.

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.

17 Make two tenons in each board for dovetailing and fitting together; so shall you do for all the tabernacle boards.

18 And make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side;

19 And you shall make forty silver sockets under the twenty boards, two sockets under each board for its two tenons.

20 And for the north side of the tabernacle there shall be twenty boards

21 And their forty silver sockets, two sockets under each board.

22 For the back or west side of the tabernacle you shall make six boards.

23 Make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the rear on both sides.

24 They shall be coupled down below and coupled together on top with one ring. Thus shall it be for both of them; they shall form the two corners.

25 And that will be eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each board.

26 And you shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of one side,

27 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the rear end of the tabernacle, for the back wall to the west.

28 And the middle bar halfway up the boards shall pass through from end to end.

29 You shall overlay the boards with gold and make their rings of gold to hold the bars and overlay the bars with gold.

30 You shall erect the tabernacle after the plan of it shown you on the mountain.

31 And make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen, skillfully worked with cherubim on it.

32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold, with gold hooks, on four sockets of silver.

33 And you shall hang the veil from the clasps and bring the ark of the Testimony into place within the veil; and the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34 And you shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

35 And you shall set the table [for the showbread] outside the veil [in the Holy Place] on the north side and the lampstand opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle.

36 You shall make a hanging [to form a screen] for the door of the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen, embroidered.(A)

37 You shall make five pillars of acacia wood to support the hanging curtain and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five [base] sockets of bronze for them.

The Tabernacle(A)

26 “Make the tabernacle(B) with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim(C) woven into them by a skilled worker. All the curtains are to be the same size(D)—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five. Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set. Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. Then make fifty gold clasps and use them to fasten the curtains together so that the tabernacle is a unit.(E)

“Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. All eleven curtains are to be the same size(F)—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[b] Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent. 10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 11 Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit.(G) 12 As for the additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle. 13 The tent curtains will be a cubit[c] longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it. 14 Make for the tent a covering(H) of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.[d](I)

15 “Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,[e] 17 with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 19 and make forty silver bases(J) to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 20 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames 21 and forty silver bases(K)—two under each frame. 22 Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 23 and make two frames for the corners at the far end. 24 At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that. 25 So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

26 “Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 27 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 28 The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames. 29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

30 “Set up the tabernacle(L) according to the plan(M) shown you on the mountain.

31 “Make a curtain(N) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim(O) woven into it by a skilled worker. 32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.(P) 33 Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain.(Q) The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.(R) 34 Put the atonement cover(S) on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Place. 35 Place the table(T) outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand(U) opposite it on the south side.

36 “For the entrance to the tent make a curtain(V) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer.(W) 37 Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.

12 And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle.

13 And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.

20 And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards:

21 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

23 And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

25 And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26 And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

28 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end.

29 And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold.

30 And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.

31 And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:

33 And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.

34 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
