Exodus 36:8-38

Legacy Standard Bible

^8 (A)And all those ^[a]wise at heart among those who were doing the work made the ^[b]tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and ^[c]blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer, ^[d]Bezalel made them. ⁹ The length of each curtain was ^[e]twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four ^[f]cubits; all the curtains had ^[g]the same measurements. ¹⁰ He ^[h]joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he ^[i]joined to one another. ¹¹ He made loops of ^[j]blue on the edge of the ^[k]outermost curtain in the first ^[l]set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was ^[m]outermost in the second ^[n]set. ¹² He made ^(B)fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the ^[o]edge of the curtain that was in the second ^[p]set; the loops were opposite each other. ¹³ He made ^(C)fifty clasps of gold and ^[q]joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was one unit.

¹⁴ Then ^(D)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains ^[r]in all. ¹⁵ The length of each curtain was ^[s]thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had ^[t]the same measurements. ¹⁶ He ^[u]joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves. ¹⁷ Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first ^[v]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second ^[w]set. ¹⁸ He made fifty clasps of ^[x]bronze to ^[y]join the tent together so that it would be ^[z]a unit. ¹⁹ He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins ^[aa]dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.

^20 (E)Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. ²¹ Ten cubits was the length of ^[ab]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. ²² There were two tenons for each board, ^[ac]fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle. ²³ And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards ^[ad]for the south side; ²⁴ and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons and two bases under another board for its two tenons. ²⁵ Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, ²⁶ and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board and two bases under another board. ²⁷ For the ^[ae]rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. ²⁸ And he made two boards for the corners of the ^[af]tabernacle at the ^[ag]rear. ²⁹ And they were ^[ah]separated beneath, but were together at their completion at the ^[ai]top, ^[aj]at the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners. ³⁰ And there were eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases, two bases under every board.

³¹ Then he made ^(F)bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, ³² and five bars for the boards of the ^[ak]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the ^[al]rear side to the west. ³³ And he made the middle bar to pass through in the ^[am]center of the boards from end to end. ³⁴ He also overlaid the boards with gold and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars and overlaid the bars with gold.

^35 (G)Moreover, he made the veil of ^[an]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer. ³⁶ And he made four pillars of acacia for it and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four bases of silver for them. ³⁷ And he made a ^(H)screen for the doorway of the tent, of ^[ao]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a ^[ap]weaver; ³⁸ and he made its ^(I)five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their ^[aq]bands with gold; but their five bases were of ^[ar]bronze.
