Offerings for the Tabernacle
The Lord said to Moses,
-
According to all that I show you concerning the pattern of the tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.
-
The Tabernacle
“Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet stuff; with cherubim skilfully worked shall you make them.
-
And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one whole.
-
“You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.
-
And the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
-
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.
-
The Framework
“And you shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.
-
There shall be two tenons in each frame, for fitting together; so shall you do for all the frames of the tabernacle.
-
You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side;
-
and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty frames,
-
and for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six frames.
-
And you shall make two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear;
-
“And you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,
-
and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward.
-
And you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it which has been shown you on the mountain.
-
And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table; and you shall put the table on the north side.
-
The Court and Its Hangings
“You shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have hangings of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side;
-
All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, and all its pegs and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.
-
Preparations for Making the Tabernacle
Moses said to all the congregation of the people of Israel, “This is the thing which the Lord has commanded.
-
“And let every able man among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded: the tabernacle,
-
and the altar of incense, with its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the screen for the door, at the door of the tabernacle;
-
the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the court, and their cords;
-
Offerings for the Tabernacle
Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
-
Construction of the Tabernacle
And all the able men among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains; they were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet stuff, with cherubim skilfully worked.
