According to all that I am going to show you as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, so you shall construct it.

Curtains of Linen
“Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and violet, purple, and scarlet material; you shall make them with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer.
-
You shall also make fifty clasps of gold, and join the curtains to one another with the clasps so that the tabernacle will be a unit.
-
Curtains of Goats’ Hair
“Then you shall make curtains of goats’ hair as a tent over the tabernacle; you shall make eleven curtains in all.
-
The overhanging part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
-
The cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it.

Boards and Bases
“Then you shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.
-
There shall be two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; that is what you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle.
-
You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side.
-
and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,
-
For the back of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards.
-
You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back.
-
“Then you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,
-
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the back side to the west.
-
Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to its plan which you have been shown on the mountain.
-
And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.
-
Courtyard of the Tabernacle
“Now you shall make the courtyard of the tabernacle. On the south side there shall be hangings for the courtyard of fine twisted linen, a hundred cubits long for one side;
-
All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard, shall be of bronze.

Tabernacle Artisans
‘Have every skillful person among you come and make all that the Lord has commanded:
-
the tabernacle, its tent and its covering, its hooks and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;
-
and the altar of incense and its poles, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the doorway at the entrance of the tabernacle;
-
the pegs of the tabernacle and the pegs of the courtyard and their ropes;
-
The Tabernacle Underwritten
“Now Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skillful person in whom the Lord has put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with everything that the Lord has commanded.”
-
Construction Begins
All the skillful people among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and violet, purple, and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer, Bezalel made them.
-
He also made fifty clasps of gold, and joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.
