1And they made ten curtains for the tabernacle;
1And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
2of eight and twenty cubits the length of one curtain: the same [measure] was to all, and the breadth of one curtain was of four cubits.
2And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3And they made the veil of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, the woven work with cherubs.
3And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
4And they put it on four posts of incorruptible [wood] overlaid with gold; and their capitals were gold, and their four sockets were silver.
4And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5And they made the veil of the door of the tabernacle of witness of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, woven work with cherubs,
5And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6and their posts five, and the rings; and they gilded their capitals and their clasps with gold, and they had five sockets of brass.
6And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
7And they made the court toward the south; the curtains of the court of fine linen twined, one hundred [cubits] every way,
7And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
8and their posts twenty, and their sockets twenty;
8One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
9and on the north side one hundred every way, and on the south side one hundred every way, and their posts twenty and their sockets twenty.
9And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
10And on the west side curtains of fifty cubits , their posts ten and their sockets ten.
10And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:
11And on the east side curtains of fifty cubits of fifteen cubits behind,
11And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12and their pillars three, and their sockets three.
12Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
13And at the second back on this side and on that by the gate of the court, curtains of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three;
13And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
14all the curtains of the tabernacle of fine linen twined.
14Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15And the sockets of their pillars of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their capitals overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the court overlaid with silver:
15And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16and the veil of the gate of the court, the work of an embroiderer of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined; the length of twenty cubits, and the height and the breadth of five cubits, made equal to the curtains of the court;
16And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
17and their pillars four, and their sockets four of brass, and their hooks of silver, and their capitals overlaid with silver.
17And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
18And all the pins of the court round about of brass, and they [were] overlaid with silver.
18And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
19And this was the construction of the tabernacle of witness, accordingly as it was appointed to Moses; so that the public service should belong to the Levites, through Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
19Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.
20And Beseleel the son of Urias of the tribe of Juda, did as the Lord commanded Moses.
20And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
21And Eliab the son of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan [was there], who was chief artificer in the woven works and needle-works and embroideries, in weaving with the scarlet and fine linen.
21And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.
