Exodus 26

CEB

MSG

1 Make the dwelling with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and deep red yarns. Work figures of winged heavenly creatures into their design.
1 "Make The Dwelling itself from ten panels of tapestry woven from fine twisted linen, blue and purple and scarlet material, with an angel-cherubim design. A skilled craftsman should do it.
2 Each curtain should be forty-two feet long and each curtain six feet wide. All the curtains should be the same size.
2 The panels of tapestry are each to be forty-six feet long and six feet wide.
3 Five curtains will be joined to each other as one set, while the other five curtains will be joined together as a second set.
3 Join five of the panels together, and then the other five together.
4 Make loops of blue thread on the edge of the outer curtain in the first set. Do the same on the edge of the outer curtain in the second set.
4 Make loops of blue along the edge of the outside panel of the first set and the same on the outside panel of the second set.
5 Make fifty loops on the one curtain in the first set and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set. The loops should be opposite each other.
5 Make fifty loops on each panel.
6 Then make fifty gold clasps. Join the curtains to each other with the clasps so that the dwelling becomes one whole structure.
6 Then make fifty gold clasps and join the tapestries together so that The Dwelling is one whole.
7 You should also make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the dwelling. Make eleven curtains.
7 "Next make tapestries of goat hair for a tent that will cover The Dwelling. Make eleven panels of these tapestries.
8 Each curtain should be forty-five feet long and each curtain six feet wide. The eleven curtains should all be the same size.
8 The length of each panel will be forty-five feet long and six feet wide.
9 Join five of the curtains together, and join the six other curtains together. Double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.
9 Join five of the panels together, and then the other six. Fold the sixth panel double at the front of the tent.
10 Make fifty loops on the edge of the outer curtain in one set and fifty loops on the edge of the outer curtain in the second set.
10 Now make fifty loops along the edge of the end panel and fifty loops along the edge of the joining panel.
11 Make fifty copper clasps. Put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it becomes one whole structure.
11 Make fifty clasps of bronze and connect the clasps with the loops, bringing the tent together.
12 The extra cloth that is left over from the tent curtains, that is, the half curtain that remains, should hang over the back of the dwelling.
12 "Hang half of the overlap of the tapestry panels over the rear of The Dwelling.
13 Eighteen inches on one side and eighteen inches on the other side of the leftover length of the tent's curtains will hang over the two sides of the dwelling to cover it.
13 The eighteen inches of overlap on either side will cover the sides of the tent.
14 Then for the tent, make a covering of rams' skins dyed red and an outer covering of beaded leather.
14 Finally, make a covering for the tapestries of tanned rams' skins dyed red and over that a covering of dolphin skins.
15 Make acacia-wood boards to stand upright as a frame for the dwelling.
15 "Frame The Dwelling with planks of acacia wood,
16 Each board will be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.
16 each section of frame fifteen feet long and two and one-quarter feet wide,
17 Put two pegs on each board for joining them to each other. Do this for all the dwelling's boards.
17 with two pegs for securing them. Make all the frames identical:
18 Make twenty boards for the dwelling's southern side.
18 twenty frames for the south side
19 Then make forty silver bases to go under the twenty boards. There will be two bases under the first board for its two pegs, two bases under the next board for its two pegs, and so on.
19 with forty silver sockets to receive the two pegs from each of the twenty frames;
20 For the dwelling's other side on the north, make twenty boards
21 and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.
22 For the back of the dwelling on the west, make six boards.
22 for the rear of The Dwelling, which faces west, make six frames
23 Make two additional boards for the dwelling's rear corners.
23 with two additional frames for the rear corners.
24 They should be spread out at the bottom but joined together at the top with one ring. In this way, these two boards will form the two corners.
24 Both of the two corner frames need to be double in thickness from top to bottom and fit into a single ring
25 And so there will be eight boards with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.
25 - eight frames altogether with sixteen sockets of silver, two under each frame.
26 You should also make acacia-wood bars: five for the boards on one side of the dwelling,
26 "Now make crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of The Dwelling,
27 five bars for the boards on the other side of the dwelling, and five bars for the boards on the back wall of the dwelling on the west.
27 five for the other side, and five for the back side facing west.
28 The middle bar, halfway up the boards, should run from one end to the other.
28 The center crossbar runs from end to end halfway up the frames.
29 Cover the boards with gold. Make gold rings to house the bars. Cover the bars with gold.
29 Cover the frames with a veneer of gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. And cover the crossbars with a veneer of gold.
30 Then set up the dwelling according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain.
30 Then put The Dwelling together, following the design you were shown on the mountain.
31 Make a veil of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and of fine twisted linen. Work figures of winged heavenly creatures into its design.
31 "Make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. Have a design of angel-cherubim woven into it by a skilled craftsman.
32 Hang it on four acacia-wood posts covered in gold. They should have gold hooks and stand on four silver bases.
32 Fasten it with gold hooks to four posts of acacia wood covered with a veneer of gold, set on four silver bases.
33 Hang the veil under the clasps, and put the chest containing the covenant there behind the veil. The veil will separate for you the holy from the holiest space.
33 After hanging the curtain from the clasps, bring the Chest of The Testimony in behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Holy-of-Holies.
34 Place the gold cover on the chest containing the covenant in the holiest space.
34 Now place the Atonement-Cover lid on the Chest of The Testimony in the Holy-of-Holies.
35 Place the table outside the veil, and set the lampstand opposite the table by the south wall of the dwelling. Place the table by the north wall.
35 Place the Table and the Lampstand outside the curtain, the Lampstand on the south side of The Dwelling and the Table opposite it on the north side.
36 Make a screen for the tent's entrance of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and of fine twisted linen, decorated with needlework.
36 "Make a screen for the door of the tent. Weave it from blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.
37 Make five acacia-wood posts for the screen. Cover the posts with gold. Their hooks should be gold. Cast five copper bases for the posts.
37 Frame the weaving with five poles of acacia wood covered with a veneer of gold and make gold hooks to hang the weaving. Cast five bronze bases for the poles.
