Exodus 26

The Message Bible MSG

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 The panels of tapestry are each to be forty-six feet long and six feet wide.

3 Join five of the panels together, and then the other five together.

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 each panel.

6 Then make fifty gold clasps and join the tapestries together so that The Dwelling is one whole.

7 "Next make tapestries of goat hair for a tent that will cover The Dwelling. Make eleven panels of these tapestries.

8 The length of each panel will be forty-five feet long and six feet wide.

9 Join five of the panels together, and then the other six. Fold the sixth panel double at the front of the tent.

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 clasps of bronze and connect the clasps with the loops, bringing the tent together.

12 "Hang half of the overlap of the tapestry panels over the rear of The Dwelling.

13 The eighteen inches of overlap on either side will cover the sides of the tent.

14 Finally, make a covering for the tapestries of tanned rams' skins dyed red and over that a covering of dolphin skins.

15 "Frame The Dwelling with planks of acacia wood,

16 each section of frame fifteen feet long and two and one-quarter feet wide,

17 with two pegs for securing them. Make all the frames identical:

18 twenty frames for the south side

19 with forty silver sockets to receive the two pegs from each of the twenty frames;

22 for the rear of The Dwelling, which faces west, make six frames

23 with two additional frames for the rear 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 - eight frames altogether with sixteen sockets of silver, two under each frame.

26 "Now make crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of The Dwelling,

27 five for the other side, and five for the back side facing west.

28 The center crossbar runs from end to end halfway up the frames.

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 put The Dwelling together, following the design you were shown on the mountain.

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 Fasten it with gold hooks to four posts of acacia wood covered with a veneer of gold, set on four silver bases.

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 Now place the Atonement-Cover lid on the Chest of The Testimony in the Holy-of-Holies.

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 door of the tent. Weave it from blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.

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.

New Living Translation NLT

1 “Make the Tabernacle from ten curtains of finely woven linen. Decorate the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

2 These ten curtains must all be exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

3 Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, then join the other five into a second long curtain.

4 Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set.

5 The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.

6 Then make fifty gold clasps and fasten the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece.

7 “Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.

8 These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

9 Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent.

10 Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain.

11 Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece.

12 The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle.

13 Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.

14 Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.

15 “For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.

16 Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,

17 with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical.

18 Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.

19 Also make forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.

22 Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—

23 along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.

24 These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way.

25 So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.

26 “Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle

27 and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.

28 The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.

29 Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well.

30 “Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.

31 “For the inside of the Tabernacle, make a special curtain of finely woven linen. Decorate it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

32 Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases.

33 Hang the inner curtain from clasps, and put the Ark of the Covenant in the room behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34 “Then put the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.

35 Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side.

36 “Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

37 Craft five posts from acacia wood. Overlay them with gold, and hang the curtain from them with gold hooks. Cast five bronze bases for the posts.
