Exodus 26:21-31

21 quadraginta habentes bases argenteas binae bases singulis tabulis subponentur

22 ad occidentalem vero plagam tabernaculi facies sex tabulas

23 et rursum alias duas quae in angulis erigantur post tergum tabernaculi

24 eruntque coniunctae a deorsum usque sursum et una omnes conpago retinebit duabus quoque tabulis quae in angulis ponendae sunt similis iunctura servabitur

25 et erunt simul tabulae octo bases earum argenteae sedecim duabus basibus per unam tabulam supputatis

26 facies et vectes de lignis setthim quinque ad continendas tabulas in uno latere tabernaculi

27 et quinque alios in altero et eiusdem numeri ad occidentalem plagam

28 qui mittentur per medias tabulas a summo usque ad summum

29 ipsasque tabulas deaurabis et fundes eis anulos aureos per quos vectes tabulata contineant quos operies lamminis aureis

30 et eriges tabernaculum iuxta exemplum quod tibi in monte monstratum est

31 facies et velum de hyacintho et purpura coccoque bis tincto et bysso retorta opere plumario et pulchra varietate contextum
