Exodus 26:23-33

23 With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

24 The two are to be joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, forming the two angles.

25 So there are to be eight boards, with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under every board.

26 And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

27 And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

28 And the middle rod is to go through the rings of all the boards from end to end.

29 And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

30 And you are to make the House from the design which you saw on the mountain.

31 And you are to make a veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman:

32 Hanging it by gold hooks from four pillars of wood, plated with gold and fixed in silver bases.

33 And you are to put up the veil under the hooks, and put inside it the ark of the law: the veil is to be a division between the holy place and the most holy.
