Exodus 36:33-38

33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.

34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings [of] gold [to be] places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 And he made a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: [with] cherubim he made it of curious work.

36 And he made to it four pillars [of] shittim [wood], and overlaid them with gold: their hooks [were of] gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

37 And he made a hanging for the tabernacle-door [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needle-work;

38 And the five pillars of it, with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets [were of] brass.
