"Make the Tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen, woven with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them. Each curtain must be the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide. Join five of the curtains together, and do the same with the other five. Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain of the other set. Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty on the edge of the other, opposite each other. Then make fifty clasps of gold and fasten the curtains together, so the Tabernacle will be one unit.
Make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the Tabernacle—eleven in total. All the curtains must be the same size, thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. Join five of them together into one set and six into another. Fold the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and fifty loops along the end curtain in the other. Then make fifty clasps of bronze and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit. The extra half curtain is to hang down at the rear of the Tabernacle. The additional length on either side will hang over the sides of the Tabernacle to cover it. Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows.
Make upright frames of acacia wood for the Tabernacle. Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide, with two projections parallel to each other. Make all the frames this way. Make twenty frames for the south side of the Tabernacle and forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame. For the north side, make twenty frames and forty silver bases, two under each frame. For the west side at the rear, make six frames, and two more frames for the corners at the far end. These corner frames are to be double from the bottom all the way to the top, joined by a single ring. So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases, two under each frame.
Also make crossbars of acacia wood—five for the frames on one side of the Tabernacle, five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west at the rear. The center crossbar must extend from end to end, running through the middle of the frames. Overlay the frames with gold, make gold rings to hold the crossbars, and overlay the crossbars with gold. Set up the Tabernacle according to the pattern I showed you on the mountain.
Make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it. Hang it on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. Hang the curtain with gold hooks and place the Ark of the Testimony behind it. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. Put the atonement cover on the Ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. Place the table outside the curtain on the north side, and the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
For the entrance to the tent, make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold, and cast five bronze bases for them."
