8 aAll the ▼▼Lit wise of heart
skillful people among those who were performing the work made the ▼▼Lit dwelling place
tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and ▼▼Or bluish; LXX hyacinth in color, and so throughout the ch
violet, purple, and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer, ▼▼Lit he
Bezalel made them. 9The length of each curtain was ▼▼About 42 ft. long and 6 ft. wide or 13 m and 1.8 m
twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had ▼▼Lit one measure
the same measurements. 10He ▼▼Or coupled
joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he ▼▼Or coupled
joined to one another. 11And he made loops of violet on the edge of the ▼▼Lit one curtain from the end in the coupling
outermost curtain in the first ▼▼Lit coupling
set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was ▼▼Lit one curtain from the end in the coupling
outermost in the second ▼▼Lit coupling
set. 12He made nfifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the ▼▼Lit end
edge of the curtain that was in the second ▼▼Lit coupling
set; the loops were opposite each other. 13He also made qfifty clasps of gold, and ▼▼Or coupled
joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was ▼▼Lit one
a unit. 14 Then the made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he ▼
▼Lit made them
made eleven curtains in all. 15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had ▼▼Lit one measure
the same measurements. 16He ▼▼Or coupled
joined five curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. 17Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first ▼▼Lit tie
set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second ▼▼Lit tie
set. 18He also made fifty clasps of ▼▼Or copper
bronze to ▼▼Or couple
join the tent together so that it would be ▼▼Lit one
a unit. 19And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins ▼▼Or tanned
dyed red, and a covering of ▼▼Meaning of the Heb uncertain
fine leather above. 20 aeThen he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 21Ten cubits was the length of ▼
▼Lit the
each board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 22There were two tenons for each board, ▼▼Lit bound
fitted to one another; he did this to all the boards of the tabernacle. 23So he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards ▼▼Lit to the side of the Negev, to the south
for the south side; 24and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons. 25Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, 26and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board. 27And for the ▼▼Lit far parts
back of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. 28He made two boards for the corners of the ▼▼Lit dwelling place
tabernacle at the ▼▼Lit far parts
back. 29They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its ▼▼Or head
top, ▼▼Or with reference to
to the first ring; he did this with both of them for the two corners. 30There were eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases, two bases under every board. 31 Then he made anbars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 32and five bars for the boards of the ▼
▼Or second
other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the ▼▼Lit far parts
back side to the west. 33And he made the middle bar to pass through in the ▼▼Lit midst
center of the boards from end to end. 34Then he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. 35 arMoreover, he made the veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 36And he made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four bases of silver for them. 37He also made a ascurtain for the doorway of the tent, of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a ▼
▼Lit variegator; i.e., a weaver in colors
weaver; 38and he made its aufive pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their ▼▼Or rings
bands with gold; but their five bases were of ▼▼Or copper
bronze.
