Exodus 25:17-26:37    NASB

17“You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide. 18 You shall make two cherubim of gold, make
them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim
of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. 20 The cherubim shall have their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings
and facing one another; the faces of the cherubim are to be turned toward the mercy seat. 21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and
in the ark you shall put the testimony which I will give to you. 22 There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the
two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel.
23“You shall make a table of acacia wood, two cubits long and one cubit wide and one and a half cubits high. 24 You shall overlay it with pure gold
and make a gold border around it. 25 You shall make for it a rim of a hand breadth around it; and you shall make a gold border for the rim around
it. 26 Y ou shall make four gold rings for it and put rings on the four corners which are on its four feet. 27 The rings shall be close to the
rim as holders for the poles to carry the table. 28 You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold, so that with them the table
may be carried. 29 You shall make its dishes and its pans and its jars and its bowls with which to pour drink offerings; you shall make them of
pure gold. 30 You shall set the bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.
31“Then you shall make a lamp stand of pure gold. The lamp stand and its base and its shaft are to be made of hammered work; its cups, its bulbs and
its flowers shall be of one piece with it. 32 Six branches shall go out from its sides; three branches of the lamp stand from its one side and
three branches of the lamp stand from its other side. 33 Three cups shall be shaped like almond blossoms in the one branch, a bulb and a flower,
and three cups shaped like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bulb and a flower—so for six branches going out from the lamp stand; 34
and in the lamp stand four cups shaped like almond blossoms, its bulbs and its flowers. 35 A bulb shall be under the first pair of branches coming
out of it, and a bulb under the second pair of branches coming out of it, and a bulb under the third pair of branches coming out of it, for the
six branches coming out of the lamp stand. 36 Their bulbs and their branches shall be of one piece with it; all of it shall be one piece of hammered
work of pure gold. 37 Then you shall make its lamps seven in number; and they shall mount its lamps so as to shed light on the space in front of
it. 38 Its snuffers and their trays shall be of pure gold. 39 It shall be made from a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. 40 See that
you make them after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.

Chapter 26

1“Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material; you shall
make them with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have the same measurements.
3 Five curtains shall be joined to one another, and the other five curtains shall be joined to one another. 4 You shall make loops of blue on the edge
of the outermost curtain in the first set, and likewise you shall make them on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set. 5 You shall
make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite
each other. 6 You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and join the curtains to one another with the clasps so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

7“Then you shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you shall make eleven curtains in all. 8 The length of each
curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have the same measurements. 9
You shall join five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent. 10
You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the first set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.
11“You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and you shall put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it will be a unit. 12 The
overlapping part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall lap over the back of the tabernacle.
13 The cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall lap over the sides of
the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it. 14 You shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering of porpoise
skins above.
15“Then you shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 16Ten cubits shall be the length of each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 17 There shall be two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus you shall do for all the boards of the tabernacle. 18
You shall make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side. 19 You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards,
two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons; 20 and for the second side of the tabernacle,
on the north side, twenty boards, 2 1and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board. 2 2For
the rear of the tabernacle, to the west, you shall make six boards. 23 You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear.
24 They shall be double beneath, and together they shall be complete to its top to the first ring; thus it shall be with both of them: they shall
form the two corners.

25 There shall be eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board and two sockets under another board.

26“Then you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of
the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle for the rear side to the west. 28 The middle bar in the center of the
boards shall pass through from end to end. 29 You shall overlay the boards with gold and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars; and
you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30 Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to its plan which you have been shown in the mountain.31“You shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman. 32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid
with gold, their hooks also being of gold, on four sockets of silver. 33 You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring in the ark
of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall serve for you as a partition between the holy place and the holy of holies. 34 You shall
put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies. 35 You shall set the table outside the veil, and the lamp stand opposite
the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.

36“You shall make a screen for the doorway of the tent of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver. 37
You shall make five pillars of acacia for the screen and overlay them with gold, their hooks also being of gold; and you shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.
