In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece.H6213H2572H7165H2091H2266H3407H802H269H7165H259H4908 7"Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.H6213H3407H5795H168H4908H6249H6240H3407H6213 8These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.H753H259H3407H7970H520H7341H259H3407H702H520H6249H6240H3407H259H4060 9Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent.H2266H2568H3407H8337H3407H3717H8345H3407H4136H6440H168 10Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain.H6213H2572H3924H8193H259H3407H7020H2279H2572H3924H8193H3407H2279H8145 11Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece.H6213H2572H7165H5178H935H7165H3924H2266H168H259 12The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle.H5629H5736H3407H168H2677H3407H5736H5628H268H4908 13Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.H520H2088H520H5736H753H3407H168H5628H6654H4908H3680 14Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.H6213H4372H168H352H5785H119H4372H4605H8476H5785 15"For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.H6213H7175H4908H7848H6086H5975 16Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,H6235H520H753H7175H520H2677H7341H259H7175 17with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical.H8147H3027H259H7175H7947H802H269H6213H7175H4908 18Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.H6213H7175H4908H6242H7175H5045H6285H8486 19Also make forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.H6213H705H134H3701H6242H7175H8147H134H259H7175H8147H3027H8147H134H259H7175H8147H3027 20For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,H8145H6763H4908H6828H6285H6242H7175 21with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.H705H134H3701H8147H134H259H7175H8147H134H259H7175 22Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—H3411H4908H3220H6213H8337H7175 23along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.H8147H7175H6213H4742H4908H3411 24These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way.H8382H4295H8382H3162H7218H259H2885H8147H8147H4740 25So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.H8083H7175H134H3701H8337H6240H134H8147H134H259H7175H8147H134H259H7175 26"Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the TabernacleH6213H1280H7848H6086H2568H7175H259H6763H4908 27and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.H2568H1280H7175H8145H6763H4908H2568H1280H7175H6763H4908H3411H3220 28The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.H8484H1280H8432H7175H1272H7097H7097 29Overlay the frames with gold, and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Overlay the crossbars with gold as well.H6823H7175H2091H6213H2885H2091H1004H1280H6823H1280H2091 30"Set up this Tabernacle according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain.H6965H4908H4941H7200H2022 31"For the inside of the Tabernacle, make a special curtain of finely woven linen. Decorate it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.H6213H6532H8504H713H8144H8438H7806H8336H2803H4639H3742H6213 32Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases.H5414H702H5982H7848H6823H2091H2053H2091H702H134H3701 33Hang the inner curtain from clasps, and put the Ark of the Covenant in the room behind it. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.H5414H6532H7165H935H1004H6532H727H5715H6532H914H6944H6944H6944 34"Then put the Ark's cover—the place of atonement—on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.H5414H3727H727H5715H6944H6944 35Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side.H7760H7979H2351H6532H4501H5227H7979H6763H4908H8486H5414H7979H6828H6763 36"Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.H6213H4539H6607H168H8504H713H8438H8144H7806H8336H4639H7551 37Craft five posts from acacia wood.
