the tent
Exodus 25:1-30
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering.
3
And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; gold, and silver, and brass,
4
And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
5
And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
6
Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense,
7
Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, and in the breastplate.
8
And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.
9
According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it.
10
And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
11
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, within and without shalt thou overlay it, and shalt make upon it a crown of gold round about.
12
And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four corners thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.
13
And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
14
And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them.
15
The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: they shall not be taken from it.
16
And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee.
17
And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
18
And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.
19
And make one cherub on the one end, and the other cherub on the other end: even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
20
And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubims be.
21
And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
22
And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel.
23
Thou shalt also make a table of shittim wood: two cubits shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.
24
And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, and make thereto a crown of gold round about.
25
And thou shalt make unto it a border of an hand breadth round about, and thou shalt make a golden crown to the border thereof round about.
26
And thou shalt make for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that are on the four feet thereof.
27
Over against the border shall the rings be for places of the staves to bear the table.
28
And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, that the table may be borne with them.
29
And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.
30
And thou shalt set upon the table shewbread before me alway.

Exodus 36:1-40
1
Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.
2
And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
3
And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
4
And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
5
And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
6
And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
7
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8
And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
9
The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
10
And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11
And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
12
Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.
13
And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
14
And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15
The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
16
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17
And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
18
And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19
And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
20
And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
21
The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22
One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23
And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
24
And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
25
And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
26
And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27
And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28
And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29
And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30
And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31
And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32
And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.
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 cherubims made he it of cunning work.
36
And he made thereunto 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 an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
38
And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
