Exodus 26:13-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. And one cubit will hang down on one side, and another on the other side, which is more than the length of the curtains, protecting both sides of the tabernacle.

14. You shall also make another covering for the roof from the skins of rams, dyed-red, and above that again, another covering of violet-colored skins.

15. You shall also make the standing panels of the tabernacle from setim wood.

16. Of these, each shall have ten cubits in length, and in width, one and one half.

17. At the sides of the panels, there shall be made two dovetails, by which one panel may be connected to another panel; and in this way all the panels shall be prepared.

18. Of these, twenty shall be at the meridian, which lies toward the south.

19. For these, you shall cast forty bases of silver, so that two bases will lie under each panel at its two corners.

20. Likewise, at the second side of the tabernacle, which lies to the north, there shall be twenty panels,

21. having forty bases of silver; two bases shall support each panel.

22. Truly, toward the western part of the tabernacle, you shall make six panels,

23. and again another two, which will be raised at the corners, behind the back of the tabernacle.

24. And these shall be joined together from bottom to top, and one joint shall retain them all. Likewise, two of the panels, which will be set at the corners, shall be served by similar joints.

25. And together these will be eight panels, and their bases of silver, sixteen, counting two bases for each panel.

26. You shall also make five bars of setim wood, to connect the panels on one side of the tabernacle,

27. and five others on the other side, and the same number toward the western part.

28. These shall be set along the middle of the panels, from one end all the way to the other end.

29. Likewise, the panels themselves you shall overlay with gold, and you shall establish rings of gold in them, by which the bars of the panels may be connected. These you shall cover with layers of gold.

30. And you shall raise the tabernacle according to the example which was shown to you on the mountain.
