Exodus 26:19-34 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. Then make forty silver bases to go under the twenty boards. There will be two bases under the first board for its two pegs, two bases under the next board for its two pegs, and so on.

20. For the dwelling’s other side on the north, make twenty boards

21. and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.

22. For the back of the dwelling on the west, make six boards.

23. Make two additional boards for the dwelling’s rear corners.

24. They should be spread out at the bottom but joined together at the top with one ring. In this way, these two boards will form the two corners.

25. And so there will be eight boards with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.

26. You should also make acacia-wood bars: five for the boards on one side of the dwelling,

27. five bars for the boards on the other side of the dwelling, and five bars for the boards on the back wall of the dwelling on the west.

28. The middle bar, halfway up the boards, should run from one end to the other.

29. Cover the boards with gold. Make gold rings to house the bars. Cover the bars with gold.

30. Then set up the dwelling according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain.

31. Make a veil of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and of fine twisted linen. Work figures of winged heavenly creatures into its design.

32. Hang it on four acacia-wood posts covered in gold. They should have gold hooks and stand on four silver bases.

33. Hang the veil under the clasps, and put the chest containing the covenant there behind the veil. The veil will separate for you the holy from the holiest space.

34. Place the gold cover on the chest containing the covenant in the holiest space.
