Exodus 26:12-30 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

12. Hang the extra half-piece over the back of the Tent.

13. The extra fifty centimetres on each side of the length is to hang over the sides of the Tent to cover it.

14. “Make two more coverings, one of rams' skin dyed red and the other of fine leather, to serve as the outer cover.

15. “Make upright frames for the Tent out of acacia wood.

16. Each frame is to be four metres long and 66 centimetres wide,

17. with two matching projections, so that the frames can be joined together. All the frames are to have these projections.

18. Make twenty frames for the south side

19. and forty silver bases to go under them, two bases under each frame to hold its two projections.

20. Make twenty frames for the north side of the Tent

21. and forty silver bases, two under each frame.

22. For the back of the Tent on the west, make six frames,

23. and two frames for the corners.

24. These corner frames are to be joined at the bottom and connected all the way to the top. The two frames that form the two corners are to be made in this way.

25. So there will be eight frames with their sixteen silver bases, two under each frame.

26. “Make fifteen crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the Tent,

27. five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west end, at the back.

28. The middle crossbar, set halfway up the frames, is to extend from one end of the Tent to the other.

29. Cover the frames with gold and fit them with gold rings to hold the crossbars, which are also to be covered with gold.

30. Set up the Tent according to the plan that I showed you on the mountain.
