Exodus 26:1-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

1. “And the tabernacle you will make with ten curtains; you will make them of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim, the work of a skilled craftsman.

2. The length of the one curtain will be twenty-eight cubits, and the width will be four cubits for the one curtain; one measure will be for all the curtains.

3. Five curtains will be joined to one another, and five curtains joined to one another.

4. And you will make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; and you will do so on the edge of the end curtain in the second set.

5. You will make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you will make fifty loops on the end of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops are to be opposite to one another.

6. And you will make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be one.

7. “And you will make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you will make them eleven curtains.

8. The length of the one curtain will be thirty cubits, and the width will be four cubits for the one curtain; one measure will be for the eleven curtains.

9. And you will join five curtains together and six curtains together, and you will fold double the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.

10. And you will make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain at the end of the first set and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set.

11. And you will make fifty bronze clasps, and you will put the clasps in the loops and join the tent, so that it will be one.

12. “And the surplus in the curtains of the tent will be an overhang; the surplus half curtain will hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13. And a cubit from one side and a cubit from the other side in the surplus in the length of the curtains of the tent will be hung over the sides of the tabernacle equally to cover it.

14. “And you will make a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skins and a covering of fine leather to go above.
