New Testament

Exodus 26:9-23 New English Translation (NET)

9. You are to join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. You are to double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.

10. You are to make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joins the second set.

11. You are to make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it is a unit.

12. Now the part that remains of the curtains of the tent – the half curtain that remains will hang over at the back of the tabernacle.

13. The foot and a half on the one side and the foot and a half on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent will hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on one side and the other side, to cover it.

14. “You are to make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather.

15. “You are to make the frames for the tabernacle out of acacia wood as uprights.

16. Each frame is to be fifteen feet long, and each frame is to be two feet three inches wide,

17. with two projections per frame parallel one to another. You are to make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

18. So you are to make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side,

19. and you are to make forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames – two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise two bases under the next frame for its two projections;

20. and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, twenty frames,

21. and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame, and two bases under the next frame.

22. And for the back of the tabernacle on the west you will make six frames.

23. You are to make two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back.
