New Testament

Exodus 26:8-28 New King James Version (NKJV)

8. The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measurements.

9. And you shall couple five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the forefront of the tent.

10. You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the second set.

11. And you shall make fifty bronze clasps, put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

12. The remnant that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

13. And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and on that side, to cover it.

14. “You shall also make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the tent, and a covering of badger skins above that.

15. “And for the tabernacle you shall make the boards of acacia wood, standing upright.

16. Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the width of each board.

17. Two tenons shall be in each board for binding one to another. Thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

18. And you shall make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side.

19. You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons.

20. And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, there shall be twenty boards

21. and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under each of the boards.

22. For the far side of the tabernacle, westward, you shall make six boards.

23. And you shall also make two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle.

24. They shall be coupled together at the bottom and they shall be coupled together at the top by one ring. Thus it shall be for both of them. They shall be for the two corners.

25. So there shall be eight boards with their sockets of silver—sixteen sockets—two sockets under each of the boards.

26. “And you shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle,

27. five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far side westward.

28. The middle bar shall pass through the midst of the boards from end to end.
