Exodus 26-28

Exodus 26

¹‘And thou dost make the tabernacle: ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet; with cherubs, work of a designer, thou dost make them;

²the length of the one curtain is eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit, one measure is to all the curtains;

³five of the curtains are joining one unto another, and five curtains are joining one to another.

⁴‘And thou hast made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the joining; and so thou makest in the edge of the outermost curtain, in the joining of the second.

⁵fifty loops thou dost make in the one curtain, and fifty loops thou dost make in the edge of the curtain which is in the joining of the second, causing the loops to take hold one unto another;

⁶and thou hast made fifty hooks of gold, and hast joined the curtains one to another by the hooks, and the tabernacle hath been one.

⁷‘And thou hast made curtains of goats' hair, for a tent over the tabernacle; thou dost make eleven curtains:

⁸the length of the one curtain is thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit; one measure is to the eleven curtains;

⁹and thou hast joined the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart, and hast doubled the six curtains over-against the front of the tent.

¹⁰‘And thou hast made fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain, the outermost in the joining, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;

¹¹and thou hast made fifty hooks of brass, and hast brought in the hooks into the loops, and hast joined the tent, and it hath been one.

¹²‘And the superfluity in the curtains of the tent -- the half of the curtain which is superfluous -- hath spread over the hinder part of the tabernacle;

¹³and the cubit on this side, and the cubit on that, in the superfluity in the length of the curtains of the tent, is spread out over the sides of the tabernacle, on this and on that, to cover it;

¹⁴and thou hast made a covering for the tent, of rams' skins made red, and a covering of badgers' skins above.

¹⁵‘And thou hast made the boards for the tabernacle, of shittim wood, standing up;

¹⁶ten cubits is the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the one board;

¹⁷two handles are to the one board, joined one unto another; so thou dost make for all the boards of the tabernacle;

¹⁸and thou hast made the boards of the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;

¹⁹and forty sockets of silver thou dost make under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.

²⁰‘And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side, are twenty boards,

²¹and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board.

²²And for the sides of the tabernacle westward, thou dost make six boards.

²³And two boards thou dost make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

²⁴And they are pairs beneath, and together they are pairs above its head unto the one ring; so is it for them both, they are for the two corners.

²⁵And they have been eight boards, and their sockets of silver are sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board.

²⁶‘And thou hast made bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

²⁷and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle at the two sides, westward;

²⁸and one hath caused the middle bar in the midst of the boards to reach from end unto end;

²⁹and the boards thou dost overlay with gold, and their rings thou dost make of gold places for bars, and hast overlaid their bars with gold;

³⁰and thou hast raised up the tabernacle according to its fashion which thou hast been shewn in the mount.

³¹‘And thou hast made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer; he maketh it with cherubs;

³²and thou hast put it on four pillars of shittim wood, overlaid with gold, their pegs are of gold, on four sockets of silver.

³³‘And thou hast put the vail under the hooks, and hast brought in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony; and the vail hath made a separation for you between the holy and the holy of holies.

³⁴‘And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony, in the holy of holies.

³⁵‘And thou hast set the table at the outside of the vail, and the candlestick over-against the table on the side of the tabernacle southward, and the table thou dost put on the north side.

³⁶‘And thou hast made a covering for the opening of the tent, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer;

³⁷and thou hast made for the covering five pillars of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, their pegs are of gold, and thou hast cast for them five sockets of brass.

Exodus 27

¹‘And thou hast made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth -- the altar is square -- and three cubits its height.

²And thou hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it with brass.

³And thou hast made its pots to remove its ashes, and its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire-pans, even all its vessels thou dost make of brass.

⁴‘And thou hast made for it a grate of net-work of brass, and hast made on the net four rings of brass on its four extremities,

⁵and hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net hath been unto the middle of the altar.

⁶‘And thou hast made staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with brass.

⁷And the staves have been brought into the rings, and the staves have been on the two sides of the altar in bearing it.

⁸Hollow with boards thou dost make it, as it hath been shewed thee in the mount, so do they make it.

⁹‘And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit is the length for the one side,

¹⁰and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets are of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets are of silver;

¹¹and so for the north side in length, hangings of a hundred cubits in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets are of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets are of silver.

¹²‘And for the breadth of the court at the west side are hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

¹³And for the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, are fifty cubits.

¹⁴And the hangings at the side are fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

¹⁵And at the second side are hangings fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

¹⁶‘And for the gate of the court a covering of twenty cubits, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets four.

¹⁷All the pillars of the court round about are filleted with silver, their pegs are silver, and their sockets brass.

¹⁸‘The length of the court is a hundred by the cubit, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twined linen, and their sockets are brass,

¹⁹even all the vessels of the tabernacle, in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, are brass.

²⁰‘And thou -- thou dost command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause the lamp to go up continually;

²¹in the tent of meeting, at the outside of the vail, which is over the testimony, doth Aaron -- his sons also -- arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah -- a statute age-during to their generations, from the sons of Israel.

Exodus 28

¹‘And thou, bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for his being priest to Me, even Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron;

²and thou hast made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for honour and for beauty;

³and thou -- thou dost speak unto all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, and they have made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being priest to Me.

⁴‘And these are the garments which they make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle; yea, they have made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.

⁵‘And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen,

⁶and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer;

⁷it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined.

⁸‘And the girdle of his ephod which is on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

⁹‘And thou hast taken the two shoham stones, and hast opened on them the names of the sons of Israel;

¹⁰six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their births;

¹¹the work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet, thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of Israel; turned round, embroidered with gold, thou dost make them.

¹²‘And thou hast set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod -- stones of memorial to the sons of Israel -- and Aaron hath borne their names before Jehovah, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.

¹³‘And thou hast made embroidered things of gold,

¹⁴and two chains of pure gold, wreathed work thou dost make them, work of thick bands, and thou hast put the thick chains on the embroidered things.

¹⁵‘And thou hast made a breastplate of judgment, work of a designer; according to the work of the ephod thou dost make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen thou dost make it;

¹⁶it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.

¹⁷‘And thou hast set in it settings of stone, four rows of stone; a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle is the first row;

¹⁸and the second row is emerald, sapphire, and diamond;

¹⁹and the third row is opal, agate, and amethyst;

²⁰and the fourth row is beryl, and onyx, and jasper; embroidered with gold are they in their settings,

²¹and the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, openings of a signet, each by his name are they for the twelve tribes.

²²‘And thou hast made on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands, of pure gold;

²³and thou hast made on the breastplate two rings of gold, and hast put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate;

²⁴and thou hast put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate;

²⁵and the two ends of the two thick bands thou dost put on the two embroidered things, and thou hast put them on the shoulders of the ephod over-against its face.

²⁶‘And thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which is over-against the ephod within;

²⁷and thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, beneath, over-against its front, over-against its joining, above the girdle of the ephod,

²⁸and they bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod.

²⁹‘And Aaron hath borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going in unto the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

³⁰‘And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the Lights and the Perfections, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.

³¹‘And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,

³²and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver, as the opening of a habergeon there is to it; it is not rent.

³³‘And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about;

³⁴a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate are on the hems of the upper robe round about.

³⁵‘And it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die.

³⁶‘And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened on it -- openings of a signet -- ‘Holy to Jehovah;'

³⁷and thou hast put it on a blue ribbon, and it hath been on the mitre -- over-against the front of the mitre it is;

³⁸and it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel do hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it hath been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before Jehovah.

³⁹‘And thou hast embroidered the coat of linen, and hast made a mitre of linen, and a girdle thou dost make -- work of an embroiderer.

⁴⁰‘And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou hast made for them girdles, yea, bonnets thou dost make for them, for honour and for beauty;

⁴¹and thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.

⁴²‘And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs;

⁴³and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; a statute age-during to him, and to his seed after him.
