¹ Each curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; the eleven curtains were of equal size.

² Bezalel joined five curtains by themselves and [the other] six curtains by themselves.

³ He made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.

⁴ He made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent together into a unit.

⁵ He made a [third] covering for the tent of rams'[1] skins dyed red, and above it a [fourth] covering of[2] porpoise skins.

⁶ Bezalel made boards of acacia wood for the upright framework of the tabernacle.

⁷ Each board was ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

⁸ Each board had two tenons (dovetails), fitted to one another; he did this for all the boards of the tabernacle.

⁹ And [this is how] he made the boards [for frames] for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side;

¹⁰ and he made under the twenty boards forty silver sockets; two sockets under one board for its two tenons (dovetails), and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

¹¹ For the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards,

¹² and their forty silver sockets; two sockets under [the end of] each board.

¹³ And for the rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six [frame] boards.

¹⁴ And he made two boards for each corner of the tabernacle in the rear.

¹⁵ They were separate below, but linked together at the top with one ring; thus he made both of them in both corners.

¹⁶ There were eight boards with sixteen silver sockets, and under [the end of] each board two sockets.

¹⁷ Bezalel made bars of acacia wood, five for the [frame] boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

¹⁸ and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle's other side, and five bars for the boards at the rear side to the west.

¹⁹ And he made the middle bar pass through [horizontally] halfway up the boards from one end to the other.

²⁰ He overlaid the boards and the bars with gold and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars.

²¹ Further, Bezalel made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet fabric, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of an embroiderer.

²² For the veil (partition curtain) he made four support poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were gold, and he cast for them four silver sockets.

²³ He made a screen (curtain) for the doorway of the tent, of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer;

²⁴ and [he made] the five support poles with their hooks, and overlaid their [ornamental] tops and connecting rings with gold; but their five sockets were bronze.

²⁵ Bezalel made the ark [of the covenant] of acacia wood—it was two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide, and one and a half cubits high.

²⁶ And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and out, and made a molding (border) of gold to go all around [the top of it].

²⁷ He cast four rings of gold for it on its four feet, two rings on one side and two rings on the other side.

²⁸ He made carrying poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

²⁹ He put the carrying poles through the rings at the sides of the ark, to carry it.

³⁰ Bezalel made the mercy seat of pure gold; it was two and a half cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide.

³¹ He made two cherubim of hammered gold; he made them at the two ends of the mercy seat,

³² one cherub at one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim [of one piece] with the mercy seat at the two ends.

³³ The cherubim spread out their wings upward, covering and protecting the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were [looking downward] toward the mercy seat.

³⁴ Bezalel made the table [for the bread] of acacia wood; it was two cubits long, a cubit wide, and one and a half cubits high.

³⁵ He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a border of gold for it all around [its top].
