⁸ “Then have them make a sanctuary^(A) for me, and I will dwell^(B) among them. ⁹ Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern^(C) I will show you.

The Ark^(D)

¹⁰ “Have them make an ark^[a](E) of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.^{[b] 11} Overlay^(F) it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. ¹² Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings^(G) on one side and two rings on the other. ¹³ Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.^{(H) 14} Insert the poles^(I) into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it. ¹⁵ The poles are to remain in the rings of this ark; they are not to be removed.^{(J) 16} Then put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law,^(K) which I will give you.

¹⁷ “Make an atonement cover^(L) of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. ¹⁸ And make two cherubim^(M) out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. ¹⁹ Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends. ²⁰ The cherubim^(N) are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing^(O) the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover. ²¹ Place the cover on top of the ark^(P) and put in the ark the tablets of the covenant law^(Q) that I will give you. ²² There, above the cover between the two cherubim^(R) that are over the ark of the covenant law, I will meet^(S) with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites.^(T)

The Table^(U)

²³ “Make a table^(V) of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.^{[c] 24} Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. ²⁵ Also make around it a rim a handbreadth^[d] wide and put a gold molding on the rim. ²⁶ Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners, where the four legs are. ²⁷ The rings are to be close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. ²⁸ Make the poles of acacia wood, overlay them with gold^(W) and carry the table with them. ²⁹ And make its plates and dishes of pure gold, as well as its pitchers and bowls for the pouring out of offerings.^{(X) 30} Put the bread of the Presence^(Y) on this table to be before me at all times.

The Lampstand^(Z)

³¹ “Make a lampstand^(AA) of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. ³² Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand—three on one side and three on the other. ³³ Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. ³⁴ And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. ³⁵ One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair—six branches in all. ³⁶ The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold.^(AB)

³⁷ “Then make its seven lamps^(AC) and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. ³⁸ Its wick trimmers and trays^(AD) are to be of pure gold. ³⁹ A talent^[e] of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories. ⁴⁰ See that you make them according to the pattern^(AE) shown you on the mountain.

The Tabernacle^(A)

⁸ All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands. ⁹ All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.^{[a] 10} They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five. ¹¹ Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set. ¹² They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. ¹³ Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.^(B)

¹⁴ They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. ¹⁵ All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.^{[b] 16} They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set. ¹⁷ Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. ¹⁸ They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.^{(C) 19} Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.^[c]

²⁰ They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. ²¹ Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,^{[d] 22} with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. ²³ They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle ²⁴ and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. ²⁵ For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames ²⁶ and forty silver bases—two under each frame. ²⁷ They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, ²⁸ and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end. ²⁹ At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike. ³⁰ So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

³¹ They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, ³² five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. ³³ They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames. ³⁴ They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

³⁵ They made the curtain^(D) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. ³⁶ They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases. ³⁷ For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer;^{(E) 38} and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.
