Exodus 26

1 MOREOVER, YOU shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet [stuff], with cherubim skillfully embroidered shall you make them.2 The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; each of the curtains shall measure the same.3 The five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.4 And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and likewise in the second set.5 Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain that is in the second coupling or set, so that the loops on one correspond to the loops on the other.6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold and fasten the curtains together with the clasps; then the tabernacle shall be one whole.7 And make curtains of goats’ hair to be a [second] covering over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.8 One curtain shall be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; and the eleven curtains shall all measure the same.9 You shall join together five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the front of the tabernacle [to make a closed door].10 And make fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain in the one set and fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain in the second set.11 You shall make fifty clasps of bronze and put the clasps into the loops and couple the tent together, that it may be one whole.12 The surplus that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.13 And the cubit on the one side and the cubit on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.14 You shall make a [third] covering for the tent of rams’ skins tanned red, and a [fourth] covering above that of dolphin or porpoise skins.15 And you shall make the upright frame for the tabernacle of boards of acacia wood.16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a board and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board.17 Make two tenons in each board for dovetailing and fitting together; so shall you do for all the tabernacle boards.18 And make the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side;19 And you shall make forty silver sockets under the twenty boards, two sockets under each board for its two tenons.20 And for the north side of the tabernacle there shall be twenty boards21 And their forty silver sockets, two sockets under each board.22 For the back or west side of the tabernacle you shall make six boards.23 Make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the rear on both sides.24 They shall be coupled down below and coupled together on top with one ring. Thus shall it be for both of them; they shall form the two corners.25 And that will be eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each board.26 And you shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of one side,27 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the rear end of the tabernacle, for the back wall to the west.28 And the middle bar halfway up the boards shall pass through from end to end.29 You shall overlay the boards with gold and make their rings of gold to hold the bars and overlay the bars with gold.30 You shall erect the tabernacle after the plan of it shown you on the mountain.31 And make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen, skillfully worked with cherubim on it.32 You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold, with gold hooks, on four sockets of silver.33 And you shall hang the veil from the clasps and bring the ark of the Testimony into place within the veil; and the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.34 And you shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.35 And you shall set the table [for the showbread] outside the veil [in the Holy Place] on the north side and the lampstand opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle.36 You shall make a hanging [to form a screen] for the door of the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen, embroidered. 37 You shall make five pillars of acacia wood to support the hanging curtain and overlay them with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five [base] sockets of bronze for them.

Exodus 27

1 AND MAKE the altar of acacia wood, five cubits square and three cubits high [within reach of all].2 Make horns for it on its four corners; they shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.3 You shall make pots to take away its ashes, and shovels, basins, forks, and firepans; make all its utensils of bronze.4 Also make for it a grate, a network of bronze; and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.5 And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar, so that the net will extend halfway down the altar.6 And make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood overlaid with bronze.7 The poles shall be put through the rings on the two sides of the altar, with which to carry it. 8 You shall make [the altar] hollow with slabs or planks; as shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made.9 And you shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have hangings of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits long for one side;10 Their pillars shall be twenty and their sockets twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their joinings shall be of silver;11 Likewise for the north side hangings, a hundred cubits long, and their twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their joinings shall be of silver.12 And for the breadth of the court on the west side there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, with ten pillars and ten sockets.13 The breadth of the court to the front, the east side, shall be fifty cubits.14 The hangings for one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three sockets.15 On the other side the hangings shall be fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three sockets.16 And for the gate of the court there shall be a hanging [for a screen] twenty cubits long, of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] and fine twined linen, embroidered. It shall have four pillars and four sockets for them.17 All the pillars round about the court shall be joined together with silver rods; their hooks shall be of silver and their sockets of bronze.18 The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits and the breadth fifty and the height five cubits, [with hangings of] fine twined linen and sockets of bronze.19 All the tabernacle’s utensils and instruments used in all its service, and all its pegs and all the pegs for the court, shall be of bronze.20 You shall command the Israelites to provide you with pure oil of crushed olives for the light, to cause it to burn continually [every night].21 In the Tent of Meeting [of God with His people], outside the veil which sets apart the Testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it burning from evening to morning before the Lord. It shall be a statute to be observed on behalf of the Israelites throughout their generations.

Exodus 28

1 FROM AMONG the Israelites take your brother Aaron and his sons with him, that he may minister to Me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.2 And you shall make for Aaron your brother sacred garments [appointed official dress set apart for special holy services] for honor and for beauty.3 Tell all who are expert, whom I have endowed with skill and good judgment, that they shall make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him for My priesthood.4 They shall make these garments: a breastplate, an ephod [a distinctive vestment to which the breastplate was to be attached], a robe, long and sleeved tunic of checkerwork, a turban, and a sash or band. They shall make sacred garments for Aaron your brother and his sons to minister to Me in the priest’s office.5 They shall receive [from the people] and use gold, and blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], and fine linen.6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], and fine twined linen, skillfully woven and worked.7 It shall have two shoulder straps to join the two [back and front] edges, that it may be held together.8 The skillfully woven girding band which is on the ephod shall be made of the same, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], and fine twined linen.9 And you shall take two onyx or beryl stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Israel;10 Six of their names on one stone and the six names of the rest on the other stone, arranged in order of their birth.11 With the work of a stone engraver, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel. You shall have them set in sockets or rosettes of gold.12 And you shall put the two stones upon the [two] shoulder straps of the ephod [of the high priest] as memorial stones for Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names upon his two shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.13 And you shall make sockets or rosettes of gold for settings,14 And two chains of pure gold, like cords shall you twist them, and fasten the corded chains to the settings.15 You shall make a breastplate of judgment, in skilled work; like the workmanship of the ephod shall you make it, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], and of fine twined linen.16 The breastplate shall be square and doubled; a span [nine inches] shall be its length and a span shall be its breadth.17 You shall set in it four rows of stones: a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle shall be the first row;18 The second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond [so called at that time];19 The third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;20 And the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be set in gold filigree.21 And the stones shall be twelve, according to the names of the sons of Israel, like the engravings of a signet, each with its name for the twelve tribes.22 You shall make for the breastplate chains of pure gold twisted like cords.23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold and put [them] on the two edges of the breastplate.24 And you shall put the two twisted, cordlike chains of gold in the two rings which are on the edges of the breastplate.25 The other two ends of the two twisted, cordlike chains you shall fasten in the two sockets or rosettes in front, putting them on the shoulder straps of the ephod;26 And make two rings of gold and put them at the two ends of the breastplate on its inside edge next to the ephod.27 Two gold rings you shall make and attach them to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod in front, close by where they join, above the skillfully woven girdle or band of the ephod.28 And they shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the skillfully woven girding band of the ephod, and that the breastplate may not become loose from the ephod.29 So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart when he goes into the Holy Place, to bring them in continual remembrance before the Lord.30 In the breastplate of judgment you shall put the Urim and the Thummim [unspecified articles used when the high priest asked God’s counsel for all Israel]; they shall be upon Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord, and Aaron shall bear the judgment (rights, judicial decisions) of the Israelites upon his heart before the Lord continually.31 Make the robe [to be worn beneath] the ephod all of blue.32 There shall be a hole in the center of it [to slip over the head], with a binding of woven work around the hole, like the opening in a coat of mail or a garment, that it may not fray or tear.33 And you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] around about its skirts, with gold bells between them;34 A gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, round about on the skirts of the robe.35 Aaron shall wear the robe when he ministers, and its sound shall be heard when he goes [alone] into the Holy of Holies before the Lord and when he comes out, lest he die there.36 And you shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO THE LORD. 37 You shall fasten it on the front of the turban with a blue cord.38 It shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may take upon himself and bear [any] iniquity [connected with] the holy things which the Israelites shall give and dedicate; and it shall always be upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord [in the priest’s person]. 39 And you shall weave the long and sleeved tunic of checkerwork of fine linen or silk and make a turban of fine linen or silk; and you shall make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.40 For Aaron’s sons you shall make long and sleeved tunics and belts or sashes and caps, for glory and honor and beauty.41 And you shall put them on Aaron your brother and his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain and sanctify them [set them apart for God], that they may serve Me as priests.42 You shall make for them [white] linen trunks to cover their naked flesh, reaching from the waist to the thighs.43 And they shall be on Aaron and his sons when they go into the Tent of Meeting or when they come near to the altar to minister in the Holy Place, lest they bring iniquity upon themselves and die; it shall be a statute forever to Aaron and to his descendants after him.
