1 Faz a tenda-tabernáculo com dez cortinas de linho fino colorido, com 14 metros de comprimento por 2 de largura; serão das seguintes cores: azul violeta, púrpura e vermelho vivo. Nelas haverá querubins artisticamente bordados.
3 Junta cinco dessas cortinas, lado a lado, de maneira a formarem duas longas peças rectangulares. Emprega laços para poder juntar estas duas peças lado a lado. Terá de haver cinquenta pares de laços para prender as duas extremidades. E terá que haver igualmente cinquenta colchetes para poder atar os laços, de forma a que o tabernáculo - a morada de Deus - fique todo de uma só peça unida.
7 A sua cobertura será de mantas de pêlo de cabra. Terá de haver onze dessas cobertas, cada uma com 15 metros de comprimento por 2 de largura. Juntarás cinco delas, sobre uma secção da largura da tenda, e outras para a outra parte da largura de forma a que a sexta coberta caia, em forma de cortina, sobre a frente do tabernáculo. Emprega laçadas nas bainhas de cada uma destas duas grande peças para poder depois juntá-las com cinquenta colchetes de bronze. Assim ficará uma só grande coberta. Terão de ficar 50 centímetros desta cobertura caindo para o lado de trás da tenda e outro tanto para cada lado. Por cima desta peça será colocada uma coberta de peles de carneiro, tingida de vermelho, e sobre esta ainda uma outra de peles de cabra. E assim será a cobertura da tenda.
15 Toda a estrutura desta tenda sagrada será de madeira de acácia; cada tábua terá 5 metros de altura por 75 centímetros de largura, e será colocada ao alto, com uma ranhura numa extremidade para poder encaixar na tábua seguinte. O lado sul da tenda será formado por vinte destas tábuas, que ficarão assentes em quarenta bases de prata; cada tábua terá duas dessas bases. Do lado norte também haverá vinte tábuas, com as suas quarenta bases; duas bases sob cada tábua. Mas do lado ocidental serão apenas seis tábuas; em cada canto serão postas duas tábuas. Estas duas tábuas de canto estarão presas entre si por meio de argolas. Assim ao todo, haverá oito tábuas nos cantos da construção, com dezasseis bases de prata - duas bases para cada tábua.
26 Farás também barras de madeira de acácia que prendam as tábuas e fiquem atravessadas de um lado ao outro; cinco traves para cada lado do tabernáculo, assim como mais cinco para a retaguarda, do lado do ocidente. A barra do meio, que ficará a meia altura das tábuas, atrevessá-las-á de uma ponta a outra. As tábuas serão recobertas de ouro; as argolas por onde passarão as traves e que as suportarão serão feitas de ouro. As traves estarão igualmente revestidas de ouro.
30 Levantarás esta tenda-tabernáculo conforme o modelo que te mostrei no monte.
31 Depois farás um véu de azul, púrpura, vermelho, e de linho fino retorcido, com querubins bordados no tecido. Este véu ficará suspenso em quatro colunas de madeira de acácia, recobertas de ouro, por meio de quatro ganchos de ouro. Os pilares assentarão em quatro bases de prata. Colocarás a cortina nos ganchos e por detrás dela ficará a arca que contém as tábuas de pedra onde está gravada a lei de Deus. A cortina ficará assim a separar o lugar santo do lugar santíssimo.
34 A seguir instalarás o propiciatório - ou seja a tampa de ouro da arca - no lugar santíssimo. Põe a mesa do lado de fora do véu, diante dele, o castiçal ao lado da mesa, de forma a que esta fique do lado do norte do tabernáculo, em relação ao castiçal que ficará ao sul.
36 Farás também outra cortina para a entrada da tenda sagrada, artisticamente bordada com fino linho retorcido, azul, púrpura e vermelho. Suspende esta cortina em cinco postes revestido de ouro por meio de ganchos de ouro e uma base de bronze para cada poste.
1 Moreover you will make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skillful workman you will make them.
2 The length of each curtain will be eight and twenty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains will have one measure.
3 Five curtains will be coupled together one to another; and [the other] five curtains will be coupled one to another.
4 And you will make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise you will make in the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second coupling.
5 Fifty loops you will make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you will make in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling; the loops will be opposite one to another.
6 And you will make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tabernacle will be one [whole].
7 And you will make curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains you will make them.
8 The length of each curtain will be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains will have one measure.
9 And you will couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and will double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.
10 And you will make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outermost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joined in a second coupling.
11 And you will make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.
12 And the overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, will hang over the back of the tabernacle.
13 And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, will hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.
14 And you will make a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above.
15 And you will make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.
16 Ten cubits will be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board.
17 Two tenons there will be in each board, joined one to another: thus you will make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
18 And you will make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.
19 And you will make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
20 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,
21 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
22 And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward you will make six boards.
23 And two boards you will make for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part.
24 And they will be a pair at the bottom, but joined together at its top to one ring: thus it will be for them both; they will be for the two corners.
25 And there will be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
26 And you will make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
27 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the hinder part westward.
28 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards will pass through from end to end.
29 And you will overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and you will overlay the bars with gold.
30 And you will rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion of it which has been shown to you in the mount.
31 And you will make a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim the work of the skillful workman it will be made.
32 And you will hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks [will be] of gold, on four sockets of silver.
33 And you will hang up the veil under the clasps, and will bring in there inside the veil the ark of the testimony: and the veil will separate to you{+} between the holy place and the most holy.
34 And you will put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.
35 And you will set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand across from the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and you will put the table on the north side.
36 And you will make a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer.
37 And you will make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold: their hooks will be of gold: and you will cast five sockets of bronze for them.
