The Tent of the Lord's Presence^{[a] (A)}

26 “Make the interior of the sacred Tent, the Tent of my presence, out of ten pieces of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool. Embroider them with figures of winged creatures. ² Make each piece the same size, 14 yards long and 2 yards wide. ³ Sew five of them together in one set, and do the same with the other five. ⁴ Make loops of blue cloth on the edge of the outside piece in each set. ⁵ Put fifty loops on the first piece of the first set and fifty loops matching them on the last piece of the second set. ⁶ Make fifty gold hooks with which to join the two sets into one piece.

⁷ “Make a cover for the Tent out of eleven pieces of cloth made of goats' hair. ⁸ Make them all the same size, 15 yards long and 2 yards wide. ⁹ Sew five of them together in one set, and the other six in another set. Fold the sixth piece double over the front of the Tent. ¹⁰ Put fifty loops on the edge of the last piece of one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other set. ¹¹ Make fifty bronze hooks and put them in the loops to join the two sets so as to form one cover. ¹² Hang the extra half piece over the back of the Tent. ¹³ The extra half yard on each side of the length is to hang over the sides of the Tent to cover it.

¹⁴ “Make two more coverings, one of rams' skin dyed red and the other of fine leather, to serve as the outer cover.

¹⁵ “Make upright frames for the Tent out of acacia wood. ¹⁶ Each frame is to be 15 feet long and 27 inches wide, ¹⁷ with two matching projections, so that the frames can be joined together. All the frames are to have these projections. ¹⁸ Make twenty frames for the south side ¹⁹ and forty silver bases to go under them, two bases under each frame to hold its two projections. ²⁰ Make twenty frames for the north side of the Tent ²¹ and forty silver bases, two under each frame. ²² For the back of the Tent on the west, make six frames, ²³ and two frames for the corners. ²⁴ These corner frames are to be joined at the bottom and connected all the way to the top. The two frames that form the two corners are to be made in this way. ²⁵ So there will be eight frames with their sixteen silver bases, two under each frame.

²⁶ “Make fifteen crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the Tent, ²⁷ five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west end, at the back. ²⁸ The middle crossbar, set halfway up the frames, is to extend from one end of the Tent to the other. ²⁹ Cover the frames with gold and fit them with gold rings to hold the crossbars, which are also to be covered with gold. ³⁰ Set up the Tent according to the plan that I showed you on the mountain.

^2 (A)A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God.

The Lampstand^(A)

³¹ “Make a lampstand of pure gold. Make its base and its shaft of hammered gold; its decorative flowers, including buds and petals, are to form one piece with it. ³² Six branches shall extend from its sides, three from each side. ³³ Each of the six branches is to have three decorative flowers shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals. ³⁴ The shaft of the lampstand is to have four decorative flowers shaped like almond blossoms with buds and petals. ³⁵ There is to be one bud below each of the three pairs of branches. ³⁶ The buds, the branches, and the lampstand are to be a single piece of pure hammered gold. ³⁷ Make seven lamps for the lampstand and set them up so that they shine toward the front. ³⁸ Make its tongs and trays of pure gold. ³⁹ Use seventy-five pounds of pure gold to make the lampstand and all this equipment. ^40 (B)Take care to make them according to the plan that I showed you on the mountain.

^2 (A)A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God.

The Table for the Bread Offered to God^(A)

²³ “Make a table out of acacia wood, 36 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 27 inches high. ²⁴ Cover it with pure gold and put a gold border around it. ²⁵ Make a rim 3 inches wide around it and a gold border around the rim. ²⁶ Make four carrying rings of gold for it and put them at the four corners, where the legs are. ²⁷ The rings to hold the poles for carrying the table are to be placed near the rim. ²⁸ Make the poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold. ²⁹ Make plates, cups, jars, and bowls to be used for the wine offerings. All of these are to be made of pure gold. ^30 (B)The table is to be placed in front of the Covenant Box, and on the table there is always to be the sacred bread offered to me.
