The Tent of the Lord's Presence note
(Exodus 36.8–38)
1 “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.
31 “Make a curtain of fine linen
woven with blue, purple, and red
wool. Embroider it with figures of
winged creatures.
32 Hang it on four
posts of acacia wood covered with
gold, fitted with hooks, and set in
four silver bases.
33 Place the curtain
under the row of hooks in the roof of
the Tent, and put the Covenant Box
containing the two stone tablets behind
the curtain. The curtain will
separate the Holy Place from the
Most Holy Place. note
34 Put the lid on the
Covenant Box.
35 Outside the Most
Holy Place put the table against the
north side of the Tent and the lampstand
against the south side.
36 “For the entrance of the Tent
make a curtain of fine linen woven
with blue, purple, and red wool and
decorated with embroidery.
37 For
this curtain make five posts of
acacia wood covered with gold and
-- --
fitted with gold hooks; make five
bronze bases for these posts.
