1Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work shalt thou make them.26.1 of cunning…: Heb. the work of a cunning workman, or, embroiderer 2The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and every one of the curtains shall have one measure. 3The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. 4And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.26.4 selvedge: an edge of cloth so woven that it cannot unravel 5Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is in the coupling of the second; that the loops may take hold one of another. 6And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.
7¶ And thou shalt make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make. 8The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure. 9And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle. 10And thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second. 11And thou shalt make fifty taches of brass, and put the taches into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.26.11 tent: or, covering 12And the remnant that remaineth of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remaineth, shall hang over the backside of the tabernacle. 13And a cubit on the one side, and a cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, it shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.26.13 of that…: Heb. in the remainder, or, surplus 14And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers’ skins.
15¶ And thou shalt make boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood standing up. 16Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and a cubit and a half shall be the breadth of one board. 17Two tenons shall there be in one board, set in order one against another: thus shalt thou make for all the boards of the tabernacle.26.17 tenons: Heb. hands 18And thou shalt make the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards on the south side southward. 19And thou shalt make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.26.19 tenons: Heb. hands 20And for the second side of the tabernacle on the north side there shall be twenty boards: 21And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 22And for the sides of the tabernacle westward thou shalt make six boards. 23And two boards shalt thou make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. 24And they shall be coupled together beneath, and they shall be coupled together above the head of it unto one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.26.24 coupled: Heb. twinned 25And they shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
26¶ And thou shalt make bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 27And 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 two sides westward. 28And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall reach from end to end. 29And thou shalt overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars: and thou shalt overlay the bars with gold. 30And thou shalt rear up the tabernacle according to the fashion thereof which was shewed thee in the mount.
31¶ And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made: 32And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.
33¶ And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy. 34And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. 35And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side. 36And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework. 37And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.

幕屋
1-2上等の撚り糸で織った亜麻布十枚をつなぎ合わせ、神の天幕（幕屋）を作りなさい。布はそれぞれ長さ二十八キュビト（十二・三メートル）、幅四キュビト（一･七六メートル）でそろえる。青と紫と緋色の撚り糸を使い、全体にケルビム（天使の像）を織り出す。 3五枚ずつへりとへりをつなぎ合わせて、大きな布を二枚作り、幕屋の両側面とする。 4-5この二枚の端と端をつなぎ合わせるために、へりに青いループをつける。それぞれのへりに対になるよう五十ずつのループを作る。 6ほかにループをつなぐ五十個の留め金を金で作る。こうしてわたしの住まいである幕屋を一つに組み立てる。
7-8屋根の部分にはやぎの毛皮の防水布をかぶせる。それぞれ長さ三十キュビト（十三･二メートル）、幅四キュビトのものを十一枚用意する。 9このうち五枚をつなぎ合わせて幅広の幕にし、残りの六枚も、つないで一枚の幕にする。長いほうの六枚目に当たる部分は、上から垂らして、聖なる天幕の正面で折り重ねる。 10-11この二枚の幕をつなぎ合わせるために、それぞれのへりに五十個のループを作り、五十個の青銅の留め金を使って一枚にする。 12天幕のうしろは、屋根を覆う幕が一キュビト垂れ下がり、 13また、正面にも一キュビト垂れ下がる。 14この防水布の上に、赤く染めた雄羊のなめし皮を敷き、その上にじゅごんの皮をかける。これで屋根が完成する。
15-16幕屋のわく組みをアカシヤ材で作りなさい。それぞれ長さ十キュビト（四・四メートル）、幅一キュビト半の板を、まっすぐ立てて組み合わせる。 17側面にほぞ（はめ込み用の突起）を二つ作り、隣の板をはめ込む。 18-19こうして二十枚つなぎ合わせたものが、幕屋の南側になる。それぞれの板は銀の土台二個にはめ込む。板一枚につき二個ずつ、計四十個の銀の土台が必要となる。 20北側にも同じような板が二十枚、 21それぞれに二個ずつ、計四十個の銀の土台を使う。 22西側には六枚の板、 23そして両隅に二枚の板を使う。 24隅の板は下を重ね、上を環でつなぎ合わせる。 25最終的に、西側には板が八枚、銀の土台がそれぞれに二個ずつで、計十六個あることになる。
26-27アカシヤ材で横木を作り、わく組み全体に張り渡しなさい。両側面に五本ずつ、さらに西に面するうしろ側に五本、 28わくの真ん中になる中央の横木は、端から端まで通す。 29板に金をかぶせ、横木を通すために金の環を作る。横木にも金をかぶせる。 30この幕屋を、わたしが山で指示したとおりに建てなさい。
31〔幕屋の内側には〕青と紫と緋色の上等の撚り糸で織った亜麻布で垂れ幕を作り、それにケルビムを織り出しなさい。 32これをアカシヤ材の四本の柱の上から、金のかぎ四つを使って垂らす。柱には金をかぶせ、それぞれ銀の土台に立てる。 33幕はかぎから垂らし、その奥に、契約の箱を置きなさい。この幕が聖所と最も神聖な至聖所とを分ける。
34至聖所の箱には金のふたをし、『恵みの座』をしつらえなさい。 35幕の外の聖所に、テーブルと燭台を向かい合わせに置く。燭台は南側、テーブルは北側である。
36幕屋の入口にかける垂れ幕を、もう一枚作りなさい。青と紫と緋色の上等の撚り糸と、撚り糸で織った亜麻布で作り、精巧な刺しゅうを施す。 37その幕を五本のアカシヤ材の柱から、金のかぎを使って垂らす。柱には金をかぶせ、青銅の土台に立てる。
