Exodus 26:1-37

The Holy Tent

1“Make ten curtains out of finely twisted linen for the holy tent. Make them with blue, purple and bright red yarn. Have a skilled worker sew cherubim into the pattern. 2Make all the curtains the same size. They must be 42 feet long and six feet wide. 3Join five of the curtains together. Do the same thing with the other five. 4Make loops out of blue strips of cloth along the edge of the end curtain in one set. Do the same thing with the end curtain in the other set. 5Make 50 loops on the end curtain of the one set. Do the same thing on the end curtain of the other set. Put the loops across from each other. 6Make 50 gold hooks. Use them to join the curtains together so that the holy tent is all one piece.

7“Make a total of 11 curtains out of goat hair to put over the holy tent. 8Make all 11 curtains the same size. They must be 45 feet long and six feet wide. 9Join five of the curtains together into one set. Do the same thing with the other six. Fold the sixth curtain in half at the front of the tent. 10Make 50 loops along the edge of the end curtain in the one set. Do the same thing with the other set. 11Then make 50 bronze hooks. Put them in the loops to join the tent together all in one piece. 12Let the extra half curtain hang down at the rear of the holy tent. 13The tent curtains will be 18 inches longer on both sides. What is left over will hang over the sides of the holy tent and cover it. 14Make a covering for the tent. Make it out of ram skins that are dyed red. Put a covering of the other strong leather over that.

15“Make frames out of acacia wood for the holy tent. 16Make each frame 15 feet long and two feet three inches wide. 17Add two small wooden pins to each frame. Make the pins stick out so that they are even with each other. Make all the frames for the holy tent in the same way. 18Make 20 frames for the south side of the holy tent. 19And make 40 silver bases to go under them. Make two bases for each frame. Put one under each pin that sticks out. 20For the north side of the holy tent make 20 frames 21and 40 silver bases. Put two bases under each frame. 22Make six frames for the west end of the holy tent. 23Make two frames for the corners at the far end. 24At those two corners the frames must be double from top to bottom. They must be fitted into a single ring. Make both of them the same. 25There will be eight frames and 16 silver bases. There will be two bases under each frame.

26“Also make crossbars out of acacia wood. Make five for the frames on one side of the holy tent. 27Make five for the frames on the other side. And make five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the holy tent. 28The center crossbar must reach from end to end at the middle of the frames. 29Cover the frames with gold. Make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also cover the crossbars with gold.

30“Set up the holy tent in keeping with the plan I showed you on the mountain.

31“Make a curtain out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. Have a skilled worker sew cherubim into the pattern. 32Hang the curtain with gold hooks on four posts that are made out of acacia wood. Cover the posts with gold. Stand them on four silver bases. 33Hang the curtain from the hooks. Place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Room from the Most Holy Room. 34Put the cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Room. The cover will be the place where sin is paid for. 35Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the holy tent. And put the lampstand across from it on the south side.

36“Make a curtain for the entrance to the tent. Make it out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. Have a person who sews skillfully make it. 37Make gold hooks for the curtain. Make five posts out of acacia wood. Cover them with gold. And make five bronze bases for them.

圣幕的做法

1“要用十幅幔子造圣幕,这些幔子要用细麻线和蓝、紫、朱红三种颜色的毛线织成,还要用精致的手工绣上基路伯天使。 2每幅幔子的尺寸都一样,长十二米、宽两米。 3每五幅连在一起,形成两幅大幔子。 4要在每幅大幔子边缘钉上蓝色的扣环, 5每幅大幔子钉五十个,扣环要两两相对, 6再做五十个金钩,把两幅大幔子连在一起,成为圣幕。

7“要用山羊毛织十一幅幔子作圣幕的罩棚, 8每幅长十三米、宽两米。十一幅幔子的尺寸都要一样。 9然后,你们要把五幅连成一大幅,其余六幅连成一大幅,第六幅要在圣幕前叠起来。 10要在这两幅幔子的边缘各钉上五十个扣环, 11再做五十个铜钩,把这两幅大幔子扣在一起,成为一个完整的罩棚。 12铺罩棚所剩下来的半幅幔子要垂到圣幕后面。 13两旁余下的幔子可垂在圣幕的两边,每边长五十厘米,盖着圣幕。 14罩棚上面要盖一层染成红色的公羊皮,再盖一层海狗皮做顶盖。

15“要用皂荚木做支撑圣幕的木板, 16每块木板长四米,宽六十六厘米。 17每块木板要有两个接榫,好连接在一起。圣幕的所有木板都要这样。 18圣幕的南面要有二十块木板, 19在这些木板下面要造四十个带凹槽的银底座,每块木板下面两个,用来套在木板的两个接榫上。 20圣幕北面也要有二十块木板, 21这些木板下面也要装上四十个带凹槽的银底座,每块木板下面有两个银底座。 22圣幕后面,就是西面,要有六块木板。 23圣幕后面的两个拐角要各有两块木板, 24木板的下端连于底座26:24 连于底座”或译“是双层的”。,顶端用一个环固定。两个拐角都要这样做。 25这样,两端便共有八块木板,每块木板下面各有两个带凹槽的银底座,一共有十六个银底座。

26-27“要用皂荚木做横闩,圣幕左右两边及后面的墙板上要各有五根横闩, 28拦腰固定墙板的那根横闩要从这端贯穿到那端。 29所有的木板和横闩都要包上金,并要在木板上造金环,用来穿横闩。 30要照着我在山上所指示你的样式,把圣幕支搭起来。

造至圣所的条例

31“要用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线织成一幅幔子,上面用精致的手工绣上基路伯天使。 32要把这幅幔子挂在四根包金的皂荚木柱上,木柱上面有金钩,木柱立在四个带凹槽的银底座上面。 33要把整幅幔子挂在木柱的金钩上,把约柜抬进幔子里。这幔子把圣幕分为两个部分,幔子里面是至圣所,外面是圣所。 34要把施恩座放在至圣所里面的约柜上。 35桌子要放在幔子的外面、圣所的北面,灯台放在南面,跟桌子相对。 36要用细麻线和蓝色、紫色、朱红色的线绣制圣幕的门帘。 37要用皂荚木做五根挂门帘的柱子,柱子包上金,上面要有金钩,并要为柱子造五个带凹槽的铜底座。
