• Exod 26:1-9 : 1 `And thou dost make the tabernacle: ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet; `with' cherubs, work of a designer, thou dost make them; 2 the length of the one curtain `is' eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit, one measure `is' to all the curtains; 3 five of the curtains are joining one unto another, and five curtains are joining one to another. 4 `And thou hast made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the joining; and so thou makest in the edge of the outermost curtain, in the joining of the second. 5 fifty loops thou dost make in the one curtain, and fifty loops thou dost make in the edge of the curtain which `is' in the joining of the second, causing the loops to take hold one unto another; 6 and thou hast made fifty hooks of gold, and hast joined the curtains one to another by the hooks, and the tabernacle hath been one. 7 `And thou hast made curtains of goats' `hair', for a tent over the tabernacle; thou dost make eleven curtains: 8 the length of the one curtain `is' thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit; one measure `is' to the eleven curtains; 9 and thou hast joined the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart, and hast doubled the six curtains over-against the front of the tent. 10 `And thou hast made fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain, the outermost in the joining, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second; 11 and thou hast made fifty hooks of brass, and hast brought in the hooks into the loops, and hast joined the tent, and it hath been one. 12 `And the superfluity in the curtains of the tent -- the half of the curtain which is superfluous -- hath spread over the hinder part of the tabernacle; 13 and the cubit on this side, and the cubit on that, in the superfluity in the length of the curtains of the tent, is spread out over the sides of the tabernacle, on this and on that, to cover it; 14 and thou hast made a covering for the tent, of rams' skins made red, and a covering of badgers' skins above. 15 `And thou hast made the boards for the tabernacle, of shittim wood, standing up; 16 ten cubits `is' the length of the board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the one board; 17 two handles `are' to the one board, joined one unto another; so thou dost make for all the boards of the tabernacle; 18 and thou hast made the boards of the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward; 19 and forty sockets of silver thou dost make under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles. 20 `And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side, `are' twenty boards, 21 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board. 22 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward, thou dost make six boards. 23 And two boards thou dost make for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. 24 And they are pairs beneath, and together they are pairs above its head unto the one ring; so is it for them both, they are for the two corners. 25 And they have been eight boards, and their sockets of silver `are' sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under another board. 26 `And thou hast made bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 27 and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle at the two sides, westward; 28 and one hath caused the middle bar in the midst of the boards to reach from end unto end; 29 and the boards thou dost overlay `with' gold, and their rings thou dost make of gold places for bars, and hast overlaid their bars with gold; 30 and thou hast raised up the tabernacle according to its fashion which thou hast been shewn in the mount. 31 `And thou hast made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer; he maketh it `with' cherubs; 32 and thou hast put it on four pillars of shittim wood, overlaid `with' gold, their pegs `are' of gold, on four sockets of silver. 33 `And thou hast put the vail under the hooks, and hast brought in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony; and the vail hath made a separation for you between the holy and the holy of holies. 34 `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark of the testimony, in the holy of holies. 35 `And thou hast set the table at the outside of the vail, and the candlestick over-against the table on the side of the tabernacle southward, and the table thou dost put on the north side. 36 `And thou hast made a covering for the opening of the tent, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer; 37 and thou hast made for the covering five pillars of shittim `wood', and hast overlaid them `with' gold, their pegs `are' of gold, and thou hast cast for them five sockets of brass.

2 in visions of God He hath brought me in unto the land of Israel, and causeth me to rest on a very high mountain, and upon it `is' as the frame of a city on the south. 3 And He bringeth me in thither, and lo, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate, 4 and the man speaketh unto me: `Son of man, see with thine eyes, And with thine ears hear, And set thy heart to all that I am shewing thee, For, in order to shew `it' thee, Thou hast been brought in hither, Declare all that thou art seeing to the house of Israel.' 5 And lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about, and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth the breadth of the building one reed, and the height one reed. 6 And he cometh in unto the gate whose front `is' eastward, and he goeth up by its steps, and he measureth the threshold of the gate one reed broad, even the one threshold one reed broad, 7 and the little chamber one reed long and one reed broad, and between the little chambers five cubits, and the threshold of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from within, one reed. 8 And he measureth the porch of the gate from within one reed, 9 and he measureth the porch of the gate eight cubits, and its posts two cubits, and the porch of the gates from within, 10 and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on this side, and three on that side; one measure `is' to them three, and one measure `is' to the posts, on this side and on that side. 11 And he measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits; 12 and a border before the little chambers, one cubit, and one cubit `is' the border on this side, and the little chamber `is' six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. 13 And he measureth the gate from the roof of the `one' little chamber to the roof of another;

16 and narrow windows `are' unto the little chambers, and unto their posts at the inside of the gate all round about -- and so to the arches -- and windows all round about `are' at the inside, and at the post `are' palm-trees. 17 And he bringeth me in unto the outer court, and lo, chambers and a pavement made for the court all round about -- thirty chambers on the pavement -- 18 and the pavement unto the side of the gates over-against the length of the gates `is' the lower pavement; 19 and he measureth the breadth from before the lower gate, to the front of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred cubits, eastward and northward. 20 As to the gate of the outer court whose front `is' northward, he hath measured its length and its breadth; 21 and its little chambers, three on this side, and three on that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits its length, and the breadth five and twenty by the cubit;

and he measureth from gate unto gate, a hundred cubits. 24 And he causeth me to go southward, and lo, a gate southward, and he hath measured its posts and its arches according to these measures; 25 and windows `are' to it and to its arches all round about, like these windows, fifty cubits the length, and the breadth five and twenty cubits; 26 and seven steps `are' its ascent, and its arches `are' before them, and palm-trees `are' to it, one on this side, and one on that side, at its posts; 27 and the gate of the inner court `is' southward, and he measureth from gate unto gate southward, a hundred cubits. 28 And he bringeth me in unto the inner court by the south gate, and he measureth the south gate according to these measures; 29 and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches `are' according to these measures, and windows `are' to it and to its arches all round about; fifty cubits the length, and the breadth twenty and five cubits. 30 As to the arches all round about, the length `is' five and twenty cubits, and the breadth five cubits; 31 and its arches `are' unto the outer court, and palm-trees `are' unto its posts, and eight steps `are' its ascent. 32 And he bringeth me in unto the inner court eastward, and he measureth the gate according to these measures; 33 and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches `are' according to these measures: and windows `are' to it and to its arches all round about, the length fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits; 34 and its arches `are' toward the outer court, and palm-trees `are' toward its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight steps `are' its ascent. 35 And he bringeth me in unto the north gate, and hath measured according to these measures;

40 and at the side without, at the going up to the opening of the north gate, `are' two tables; and at the other side that `is' at the porch of the gate, `are' two tables; 41 four tables `are' on this side, and four tables on that side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughter. 42 And the four tables for burnt-offering `are' of hewn stone: the length one cubit and a half, and the breadth one cubit and a half, and the height one cubit: on them they place the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt-offering and the sacrifice.
