27 over-against the border are the rings for places for staves to bear the table; 28 and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with them; 29 and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold thou dost make them; 30 and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence before Me continually. 31 `And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same; 32 and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the second side;

`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;

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.
