Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent. 26:10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 26:11 Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit. 26:12 As for the additional length of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over is to hang down at the rear of the tabernacle. 26:13 The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it. 26:14 Make for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of hides of sea cows. 26:15 'Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 26:16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide, 26:17 with two projections set parallel to each other. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 26:18 Make twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 26:19 and make forty silver bases to go under them-two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 26:20 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, make twenty frames 26:21 and forty silver bases-two under each frame. 26:22 Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 26:23 and make two frames for the corners at the far end. 26:24 At these two corners they must be double from the bottom all the way to the top, and fitted into a single ring; both shall be like that. 26:25 So there will be eight frames and sixteen silver bases-two under each frame. 26:26 'Also make crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 26:27 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 26:28 The center crossbar is to extend from end to end at the middle of the frames. 26:29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold. 26:30 'Set up the tabernacle according to the plan shown you on the mountain. 26:31 'Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman. 26:32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. 26:33 Hang the curtain from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. 26:34 Put the atonement cover on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. 26:35 Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side. 26:36 'For the entrance to the tent make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen-the work of an embroiderer. 26:37 Make gold hooks for this curtain and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold. And cast five bronze bases for them.
