¹ Boligen skal du lave af ti Tæpper af tvundet Byssus, violet og rødt Purpurgarn og karmoisinrødt Garn med Keruber på i Kunstvævning.

² Hvert Tæppe skal være otte og tyve Alen langt og fire Alen bredt; alle Tæpperne skal have samme Mål.

³ Tæpperne skal sys sammen, fem og fem.

⁴ I Kanten af det ene Tæppe, det yderste i det ene sammensyede Stykke, skal du sætte Løkker af violet Purpurgarn, og ligeledes skal du sætte Løkker i Kanten af det yderste Tæppe i det andet sammensyede Stykke;

⁵ du skal sætte halvtredsindstyve Løkker på det ene Tæppe og halvtredsindstyve Løkker i Kanten af det tilsvarende Tæppe i det andet sammensyede Stykke, Løkke lige over for Løkke.

⁶ Og du skal lave halvtredsindstyve Guldkroge til at forbinde Tæpperne med hinanden, så at Boligen udgør et Hele.

⁷ Fremdeles skal du lave Tæpper af Gedehår til et Teltdække uden om Boligen, og her skal du lave elleve Tæpper,

⁸ hvert Tæppe skal skal være tredive Alen langt og fire Alen bredt; alle Tæpperne skal have samme Mål.

⁹ Og du skal sy de fem af Tæpperne sammen for sig og de seks for sig; det sjette Tæppe, det, der kommer til at ligge over Teltets Forside, skal du lægge dobbelt.

¹⁰ Og du skal sætte halvtredsindstyve Løkker i Kanten af det yderste Tæppe i det ene sammensyede Stykke og halvtredsindstyve Løkker i Kanten af det tilsvarende Tæppe i det andet sammensyede Stykke.

¹¹ Og du skal lave halvtredsindstyve Kobberkroge og stikke dem i Løkkerne og sammenføje Teltdækket, så de udgør et Hele.

¹² Men hvad angår det overskydende af Teltdækkets Tæpper, skal Halvdelen deraf hænge ned over Boligens Bagside,

¹³ og den overskydende Alen på begge Sider af Telttæppernes Længder skal hænge ned over begge Boligens Sider for at dække den.

¹⁴ Fremdeles skal du lave et Dække over Teltdækket af rødfarvede Væderskind og derover endnu et Dække af Tahasjskind.

¹⁵ Fremdeles skal du lave Brædderne til Boligen af Akacietræ til at stå op,

¹⁶ hvert Bræt ti Alen højt og halvanden Alen bredt.

¹⁷ På hvert Bræt skal der være to indbyrdes forbundne Tapper; således skal du indrette det ved alle Boligens Brædder.

¹⁸ Af Brædderne, som du skal lave til Boligen, skal tyve være til Sydsiden,

¹⁹ og til de tyve Brædder skal du lave fyrretyve Fodstykker af Sølv, to Fodstykker til de to Tapper på hvert Bræt.

²⁰ Andre tyve Brædder skal laves til Boligens anden Side, som vender mod Nord,

²¹ med fyrretyve Fodstykker af Sølv, to Fodstykker til hvert Bræt.

²² Og til Bagsiden, der vendet mod Vest, skal du lave seks Brædder.

²³ Til Boligens Baghjørner skal du lave to Brædder,

²⁴ som skal bestå af to Stykker forneden og ligeledes af to Stykker foroven, indtil den første ing; således skal de begge indrettes for at danne de to Hjørner.

²⁵ Altså bliver der til Bagsiden otte Brædder med tilhørende seksten Fodstykker af Sølv, to til hvert Bræt.

²⁶ Og du skal lave Tværstænger af Alkacietræ, fem til de Brædder, der danner Boligens ene Side,

²⁷ fem til de Brædder, der danner Boligens anden Side, og fem til de Brædder, der danner Boligens Bagside mod Vest;

²⁸ den mellemste Tværstang midt på Brædderne skal nå fra den ene Ende af Væggen til den anden.

²⁹ Du skal overtrække Brædderne med Guld, og deres inge, som Tværstængerne skal stikkes i, skal du lave af Guld, og Tværstængerne skal du overtrække med Guld.

³⁰ Og du skal rejse Boligen på den Måde, som vises dig på Bjerget.

³¹ fremdeles skal du lave et Forhæng af violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus; det skal laves i Kunstvævning med Keruber på.

³² Du skal hænge det på fire Piller af Akacietræ, overtrukne med Guld og med Knager af Guld, på fire Fodstykker af Sølv;

³³ og du skal hænge Forhænget under Krogene og bringe Vidnesbyrdets Ark ind i ummet bag ved Forhænget, og Forhænget skal danne eder en Skillevæg mellem det Hellige og det Allerhelligste.

³⁴ Og Sonedækket skal du lægge over Vidnesbyrdets Ark i det Allerhelligste.

³⁵ Men Bordet skal du stille uden for Forhænget, og Lysestagen over for Bordet ved Boligens søndre Væg; Bordet skal du altså stille ved den nordre Væg.

³⁶ Fremdeles skal du lave et Forhæng til Teltets indgang af violet og rødt Purpurgarn, karmoisinrødt Garn og tvundet Byssus i broget Vævning;

³⁷ og til Forhænget skal du lave fem Piller af Akacietræ, som du skal overtrække med Guld, med Knager af Guld, og du skal støbe fem Fodstykker dertil af Kobber.

⁷ By the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion].

⁸ By the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in its midst.

⁹ The offering that you shall offer to Yahweh shall be twenty-five thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

¹⁰ For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand [in length], and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in its midst.

¹¹ [It shall be] for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn't go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

¹² It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

¹³ Answerable to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

¹⁴ They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yahweh.

¹⁵ The five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in its midst.

¹⁶ These shall be its measures: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

¹⁷ The city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred fifty, and toward the south two hundred fifty, and toward the east two hundred fifty, and toward the west two hundred fifty.

¹⁹ Those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

²⁰ All the offering shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall offer the holy offering foursquare, with the possession of the city.

²¹ The residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.

²² Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.

²⁹ This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord Yahweh.

³⁰ These are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure;

³¹ and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

³² At the east side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.
