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.

¹ "Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yahweh has commanded."

² Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:

³ and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.

⁴ All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.

⁵ They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."

⁶ Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing.

⁷ For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

⁸ All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made them.

⁹ The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.

¹⁰ He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

¹¹ He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.

¹² He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite one to another.

¹³ He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.

¹⁴ He made curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.

¹⁵ The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.

¹⁶ He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

¹⁷ He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.

¹⁸ He made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.

¹⁹ He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

²⁰ He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

²¹ Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.

²² Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.

²³ He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.

²⁴ He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

²⁵ For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,

²⁶ and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

²⁷ For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

²⁸ He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

²⁹ They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did thus to both of them in the two corners.

³⁰ There were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.

³¹ He made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

³² and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.

³³ He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.

³⁴ He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

³⁵ He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.

³⁶ He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.

³⁷ He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

³⁸ and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of brass.
