¹ And Abram returned from Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.

² And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.

³ And he went on his journeys from the south even to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Hai;

⁴ To the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

⁵ And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

⁶ And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.

⁷ And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

⁸ And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we are brethren.

⁹ Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou wilt depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

¹⁰ And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest to Zoar.

¹¹ Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

¹² Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent towards Sodom.

¹³ But the men of Sodom were wicked, and sinners before the LORD, exceedingly.

¹⁴ And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art, northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

¹⁵ For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

¹⁶ And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

¹⁷ Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it to thee.

¹⁸ Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar to the LORD.

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;
