as a covering for the iirst tent. Make eleven curtains of them. The length of the first curtain to be thirty cubits, and the breadth four cubits. Make each one of the eleven curtains the same. Then join five of the curtains together, and six curtains together, for the doublings of the sixth curtain in the front of the tent. You shall also make fifty loops upon the edge of the first curtain, upon the selvage at the juncture; and fifty loops upon the edge of the second curtain. And make hooks for the loops and unite them for the pavilion and let it be one. But part of the curtains must hang down from the roof of the pavilion; half the curtains of the roof you shall hang over the back part of the tent, with a cubit on this side, and a cubit on that side, for the fold in the length of the curtains of the pavilion shall hang down over the sides of the tent on this side, and that side, to conceal it. You shall in addition, make a covering to the tent of red ram skins; and a cover- ing of skins of badgers all over it. ‘ You also make the boards of the
Sanctuary of acacia wood, planed; ten cubits the length of each board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each plank. You shall set clasps upon the first plank at the edges of each of its counterparts. You shall do the same to all the planks of the Sanctuary. And make the planks for the Sanctuary twenty planks for the face to the right ; with forty sockets of silver to tix under the twenty planks. Two sockets under each plank to fix the clutches into. ‘ And upon the second side of the
Sanctuary, to face the north, twenty planks, and forty sockets of silver, two sockets under each plank, and two clutches under each plank. ‘ And to the breadth of the Sanc-
tuary, westward, you shall make six planks, with two planks made for a corner of the Sanctuary at its lengths. And there shall be rings to fasten them: for the one shall have a. ring on the top of it, to meet the ring of the other. This shall be for the two corners: that is eight planks, with their sockets of silver; sixteen sockets; two sockets for each plank. ‘ Make also cross-bars of acacia wood, live to a plank at one side of the Sanctuary; and five cross-bars for the second side of the Sanctuary; and live cross—bars to the planks at the side of the Sanctuary stretching west; and fix the cross—bars in the middle of the planks, with bolts from one junction to the other junction. And overlay the planks and their rings with gold. Make also of gold, restslfor the cross-bars, and plate the cross-bars with gold. And erect the Sanctuary according to the plan I showed you in the mount. ‘ Make besides a veil of azure, and
purple and blue, and red, and twisted linen. Ornament it with an em- broidery of kerubim, and place it upon four supports of acacia, over- layed with gold, with pins of gold, upon four sockets of silver. And hang the veil below the hooks, and bring there, within the veil to the Holy of Holies, the Ark of the Witnesses. Then put the covers upon the ark in the Holy of Holies. And place the table outside the veil, and put the lamp upon the table at the south side of the Sanctuary, and place the table towards the north side. ‘ Then make a skreen for the door
of the tent ; of azure and purple, and blue, and have it embroidered with spun flax. Also make five standards of acacia for the skreen, and plate them with gold, and have pins of gold, and cast for them Eve sockets of brass. 32 33 34 35 37
‘ Make besides an altar of acacia 27 wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad. The altar shall be square, and its height three cubits. And make horns to it upon its four sides. The horns shall project from it. You shall also sheathe it in brass. And make buckets for the ashes, and shovels, and brushes, and tongs. Make all its instruments of brass. Make also a net likea lattice of brass, and form on the network four pro- jections of brass, on its four corners, and fix it below the fire-place of the altar by its projections, so that the grating may be in the centre of the altar. ‘Make also staves for the altar,
staves of aoacia wood, and plate them with brass; so that the staves may go into projections, and let the staves be upon the two sides of the altar, to carry it by. Make it with hollow panels such as were shown to you in 79
