36-·-7

IO II I2 16 a proclamation in the camp to in- form every mam and womzm not to bring further nmteriai to offer for the sanctuary. S0 the people ceased to bringit, for the material was suffi- cient for all the appliances that had to be made, and in excess. S0 the workmen made the furni-

ture for the tent; Ten curtains of spun linen, and azure, and purple, and blue—red, with pictures of Keru· bim formed in damask. The length of the curtains was eighteen cubits each, and the width four cubits, each curtain ;—-the same to each curtain; and the end of one curtain was joined to the other, and the next curtain’s edge was joined to the following; for they made loops upon the selvage of each of the curtains at the end of the edges. Thus they made the curtains with attachments to join the two. They made fifty loops on each curtain ; and fifty loop attachments were made upon the second curtain which joined it to the next, opposite to the loops, one for one. They also made fifty hooks of gold to join the curtains one to the other, so as to form one tent. They also made curtains of goat-

skins for the canopy over the tent, which were divided into twenty cur- tains. The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits broad for each curtain; all the twenty curtains were made equal ; and they joined five of the curtains together, and six of the curtains together; and made fifty loops on the lip of a cur- tain, at its edge to fasten with, and made fifty loops upon the lip of the

18 second curtain for fastenings. They also made hooks of brass to join the canopy to form it into one piece.

ig Then they made the Hall of Assembly of red ram~skins, with a verandah of badger skins over all of it 20 2I 22 They also made the planks for the

tabernacle of acacia wood planed. The length of a plank was ten cnbits, and a cubit and a half broad, for each plank. There were two hands to each plank at the joinings on one side and the other. They made the same to all the planks of the taber- nacle, Twenty planks were made for the tabernacle on the side towards the south. And forty bases of silver were formed under the twenty planks; two bases under a. plank with two hands on them. And for the opposite side towards

the north, they made twenty planks, with forty bases of silver, two bases for each plank. But the width of the tabernacle to the west was six planks; and two planks made the corners of the tabernacle at the corners. And there were clutches fitting together and uniting them. Thus both were fastened at their edges. Thus there were eight planks, and sixteen silver bases, two bases, and two bases, under each plank. He also made bars of acacia wood, five bars for the planks at the first side of the taber- nacle; and five bars to the planks at the other side of the tabernacle, and tive bars to the planks of the taber- nacle at its length towards the west ; and bars were made for the uprights placed between the sets of planks from end to end. The planks, how- ever, were plated with gold, and their buttons were made of gold with lock- holes to each one, and the bars were plated with gold. The veils also were made of azure,

and purple, and blue—red, and spun linen, with damasked Kerubims worked on them. They also made four posts of acacia, and plated them with gold, with pins of gold, and cast for them four bases of silver. They also made a skreen for the door of the sanctuary of azure, and purple, and blue-red, and spun 1inen,worked as embroidery. And the five pillars and the pins, with the chapiters on 26 28 32 33 34 35 37 their heads, and the rods were of gold, but the live bars were of brass. Bezalal himself made the ark of·37 acacia wood. Its length two and a, half cubits, and its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a. half its height; and he plated with pure gold within and without, and made it a wreath of gold around; and cast four knobs of gold for its four feet; two knobs at the one side, and two knobs at the other side. He also made staves of ecacia wood and plated them with gold, so that they could put the stoves into the ears upon the sides of the ark to carry the ark by. He also made covers of pure gold,

two oubits and a. half in length amd a. cubit and 3. half in width. Besides he made two Kerubim of gold. They were made standing at the two ends of the covers; one kerub at this end, and the other at that. But the
