"And there shall be eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one board and two bases under another board.

"Then you shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

"The middle bar in the center of the boards shall pass through from end to end.

"And you shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold as holders for the bars; and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

"Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to its plan which you have been shown on the mountain.

"You shall also make a veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer.

"Then you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks also of gold, on four bases of silver.

"You shall hang up the veil under the clasps, and bring in the ark of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall serve as a partition for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place.

"You shall put the atoning cover on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place.

"And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.

"You shall also make a curtain for the doorway of the tent of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver.

"And you shall make five pillars of acacia for the curtain and overlay them with gold, their hooks also of gold; and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.

"Now you shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits.

"You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.

"And you shall make its pails for removing its ashes, and its shovels, its basins, its forks, and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze.

"You shall also make for it a grating, a netting of bronze, and on the netting you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.

"And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar, so that the netting will reach halfway up the altar.

"You shall also make carrying poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood and overlay them with bronze.

"Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles will be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.

"You shall make it hollow with planks; as it was shown to you on the mountain, so they shall make it.
