And you are to make upright boards of hard wood for the House.

Every board is to be joined to the one nearest to it by two tongues, and so for every board in the House.

These are the boards needed for the house; twenty boards for the south side,

And twenty boards for the second side of the house on the north,

And six boards for the back of the House on the west,

With two boards for the angles of the House at the back.

And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the west side of the House at the back.

And the boards are to be plated with gold, having gold rings for the rods to go through: and the rods are to be plated with gold.

And outside the veil you are to put the table, and the support for the lights opposite the table on the south side of the House; and the table is to be on the north side.

And you are to make a curtain for the doorway of the Tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red.

And make five pillars for the curtain, of hard wood plated with gold; their hooks are to be of gold and their bases of brass

And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.
