“And you shall make a lampstand of clean gold – the lampstand is made of beaten work. Its base and its shaft, its cups, its ornamental knobs and blossoms are from it, and six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side; three cups made like almond flowers on one branch, with ornamental knob and blossom, and three cups made like almond flowers on the other branch, with ornamental knob and blossom – so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.
“And on the lampstand itself are four cups made like almond flowers, with ornamental knob and blossom, and a knob under the first two branches of the same, and a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches coming out of the lampstand.
“Their knobs and their branches are of the same – all of it one beaten work of clean gold.
“And you shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall mount its lamps so that they give light in front of it.
“And its snuffers and their trays are of clean gold.
“It is made of a talent of clean gold, with all these utensils.
“So see, and do according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.
“And make the Dwelling Place with ten curtains of fine woven linen and blue and purple and scarlet material. Make them, with keruḇim, the work of a skilled workman.
“The length of each curtain is twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, all the curtains having one measure.
“Five curtains are joined to each other, and five curtains are joined to each other.
“And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain on one set, and do the same on the edge of the end curtain of the second set.

“And you shall make fifty hooks of gold, and shall join the curtains together with the hooks, and the Dwelling Place shall be one.

“And you shall make fifty bronze hooks, and put the hooks into the loops, and join the tent together, and it shall be one.
“And the overlapping part of the rest of the curtains of the Tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the Dwelling Place.
“And a cubit on one side and a cubit on the other side, of what remains of the length of the curtains of the Tent, is to hang over the sides of the Dwelling Place, on this side and on that side, to cover it.
“And you shall make a covering of ram skins dyed red for the Tent, and a covering of fine leather above that.
