You shall [then] make the mishkon (Tabernacle) out of ten drapes, [consisting of] fine twined linen, greenish blue, dark red and crimson [colored] [wool]. Figures of cherubim, the work of a craftsman, shall be woven into them.

Each drape shall be twenty eight amohs long, and each drape shall be four amohs wide. All the drapes shall have the same measure.

Five of these drapes shall be joined [sewn] together and [the other] five drapes shall be joined [sewn] together.

Make loops of greenish blue [wool] on the edge of the drape which is at the [innermost] end of the [first] group. Do the same on the edge of the drape which is at the [innermost] end of the second group.

Make fifty loops on [the edge of] one drape, and make fifty loops on the edge of the drape which is on the second group. The loops shall be opposite one another.

Make fifty golden clasps, and join the drapes [of each group] together with the clasps, so that the mishkon is one.

Make drapes of goats hair for a covering over the mishkon. Make eleven drapes.

The length of each drape shall be thirty amohs, and the width of each drape shall be four amohs. The eleven drapes must have the same measure.

Join [sew] together five drapes by themselves, and [the other] six drapes by themselves. Let the sixth drape overhang before the entrance of the tent [mishkon].

Make fifty loops on the edge of one drape which is at the [innermost] end of the [first] group, and fifty loops on the edge of the drape which is on the second group.

Make fifty copper clasps. Bring the clasps into the loops, and join the tent together, making it one.

The overlapping excess [from what is left over] [in the breadth] of the drapes of the tent—half of the extra drape shall overlap the back of the mishkon.

The [extra] amoh on one side, and the [extra] amoh on the other side that were in excess of the length of the drapes of the tent shall overlap the sides of the mishkon, on both sides, to cover it.

Make a covering for the tent out of red dyed ram’s skins, and a covering of tachash [multicolored] skins above that.

Make the planks for the mishkon out of acacia wood; [these planks are] to stand upright [vertically].

Each plank shall be ten amohs long, and one and one half amohs shall be the width of each plank.

Each plank shall have two [square] pegs, exactly parallel to each other. So shall you make all the planks of the mishkon.

Make these planks for the mishkon, twenty planks for the southern side.

Make forty silver sockets, [and place them] under the twenty planks. There shall be two sockets under one plank [one] for each of the two pegs, and two sockets under the other plank, [one] for each of the two pegs.

For the second wall of the mishkon, to the northern side, [also make] twenty planks.

[Make] their forty silver sockets, two sockets under each plank, two sockets under each plank.

For the west end of the mishkon make six planks.

Make two planks for the corners of the mishkon at the rear side [their ends].

They must be coupled together on the bottom, and they must also be coupled together evenly on the top with one [square] ring. So must it be done with the two [planks], which are at the two corners.

Thus there will be eight planks, and their silver sockets, totaling sixteen sockets, two sockets under each plank, two sockets under each plank.

You shall make bars out of acacia wood, five for the planks of one wall,

and five bars for the planks of the second wall of the mishkon. [There shall also be] five bars for the planks of the western [back] wall of the mishkon.

The middle [center] bar shall go through the planks, reinforcing the planks from one end to the other.

You shall overlay the planks with gold, and make their rings out of gold, to hold the bars. You shall [also] overlay the bars with gold.

You shall erect the mishkon according to its rules. As shown to you on the mountain.

You shall make a paroches [partition] out of greenish blue wool, dark red wool, crimson [colored] wool, and twined, fine linen. It shall be the work of a craftsman, with figures of cherubim [woven into it].

Place it [the paroches] upon four acacia-wood pillars, that are overlaid with gold. Their hooks shall [also] be of gold. These pillars are to be set into four silver sockets.

Place the paroches under the clasps [which kept the drapes together]. Bring into the space within [behind] the paroches, the Ark of the Testimony, and the paroches will divide for you between the Holy and the Holy of Holies.

Place the cover upon the Ark of the Testimony in the Holy of Holies.

Put the table outside the paroches, and the menorah opposite the table, toward the southern side of the mishkon. The table should be placed on the northern side.

You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent. [Make it out of] greenish blue wool, dark red wool, crimson [colored] wool, and twined, fine linen. It shall be the work of an embroiderer.

Make five pillars of acacia wood for the screen. Overlay them with gold and their hooks are to be gold. Cast five copper sockets for them [the pillars].
