Exodus 26 – The dwelling tent
shall be made of linen sheets of violet, purple and scarlet
yarn, with cherubim embroidered on the sheets. Each sheet shall be 28 cubits [length of forearm of a man]
high by 4 cubits wide. Five sheets
are to be sewed together and then another five sewed together. Along the edge of the end sheet there
should be loops of violet yarn (50 on each end sheet) and 50 clasps of gold to
join the sheets. On top of this
there is also to be another covering of woven goat hair (to protect from
weather?)—eleven of them (30 X 4) and sewed (5 to each side) The last one is to
double-cover the front. The loops
and clasps (of bronze on the outside) are to fasten the covering. Inside there are to be walls of acacia
wood (each piece of it 10 cubits X 1.5)—each one is to have “arms” to link it
to the next piece. They are to be
set up 20 boards to the south with two silver pedestals under each board; 20 on
the north side; 6 for the rear—to the west and double boards (2 each) for the
rear corners. Amazing detail!
The
veil, made of violet, purple and scarlet yarn
and fine linen with cherubim embroidered on it, is to be hung on 4 columns
which shall have hooks of gold and shall rest on four silver pedestals. They shall sit behind this veil (the
west? - side of the tent—the back).
The propitiatory shall rest on the ark behind the veil in the holy of
holies. The table (set on the
north side of the tent), lamp-stand (opposite it on the south side of the
tent), shall be outside the veil.
