~ The Tabernacle ~

"Set up the tabernacle
according to the plan shown you on the mountain.

"Make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn
and finely twisted linen,
with cherubim worked into it by a skilled craftsman.
Hang it with gold hooks
on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold
and standing on four silver bases.
Hang the curtain from the clasps
and place the ark of the Testimony behind the curtain.
The curtain will separate
the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.
Put the atonement cover
on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.
Place the table outside the curtain
on the north side of the tabernacle
and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.

"For the entrance to the tent
make a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn
and finely twisted linen --
the work of an embroiderer.
Make gold hooks for this curtain
and five posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold.
And cast five bronze bases for them.

(Exodus 26:31-37)
