Thus shall it be with both of them; they shall form the two corners. 25 (P) And there shall be eight frames, with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one frame, and two bases under another frame.
26 (P) "You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle, 27 (P) and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward. 28 (P) The middle bar, halfway up the frames, shall run from end to end. 29 (P) You shall overlay the frames with gold and shall make their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold. 30 (P) Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain.
31 (P) "And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it. 32 (P) And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver. 33 (P) And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy. 34 (P) You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 (P) And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side.
