Bible Verses About Tabernacle

Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Lord, ADONAI.

ADONAI said to Moshe,

"Tell the people of Isra'el to take up a collection for me -accept a contribution from anyone who wholeheartedly wants to give.

The contribution you are to take from them is to consist of gold, silver and bronze;

blue, purple and scarlet yarn; fine linen, goat's hair,

tanned ram skins and fine leather; acacia-wood;

oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

onyx stones and other stones to be set, for the ritual vest and breastplate.

"They are to make me a sanctuary, so that I may live among them.

You are to make it according to everything I show you -the design of the tabernacle and the design of its furnishings. This is how you are to make it.

There I will meet with you. I will speak with you from above the ark-cover, from between the two k'ruvim which are on the ark for the testimony, about all the orders I am giving you for the people of Isra'el.

"You are to make the tabernacle with ten sheets of finely woven linen and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn. You are to make them with k'ruvim worked in, that have been crafted by a skilled artisan.

Each one is to be forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the sheets are to be the same size.

Five sheets are to be joined one to another, and the other five sheets are to be joined one to another.

Make loops of blue on the edge of the outermost sheet in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost sheet in the second set.

Make fifty loops on the one sheet, and make fifty loops on the edge of the sheet in the second set; the loops are to be opposite one another.

Make fifty fasteners of gold, and couple the sheets to each other with the fasteners, so that the tabernacle forms a single unit.

"You are to make sheets of goat's hair to be used as a tent covering the tabernacle; make eleven sheets.

Each sheet is to be forty-five feet long and six feet wide -all eleven sheets are to be the same size.

Join five sheets together and six sheets together, and fold the sixth sheet double at the front of the tent.

Make fifty loops on the edge of the outermost sheet in the first set and fifty loops on the edge of the outermost sheet in the second set.

Make fifty fasteners of bronze, put the fasteners in the loops, and join the tent together, so that it forms a single unit.

As for the overhanging part that remains of the sheets forming the tent, the half-sheet remaining is to hang over the back of the tabernacle;

and the eighteen inches on the one side and the eighteen inches on the other side of that remaining in the length of the sheets forming the tent is to hang over the tabernacle to cover it on each side.

"You are to make a covering for the tent of tanned ram skins and an outer covering of fine leather.
