The Frame of Shittim Wood

15

"Make the upright planks for the tabernacle out of acacia-wood.

16

Each plank is to be fifteen feet long and two-and-a-quarter feet wide.

17

There are to be two projections on each plank, and the planks are to be joined one to another. That is how you are to make all the planks for the tabernacle.

18

"Make the planks for the tabernacle as follows: twenty planks for the south side, facing southward.

19

Make forty silver sockets under the twenty planks, two sockets under one plank for its two projections and two sockets under another plank for its two projections.

20

"For the second side of the tabernacle, to the north, make twenty planks

21

and their forty silver sockets, two sockets under one plank and two under another.

22

"For the rear part of the tabernacle, toward the west, make six planks.

23

For the corners of the tabernacle in the rear, make two planks;

24

these are to be double from the bottom all the way to the top but joined at a single ring. Do the same with both of them; they are to form the two corners.

25

Thus there will be eight planks with their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets under one plank and two under another.

26

"Make crossbars of acacia-wood, five for the planks of the one side of the tabernacle,

27

five crossbars for the planks of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the planks at the side of the tabernacle at the rear toward the west.

28

The middle crossbar, halfway up the planks, is to extend from end to end.

29

Overlay the planks with gold, make gold rings for them through which the crossbars will pass, and overlay the crossbars with gold.

30

"You are to erect the tabernacle according to the design you have been shown on the mountain.
