Constructing the Tabernacle Framework

20

He made the upright planks of acacia-wood for the tabernacle.

21

Each plank was fifteen feet long and two-and-a-quarter feet wide.

22

There were two projections on each plank, and the planks were joined one to another. This is how he made all the planks for the tabernacle.

23

He made the planks for the tabernacle as follows: twenty planks for the south side, facing southward.

24

He made 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.

25

For the second side of the tabernacle, to the north, he made twenty planks

26

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

27

For the rear part of the tabernacle, toward the west, he made six planks.

28

For the corners of the tabernacle in the rear he made two planks,

29

double from the bottom all the way to the top but joined at a single ring. He did the same with both of them at the two corners.

30

Thus there were eight planks with their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each plank.

31

He made crossbars of acacia-wood, five for the planks of the one side of the tabernacle,

32

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.

33

He made the middle crossbar so that it extended from one end of the planks to the other, halfway up.

34

He overlaid the planks with gold, made gold rings for them through which the crossbars could pass and overlaid the crossbars with gold.
