Exodus 26:15-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

15. Make acacia-wood boards to stand upright as a frame for the dwelling.

16. Each board will be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.

17. Put two pegs on each board for joining them to each other. Do this for all the dwelling’s boards.

18. Make twenty boards for the dwelling’s southern side.

19. Then make forty silver bases to go under the twenty boards. There will be two bases under the first board for its two pegs, two bases under the next board for its two pegs, and so on.

20. For the dwelling’s other side on the north, make twenty boards

21. and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.

22. For the back of the dwelling on the west, make six boards.

23. Make two additional boards for the dwelling’s rear corners.

24. They should be spread out at the bottom but joined together at the top with one ring. In this way, these two boards will form the two corners.

25. And so there will be eight boards with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.

26. You should also make acacia-wood bars: five for the boards on one side of the dwelling,

27. five bars for the boards on the other side of the dwelling, and five bars for the boards on the back wall of the dwelling on the west.

28. The middle bar, halfway up the boards, should run from one end to the other.
