Exodus 26:24-37 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

24. The 2 frames at each corner are to be joined together. Hold them together from bottom to top with a metal ring. Both corner frames must be made this way.

25. So there will be a total of 8 frames at the rear of the Tent. And there will be 16 silver bases—2 bases under each frame.

26. “Make crossbars of acacia wood to connect the upright frames of the Holy Tent. Make five crossbars to hold the frames together on one side.

27. Also make five crossbars to hold the frames together on the other side. And make crossbars to hold the frames together on the west end, at the rear.

28. The middle crossbar is to be set halfway up the frames. It is to run along the entire length of each side and rear.

29. Make gold rings on the sides of the frames. Pass the crossbars through the rings. Cover the frames and the crossbars with gold.

30. Set up the Holy Tent by the plan shown to you on the mountain.

31. “Make a curtain of fine linen and blue, purple and red thread. Have a skilled craftsman sew designs of creatures with wings on the curtain.

32. Hang the curtain by gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood. Cover these posts with gold and set them in four silver bases.

33. Hang the curtain from the hooks in the roof. Put the Ark of the Covenant containing the two flat stones behind the curtain. This curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34. Put the lid on the Ark of the Covenant in the Most Holy Place.

35. “Outside the curtain, put the table on the north side of the Holy Tent. And put the lampstand on the south side of the Holy Tent. This will be across from the table.

36. “Then make a curtain for the entrance of the Tent. Make it with fine linen and blue, purple and red thread. Someone who can sew well is to sew designs on it.

37. Make five posts of acacia wood covered with gold. Make five gold hooks on which to hang the curtain from the posts. And make five bronze bases for the five posts.
