Exodus 26:18-34 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

18. Make the frames of the tabernacle as follows: twenty frames on the south side,

19. with forty silver pedestals under the twenty frames, two pedestals under each frame for its two arms;

20. twenty frames on the other side of the tabernacle, the north side,

21. with their forty silver pedestals, two pedestals under each frame.

22. At the rear of the tabernacle, to the west, six frames,

23. and two frames for the corners of the tabernacle, at its rear.

24. These two shall be double at the bottom, and likewise double at the top, to the first ring. That is how both corner frames are to be made.

25. Thus, there shall be eight frames, with their sixteen silver pedestals, two pedestals under each frame.

26. Also make bars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

27. five for those on the other side, and five for those at the rear, to the west.

28. The center bar, at the middle of the frames, shall reach across from end to end.

29. Plate the frames with gold, and make gold rings on them as holders for the bars, which are also to be plated with gold.

30. You shall set up the tabernacle according to its plan, which you were shown on the mountain.

31. You shall make a veil woven of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of fine linen twined, with cherubim embroidered on it.

32. It is to be hung on four gold-plated columns of acacia wood, which shall have gold hooks and shall rest on four silver pedestals.

33. Hang the veil from clasps. The ark of the covenant you shall bring inside, behind this veil which divides the holy place from the holy of holies.

34. Set the cover on the ark of the covenant in the holy of holies.
