Greek Septuagint
1 Καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν ποιήσεις, δέκα αὐλαίας ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης, καὶ ὑακίνθου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου χερουβὶμ· ἐργασίᾳ ὑφάντου ποιήσεις αὐτάς.
2 Μῆκος τῆς αὐλαίας τῆς μιᾶς ὀκτὼ καὶ εἴκοσι πήχεων, καὶ εὖρος τεσσάρων πήχεων ἡ αὐλαία ἡ μία ἔσται· μέτρον τὸ αὐτὸ ἔσται πάσαις ταῖς αὐλαίαις.
3 Πέντε δὲ αὐλαῖαι ἔσονται ἐξ ἀλλήλων ἐχόμεναι ἡ ἑτέρα ἐκ τῆς ἑτέρας· καὶ πέντε αὐλαῖαι ἔσονται συνεχόμεναι ἑτέρα τῇ ἑτέρᾳ.
4 Καὶ ποιήσεις αὐταῖς ἀγκύλας ὑακινθίνας ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς αὐλαίας τῆς μιᾶς, ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς μέρους εἰς τὴν συμβολήν· καὶ οὕτω ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς αὐλαίας τῆς ἐξωτέρας πρὸς τῇ συμβολῇ τῇ δευτέρᾳ.
5 Πεντήκοντα ἀγκύλας ποιήσεις τῇ αὐλαίᾳ τῇ μιᾷ, καὶ πεντήκοντα ἀγκύλας ποιήσεις ἐκ τοῦ μέρους τῆς αὐλαίας κατὰ τὴν συμβολὴν τῆς δευτέρας, ἀντιπρόσωποι ἀντιπίπτουσαι ἀλλήλαις εἰς ἑκάστην.
6 Καὶ ποιήσεις κρίκους πεντήκοντα χρυσοῦς· καὶ συνάψεις τὰς αὐλαίας ἑτέραν τῇ ἑτέρα τοῖς κρίκοις· καὶ ἔσται ἡ σκηνὴ μία.
7 Καὶ ποιήσεις δέῤῥεις τριχίνας σκέπην ἐπὶ τῆς σκηνῆς, ἕνδεκα δέῤῥεις ποιήσεις αὐτάς.
8 Τὸ μῆκος τῆς δέῤῥεως τῆς μιᾶς, τριάκοντα πήχεων, καὶ τεσσάρων πήχεων τὸ εὖρος τῆς δέῤῥεως τῆς μιᾶς· τὸ αὐτὸ μέτρον ἔσται ταῖς ἕνδεκα δέῤῥεσι.
9 Καὶ συνάψεις τὰς πέντε δέῤῥεις ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ, καὶ τὰς ἓξ δέῤῥεις ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό· καὶ ἐπιδιπλώσεις τὴν δέῤῥιν τὴν ἕκτην κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς σκηνῆς.
10 Καὶ ποιήσεις ἀγκύλας πεντήκοντα ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς δέῤῥεως τῆς μιᾶς, τῆς ἀναμέσον κατὰ συμβολήν· καὶ πεντήκοντα ἀγκύλας ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τοῦ χείλους τῆς δέῤῥεως, τῆς συναπτούσης τῆς δευτέρας.
11 Καὶ ποιήσεις κρίκους χαλκοῦς πεντήκοντα· καὶ συνάψεις τοὺς κρίκους ἐκ τῶν ἀγκυλῶν, καὶ συνάψεις τὰς δέῤῥεις, καὶ ἔσται ἕν.
12 Καὶ ὑποθήσεις τὸ πλεονάζον ἐν ταῖς δέῤῥεσι τῆς σκηνῆς· τὸ ἥμισυ τῆς δέῤῥεως τὸ ὑπολελειμμένον ὑποκαλύψεις εἰς τὸ πλεονάζον τῶν δέῤῥεων τῆς σκηνῆς, ὑποκαλύψεις ὀπίσω τῆς σκηνῆς.
13 Πῆχυν ἐκ τούτου, καὶ πῆχυν ἐκ τούτου, ἐκ τοῦ ὑπερέχοντος τῶν δέῤῥεων, ἐκ τοῦ μήκους τῶν δέῤῥεων τῆς σκηνῆς· ἔσται συγκαλύπτον ἐπὶ τὰ πλάγια τῆς σκηνῆς ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν, ἵνα καλύπτῃ.
14 Καὶ ποιήσεις κατακάλυμμα τῇ σκηνῇ δέρματα κριῶν ἠρυθροδανωμένα, καὶ ἐπικαλύμματα δέρματα ὑακίνθινα ἐπάνωθεν.
15 Καὶ ποιήσεις στύλους τῆς σκηνῆς ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων.
16 Δέκα πήχεων ποιήσεις τὸν στύλον τὸν ἕνα, καὶ πήχεως ἑνὸς καὶ ἡμίσους τὸ πλάτος τοῦ στύλου τοῦ ἑνός.
17 Δύο ἀγκωνίσκους τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ, ἀντιπίπτοντας ἕτερον τῷ ἑτέρῳ· οὕτω ποιήσεις πᾶσι τοῖς στύλοις τῆς σκηνῆς.
18 Καὶ ποιήσεις στύλους τῇ σκηνῇ, εἴκοσι στύλους ἐκ τοῦ κλίτους τοῦ πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν.
19 Καὶ τεσσαράκοντα βάσεις ἀργυρᾶς ποιήσεις τοῖς εἴκοσι στύλοις· δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ· και δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφοτέρα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ.
20 Καὶ τὸ κλίτος τὸ δεύτερον τὸ πρὸς Νότον, εἴκοσι στύλους,
21 καὶ τεσσαράκοντα βάσεις αὐτῶν ἀργυρᾶς· δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ, καὶ δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ.
22 Καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀπίσω τῆς σκηνῆς κατὰ τὸ μέρος τὸ πρὸς θάλασσαν ποιήσεις ἓξ στύλους.
23 Καὶ δύο στύλους ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τῶν γωνιῶν τῆς σκηνῆς ἐκ τῶν ὀπισθίων.
24 Καὶ ἔσται ἐξ ἴσου κάτωθεν· κατὰ τὸ αὐτὸ ἔσονται ἴσοι ἐκ τῶν κεφαλῶν εἰς σύμβλησιν μίαν· οὕτω ποιήσεῖς ἀμφοτέραις ταῖς δυσὶ γωνίαις· ἴσαι ἔστωσαν.
25 Καὶ ἔσονται ὀκτὼ στύλοι, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν ἀργυραῖ δεκαέξ· δύο βάσεις τῷ ἑνὶ στύλῳ εἰς ἀμφότερα τὰ μέρη αὐτοῦ, καὶ δύο βάσεις τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνί.
26 Καὶ ποιήσεις μοχλοὺς ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων· πέντε τῷ ἑνὶ στύλῳ ἐκ τοῦ ἑνὸς μέρους τῆς σκηνῆς,
27 καὶ πέντε μοχλοὺς τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ἑνὶ κλίτει τῆς σκηνῆς τῷ δευτέρῳ, καὶ πέντε μοχλοὺς τῷ στύλῳ τῷ ὀπισθίῳ τῷ κλίτει τῆς σκηνῆς τῷ πρὸς θάλασσαν.
28 Καὶ ὁ μοχλὸς ὁ μέσος ἀναμέσον τῶν στύλων διϊκνείσθω ἀπὸ τοῦ ἑνὸς κλίτους εἰς τὸ ἕτερον κλίτος.
29 Καὶ τοὺς στύλους καταχρυσώσεις χρυσίῳ· καὶ τοὺς δακτυλίους ποιήσεις χρυσοῦς, εἰς οὓς εἰσάξεις τούς μοχλούς· καὶ καταχρυσώσεις τοὺς μοχλοὺς χρυσίῳ.
30 Καὶ ἀναστήσεις τὴν σκηνὴν κατὰ τὸ εἶδος τὸ δεδειγμένον σοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει.
31 Καὶ ποιήσεις καταπέτασμα ἐξ ὑακίνθου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου, καὶ βύσσου νενησμένης· ἔργον ὑφαντὸν ποιήσεις αὐτὸ χερουβίμ.
32 Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις αὐτὸ ἐπὶ τεσσάρων στύλων ἀσήπτων κεχρυσωμένων χρυσίῳ· καὶ αἱ κεφαλίδες αὐτῶν χρυσαῖ, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τέσσαρες ἀργυραῖ.
33 Καὶ θήσεις τὸ καταπέτασμα ἐπὶ τῶν στύλων· καὶ εἰσοίσεις ἐκεῖ ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου· καὶ διοριεῖ τὸ καταπέτασμα ὑμῖν ἀναμέσον τοῦ ἁγίου καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ ἁγίου τῶν ἁγίων.
34 Καὶ κατακαλύψεις τῷ καταπετάσματι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἐν τῷ ἁγίῳ τῶν ἁγίων.
35 Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὴν τράπεζαν ἔξωθεν τοῦ καταπετάσματος, καὶ τὴν λυχνίαν ἀπέναντι τῆς τραπέζης ἐπὶ μέρους τῆς σκηνῆς τὸ πρὸς Νότον· καὶ τὴν τράπεζαν θήσεις ἐπὶ μέρους τῆς σκηνῆς τὸ πρὸς Βοῤῥᾶν.
36 Καὶ ποιήσεις ἐπίσπαστρον τῇ θύρᾳ τῆς σκηνῆς ἐξ ὑακίνθου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου, καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης, ἔργον ποικιλτοῦ.
37 Καὶ ποιήσεις τῷ καταπετάσματι πέντε στύλους, καὶ χρυσώσεις αὐτοὺς χρυσίῳ· καὶ αἱ κεφαλίδες αὐτῶν χρυσαῖ· καὶ χωνεύσεις αὐτοῖς πέντε βάσεις χαλκᾶς.

1 And thou shalt make the tabernacle, ten curtains of fine linen spun, and blue and purple, and scarlet spun with cherubs; thou shalt make them with work of a weaver.
2 The length of one curtain shall be eight and twenty cubits, and one curtain shall be the breadth of four cubits: there shall be the same measure to all the curtains.
3 And the five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five curtains shall be closely connected the one with the other.
4 And thou shalt make for them loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, on one side for the coupling, and so shalt thou make on the edge of the outer curtain for the second coupling.
5 Fifty loops shalt thou make for one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make on the part of the curtain answering to the coupling of the second, opposite each other , corresponding to each other at each point.
at each coupling.
6 And thou shalt make fifty golden rings; and thou shalt join the curtains to each other with the rings, and it shall be one tabernacle.
7 And thou shalt make for a covering of the tabernacle skins with the hair on, thou shalt make them eleven skins.
8 The length of one skin thirty cubits, and the breadth of one skin four cubits: there shall be the same measure to the eleven skins.
9 And thou shalt join the five skins together, and the six skins together; and thou shalt double the sixth skin in front of the tabernacle.
10 And thou shalt make fifty loops on the border of one skin, which is in the midst for the joinings; and thou shalt make fifty loops on the edge of the second skin that joins it.
11 And thou shalt make fifty brazen rings; and thou shalt join the rings by the loops, and thou shalt join the skins, and they shall be one.
12 And thou shalt fix at the end that which is over in the skins of the tabernacle; the half of the skin that is left shalt thou fold over, according to the overplus of the skins of the tabernacle; thou shalt fold it over behind the tabernacle.
13 A cubit on this side, and a cubit on that side of that which remains of the skins, of the length of the skins of the tabernacle: it shall be folding over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and that side, that it may cover it.
14 And thou shalt make for a covering of the tabernacle rams' skins dyed red, and blue skins as coverings above.
15 And thou shalt make the posts of the tabernacle of incorruptible wood.
16 Of ten cubits shalt thou make one post, and the breadth of one post of a cubit and a half.
17 Two joints shalt thou make in one post, answering the one to the other: so shalt thou do to all the posts of the tabernacle.
18 And thou shalt make posts to the tabernacle, twenty posts on the north side.
19 And thou shalt make to the twenty posts forty silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.
20 And for the next side, toward the south, twenty posts,
21 and their forty silver sockets: two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post on both its sides.
22 And on the back of the tabernacle at the part which is toward the west thou shalt make six posts.
23 And thou shalt make two posts on the corners of the tabernacle behind.
24 And it shall be equal below, they shall be equal toward the same part from the heads to one joining; so shalt thou make to both the two corners, let them be equal.
25 And there shall be eight posts, and their sixteen silver sockets; two sockets to one post on both its sides, and two sockets to the other post.
26 And thou shalt make bars of incorruptible wood; five to one post on one side of the tabernacle,
27 and five bars to one post on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars to the hinder posts, on the side of the tabernacle toward the sea.
28 And let the bar in the middle between the posts go through from the one side to the other side.
29 And thou shalt gild the posts with gold; and thou shalt make golden rings, into which thou shalt introduce the bars, and thou shalt gild the bars with gold.
30 And thou shalt set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shewed thee in the mount.
31 And thou shalt make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet woven, and fine linen spun: thou shalt make it cherubs in woven work.
32 And thou shalt set it upon four posts of incorruptible wood overlaid with gold; and their tops shall be gold, and their four sockets shall be of silver.
33 And thou shalt put the veil on the posts, and thou shalt carry in thither within the veil the ark of the testimony; and the veil shall make a separation for you between the holy and the holy of holies.
34 And thou shalt screen with the veil the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies.
35 And thou shalt set the table outside the veil, and the candlestick opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle; and thou shalt put the table on the north side of the tabernacle.
36 And thou shalt make a screen for the door of the tabernacle of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet and fine linen spun, the work of the embroiderer.
37 And thou shalt make for the veil five posts, and thou shalt gild them with gold; and their chapiters shall be gold; and thou shalt cast for them five brazen sockets.
