For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,

Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—

"Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle

and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.

"For the inside of the Tabernacle, make a special curtain of finely woven linen. Decorate it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

"Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

Craft five posts from acacia wood. Overlay them with gold, and hang the curtain from them with gold hooks. Cast five bronze bases for the posts.

Make horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar are all one piece. Overlay the altar with bronze.

"Then make the courtyard for the Tabernacle, enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side, make the curtains 150 feet long.
