The XXVI. Chapter.

[ A] THe habitacion shalt thou make of ten curteynes, of whyte twyned syl∣ke, of yalowe sylke, of scarlet and pur¦ple. Cherubyms shalt thou make theron of broderd worke. The lenght of one curteyne shalbe eight and twentye cubytes y^e bredth foure cubytes: and all the ten shalbe like, and shalbe coupled fyue and fyue together, one vnto the other. And thou shalt make lou¦pes of yalowe sylke by the edge of euery cur¦tayne, where they shalbe coupled together, that there maye be euer two and two faste∣ned together vpon their edges: fiftie loupes vpon euery curteyne, that one maye fasten the other together. And thou shalt make fif∣tie buttons of golde, wherwith the curtey∣nes maye be coupled together, one to the other, that it maye be one couerynge.

[ B] Thou shalt make a coueringe also of goa¦tes heyer for a tente ouer the habitacion,* 1.1 of eleuen curteynes. The length of one curtey∣ne shalbe thirtie cubytes, the bredth foure cubytes. And all the eleuen shalbe alike grea¦te: fyue shalt thou couple together by thē sel¦ues, & sixe also by them selues, y^t thou mayest dubble the sixte curteyne in the fore front of the Tabernacle. And vpon euery curteyne thou shalt make fiftie loupes vpō the edges of them, that they maie be coupled together by the edges. And fiftie buttons of brasse shalt thou make, and put the buttons in to the loupes, that the tent maye be coupled to¦gether, and be one couerynge.

As for the remnaunt of the curteynes of the tente, thou shalt let the halfe parte han∣ge ouer behynde y^e tēte, vpon both the sydes a cubyte longe, y^t the resydue maye be vpon the sydes of the Tabernacle, & couer it vpon both the sydes.

Besydes this couerynge thou shalt ma∣ke [ C] a couerynge of reed skynnes of rammes. And aboue this a coueringe of doo skinnes.

Thou shalt make bordes also for the habi¦tacion, of Fyrre tre, which shall stonde: one borde shalbe ten cubytes longe, & a cubyte & a half brode. Two fete shal one borde haue, that one maye be set by the other.

Thus shalt thou make all the bordes for y^e Tabernacle: Twentye of them shal stōde towarde the south, which shal haue fourtye sokettes of syluer vnder them, two sokettes vnder euery borde for his two fete.

Likewyse vpon the other syde towarde the north there shall stonde twentye bordes also, and fourtye sokettes of syluer, two so∣kettes vnder euery borde.

But behynde the habitacion towarde y^e [ D] west thou shalt make sixe bordes, and two bordes mo for the two corners of the habi∣tacion, that euery one of them both maye be coupled from vnder vp with his corner borde, and aboue vpon the heade to come ea¦uen together with a clāpe: so that there be eight bordes with their syluer sokettes, wher¦of there shalbe sixtene, two vnder euery borde.

And thou shalt make barres of fyrre tre, [ E] fyue for the bordes vpon the one syde of the Tabernacle, and fyue for the bordes vpon the other syde of the Tabernacle, and fyue for the bordes behinde y^e Tabernacle towar¦de the west. And the barres shalt thou shu∣te thorow y^e myddest of the bordes, and fas∣tē alltogether from y^e one corner to y^e other. And thou shalt ouerlaye the bordes w^t gol∣de, and make their rynges of golde, that the barres maye be put therin. And the bar•••••• shalt thou ouerlaye with golde, and so shalt

thou set vp the Tabernacle, acordinge to y^e fashion a•• thou hast sene vpon y^e mount.

[ F] And thou shalt make a vayle of yalow sylke, scarlet, purple, whyte twyned sylke. And Cherubyns shalt thou make theron of broderd worke, and shalt hange it vpon fou¦re pilers of Fyrre tre which are ouerlayed with golde, hauynge knoppes of golde, and foure sokettes of syluer. And the vayle shalt thou festen with buttons, and set the Arke of wytnesse within the vayle, that it maye be vnto you a difference betwixte the holy and the Most holy.

[ G] And thou shalt set the Mercy seate vpon the Arke of wytnesse in the Most holy. But set the table without the vayle, and the can¦dilsticke ouer agaynst y^e table vpon y^e south syde of the Tabernacle, that the table maie stonde on the north syde.

And in the dore of the Tabernacle thou shalt make an hanginge, of yalow sylke, pur¦ple, scarlet and whyte twyned sylke. And for the same hanginge thou shalt make fyue pi¦lers of Fyrre tre, ouerlayed with golde, with knoppes of golde. And shalt cast fyue soket¦tes of brasse for them.
