Exodus 26:31-37

New International Reader's Version

³¹ “Make a curtain out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. Have a skilled worker sew cherubim into the pattern. ³² Hang the curtain with gold hooks on four posts that are made out of acacia wood. Cover the posts with gold. Stand them on four silver bases. ³³ Hang the curtain from the hooks. Place the ark of the covenant law behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Room from the Most Holy Room. ³⁴ Put the cover on the ark of the covenant law in the Most Holy Room. The cover will be the place where sin is paid for. ³⁵ Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the holy tent. And put the lampstand across from it on the south side.

³⁶ “Make a curtain for the entrance to the tent. Make it out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. Have a person who sews skillfully make it. ³⁷ Make gold hooks for the curtain. Make five posts out of acacia wood. Cover them with gold. And make five bronze bases for them.
