Exodus 40:18

²⁰He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up. ²¹Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board. ²²Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way. ²³He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward. ²⁴He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. ²⁵For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards ²⁶and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. ²⁷For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. ²⁸He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part. ²⁹They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did this to both of them in the two corners. ³⁰There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets—under every board two sockets.

³¹He made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, ³²and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward. ³³He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other. ³⁴He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

¹⁵“You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. ¹⁶Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board. ¹⁷There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle. ¹⁸You shall make twenty boards for the tabernacle, for the south side southward. ¹⁹You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. ²⁰For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards, ²¹and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. ²²For the far side of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards. ²³You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far side. ²⁴They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners. ²⁵There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

You shall overlay the bars with gold. ³⁰You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.

³I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.

²⁴The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.

¹¹I will set my tent among you, and my soul won’t abhor you.
