Exodus 36:20-34

The Tabernacle Underwritten

²⁰Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. ²¹Ten cubits was the length of each board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board. ²²There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; he did this to all the boards of the tabernacle. ²³So he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side; ²⁴and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons. ²⁵Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, ²⁶and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board. ²⁷And for the back of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. ²⁸He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back. ²⁹They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its top, to the first ring; he did this with both of them for the two corners. ³⁰There were eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases, two bases under every board.

³¹Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of 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 back side to the west. ³³And he made the middle bar to pass through in the center of the boards from end to end. ³⁴Then he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
