Chapter overview (whole chapter)

Exodus 26 gives God's instructions for building the tabernacle itself: ten fine linen curtains embroidered with cherubim, coupled together to form the tent, then overlaid with coverings of goats' hair, rams' skins, and badgers' skins. It specifies the gold-covered boards of shittim wood, their silver sockets, and the bars that held the walls together. The chapter also describes the inner veil of blue, purple, and scarlet that separated the holy place from the most holy place where the ark rested, and the embroidered hanging for the doorway.
