26 ¹“Yenza itabernakele ngamakhetheni alishumi: ilineni elisontwe kahle elinentambo eluhlaza, ebubende, nebomvu, elelukwe namakherubi yingcweti enekhono. ²Ikhetheni ngalinye: ubude bucishe babe ngamafithi angamashumi amane nambili, ububanzi babe ngamafithi ayisithupha—onke abe nobukhulu obufanayo. ³Amakhetheni amahlanu ahlangane wona odwa; amanye amahlanu ahlangane wona odwa. ⁴Yenza izihibe eziluhlaza onqenqemeni lwekhetheni elingaphandle esethini yokuqala, wenze ngokunjalo nasesethini yesibili. ⁵Yenza izihibe ezingamashumi amahlanu ekhethenini lokuqala, ezingamashumi amahlanu onqenqemeni lwekhetheni lesethi yesibili, zibhekane zodwa. ⁶Yenza izingwegwe zegolide ezingamashumi amahlanu, uhlanganise amakhetheni ndawonye ngazo, ukuze itabernakele libe yinto yinye.

⁷“Yenza amakhetheni ngoboya bezimbuzi abe yitende phezu kwetabernakele—abe yishumi nanye. ⁸Amakhetheni onke ayishumi nanye: ubude babe ngamafithi angamashumi amane nanhlanu, ububanzi babe ngamafithi ayisithupha, abe nobukhulu obubodwa. ⁹Hlanganisa amakhetheni amahlanu wodwa, ayisithupha wodwa; usonge ikhetheni lesithupha libe kabili ngaphambili kwetende. ¹⁰Yenza izihibe ezingamashumi amahlanu onqenqemeni lwekhetheni elingaphandle lesethi yokuqala, nezingamashumi amahlanu onqenqemeni lwekhetheni lesethi yesibili. ¹¹Yenza izingwegwe zethusi ezingamashumi amahlanu, uzifake ezihibeni, uhlanganise itende libe yinto yinye. ¹²Ingxenye yekhetheni esele etendeni iyakulenga ngemuva kwetabernakele. ¹³Ubude obusele obungamayintshi ayishumi nesishiyagalombili bekhetheni buyakulenga ngapha nangapha kwetabernakele, bulembese emaceleni omabili. ¹⁴Yenza isimbozo setende: izikhumba zezinqama ezidaywe zaba bomvu, naphezulu, isimbozo sesikhumba esihle.

¹⁵“Yenza amapulangwe ami aqondile ngomuthi womtholo abe ngawetabernakele. ¹⁶Ipulangwe ngalinye ubude balo bucishe babe ngamafithi ayishumi nanhlanu, ububanzi bucishe babe ngamayintshi angamashumi amabili nesikhombisa. ¹⁷Nika ipulangwe ngalinye amazinyo amabili, abhekane wodwa; wenze onke amapulangwe etabernakele kanjalo. ¹⁸Yenza amapulangwe angamashumi amabili ngasohlangothini oluseningizimu lwetabernakele. ¹⁹Yenza izisekelo zesiliva ezingamashumi amane ngaphansi kwamapulangwe angamashumi amabili—izibili ngepulangwe ngalinye, esisodwa ngezinyo ngalinye. ²⁰Ohlangothini lwesibili lwetabernakele, uhlangothi olusenyakatho, yenza amapulangwe angamashumi amabili, ²¹nezisekelo zesiliva ezingamashumi amane, izibili ngaphansi kwepulangwe ngalinye. ²²Ngasemuva kwetabernakele, ngasentshonalanga, yenza amapulangwe ayisithupha, ²³wenze amapulangwe amabili abe ngawamagumbi angasemuva. ²⁴Kumele aphindwe kabili kusukela phansi, ahlangane ndawonye kuze kufike phezulu endandathweni eyodwa—kube njalo kuwo omabili, kumagumbi omabili. ²⁵Ngakho kuyakuba khona amapulangwe ayisishiyagalombili nezisekelo zawo zesiliva—izisekelo eziyishumi nesithupha, izibili ngaphansi kwepulangwe ngalinye.

²⁶“Yenza imigoqo yomuthi womtholo: emihlanu ngeyamapulangwe asohlangothini olulodwa lwetabernakele, ²⁷emihlanu ngeyamapulangwe olunye uhlangothi, nemihlanu ngeyamapulangwe angasemuva, ngasentshonalanga. ²⁸Umgoqo ophakathi uyakudabula phakathi kwamapulangwe kusukela ekugcineni kuya ekugcineni. ²⁹Nameka amapulangwe ngegolide, wenze izindandatho zegolide zokubamba imigoqo, unameke nemigoqo ngegolide. ³⁰Misa itabernakele ngokwesifanekiso owasiboniswa entabeni.

³¹“Yenza isihenqo: intambo eluhlaza, ebubende, nebomvu, ilineni elisontwe kahle, elelukwe ngobuciko namakherubi. ³²Lilengise ezinsikeni ezine zomtholo ezinanyekwe ngegolide, ezinamahuku egolide, zimiswe ezisekelweni ezine zesiliva. ³³Lilengise ikhetheni ngaphansi kwezingwegwe. Ungenise umphongolo wesivumelwano ngemuva kwalo—ikhetheni lihlukanisa indawo engcwele kweyingcwele kakhulu. ^a a v33 Leli khetheni lalahlukanisa abantu nendawo eyingcwele kakhulu lapho ubukhona bukaBaba wethu babuhlala khona; ukudabuka kwalo kamuva kwavula indlela yokubuyela ekhaya ebukhoneni bakhe. ³⁴Beka isihlalo somusa phezu komphongolo womthetho wesivumelwano endaweni eyingcwele kakhulu. ³⁵Beka itafula ngaphandle kwesihenqo, uthi lwezibani lubhekane nalo ngasohlangothini oluseningizimu lwetabernakele, itafula ngasohlangothini olusenyakatho.

³⁶“Yenza isisitho somnyango wetende: intambo eluhlaza, ebubende, nebomvu, nelineni elisontwe kahle, umsebenzi ofekethisiweyo. ³⁷Yenza izinsika ezinhlanu zomtholo ngezesisitho, zinanyekwe ngegolide, zinamahuku egolide, ubumbe izisekelo ezinhlanu zethusi.”
