26 And thou shalt make bars of sittin woods, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 27 and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the end side of the tabernacle toward the west. 28 And the middle bar in the midst of the boards shall pass from end to end. 29 And the boards thou shalt overlay with gold, and the rings make thou of gold, the place for the bars, and cover the bars with gold. 30 And thou shalt erect the tabernacle after the manner of it which hath been showed thee on the mount.
