"Make a cover for the Tent out of eleven pieces of cloth made of goats' hair.

Set up the Tent according to the plan that I showed you on the mountain.

Beat part of it into a fine powder, take it into the Tent of my presence, and sprinkle it in front of the Covenant Box. Treat this incense as completely holy.
