Exodus 36:8–17

BUILDING THE TABERNACLE

⁸All^a the skilled artisans^E among those doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them. ⁹Each curtain was forty-two feet^F long and six feet wide; all the curtains had the same measurements. ¹⁰He joined five of the curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he joined to each other. ¹¹He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set and did the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set. ¹²He made fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other. ¹³He also made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle became a single unit.

¹⁴He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven of them. ¹⁵Each curtain was forty-five feet^H long and six feet wide. All eleven curtains had the same measurements. ¹⁶He joined five of the curtains together, and the other six together. ¹⁷He made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set and fifty loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.
