Exodus 26:1–14

And thou shalt make the tabernacle in this manner: Thou shalt make ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, diversified with embroidery.

²The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits; the breadth shall be four cubits. All the curtains shall be of one measure.

³Five curtains shall be joined one to another, and the other five shall be coupled together in like manner.

⁴Thou shalt make loops of violet in the sides and tops of the curtains, that they may be joined one to another.

⁵Every curtain shall have fifty loops on both sides, so set on, that one loop may be against another loop, and one may be fitted to the other.

⁶Thou shalt make also fifty rings of gold, wherewith the veils of the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.

⁷Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.

⁸The length of one hair-curtain shall be thirty cubits; and the breadth, four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.

⁹Five of which thou shalt couple by themselves, and the six others thou shalt couple one to another, so as to double the sixth curtain in the front of the roof.

¹⁰Thou shalt make also fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, that it may be joined with the other: and fifty loops in the edge of the other curtain, that it may be coupled with its fellow.

¹¹Thou shalt make also fifty buckles of brass, wherewith the loops may be joined, that of all there may be made one covering.

¹²And that which shall remain of the curtains, that are prepared for the roof, to wit, one curtain that is over and above, with the half thereof thou shalt cover the back parts of the tabernacle.

¹³And there shall hang down a cubit on the one side, and another on the other side, which is over and above in the length of the curtains, fencing both sides of the tabernacle.

¹⁴Thou shalt make also another cover to the roof of rams’ skins dyed red: and over that again another cover of violet coloured skins.
