Exodus 26:1–14

The Tent—Exodus 36:8–38

¹⸤The Lord continued,⸥ “Make the inner tent with ten sheets made from fine linen yarn. Take violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and creatively work an angel^adesign into the fabric. ²Each sheet will be 42 feet long and 6 feet wide—all the same size. ³Five of the sheets must be sewn together, and the other five must also be sewn together. ⁴Make 50 violet loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set, ⁵placing the loops opposite each other. ⁶Make 50 gold fasteners. Use them to link the ⸤two sets of⸥ sheets together so that the tent is a single unit. 

⁷“Make 11 sheets of goats’ hair to form an outer tent over the inner tent. ⁸Each of the 11 sheets will be 45 feet long and 6 feet wide. ⁹Sew five of the sheets together into one set and the remaining six into another set. Fold the sixth sheet in half ⸤to hang⸥ in front of the tent. ¹⁰Make 50 loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set. ¹¹Make 50 bronze fasteners, and put them through the loops to link the inner tent together as a single unit. ¹²The remaining half-sheet should hang over the back of the inner tent. ¹³There will be 18 inches left over on each side because of the length of the outer tent’s sheets. That part should hang over each side in order to cover the inner tent. ¹⁴Make a cover of rams’ skins that have been dyed red for the outer tent. Over that put a cover made of fine leather.
