Exodus 36:8–19

The Tent—Exodus 26:1–37

⁸All the skilled craftsmen among the workers made the inner tent with ten sheets made from fine linen yarn and violet, purple, and bright red yarn. An angel^adesign was creatively worked into the fabric. ⁹Each sheet was 42 feet long and 6 feet wide—all the same size. ¹⁰Five of the sheets were sewn together, and the other five were also sewn together. ¹¹Then they made 50 violet loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set, ¹²placing the loops opposite each other. ¹³They also made 50 gold fasteners. They used them to link the ⸤two sets of⸥ sheets together so that the inner tent was a single unit. 

¹⁴They made 11 sheets of goats’ hair to form an outer tent over the inner tent. ¹⁵Each of the 11 sheets was 45 feet long and 6 feet wide. ¹⁶Five of the sheets were sewn together into one set, and the remaining six into another set. ¹⁷Then they made 50 loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set. ¹⁸They also made 50 bronze fasteners to link the inner tent together as a single unit. ¹⁹They made a cover out of rams’ skins that had been dyed red for the outer tent, and over that they put a cover made of fine leather.
