Exodus 36:8-17
Building the Tabernacle
8 All(A) the skilled craftsmen(a) among those doing the work made the tabernacle with 10 curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.
9 The length of each curtain was 42 feet,(b) and the width of each curtain six feet;(c) all the curtains had the same measurements.
10 He joined five of the curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he joined to each other.
11 He 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.
12 He made 50 loops on the one curtain and 50 loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other.
13 He also made 50 gold clasps and joined the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle became a single unit.
14 He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made 11 of them.
15 The length of each curtain was 45 feet,(d) and the width of each curtain six feet.(e) All 11 curtains had the same measurements.
16 He joined five of the curtains together, and the other six together.
17 He made 50 loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set and 50 loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.
