Exodus 36:8-19
Construction Proceeds
8 (A)All the (a)skillful men among those who were performing the work made the (b)tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and (c)blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, (d)Bezalel made them.
9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight (e)cubits and the width of each curtain four (f)cubits; all the curtains had (g)the same measurements.
10 He (h)joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he (i)joined to one another.
11 He made loops of (j)blue on the edge of the (k)outermost curtain in the first (l)set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was (m)outermost in the second (n)set.
12 He made (B)fifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the (o)edge of the curtain that was in the second (p)set; the loops were opposite each other.
13 He made (C)fifty clasps of gold and (q)joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was (r)a unit.
14 Then (D)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains (s)in all.
15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had (t)the same measurements.
16 He (u)joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves.
17 Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first (v)set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second (w)set.
18 He made fifty clasps of (x)bronze to (y)join the tent together so that it would be (z)a unit.
19 He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins (aa)dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above.
