Exodus 26:1-13

The Tabernacle

26¹ And you are to make a House for me, with ten curtains of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman. ² Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure. ³ Five curtains are to be joined together, and the other five are to be joined together. ⁴ And you are to put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group of five, and on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group of five; ⁵ Fifty twists on one curtain and fifty on the other, the twists to be opposite one another. ⁶ Then make fifty gold hooks, joining the curtains together by the hooks, and in this way the House will be made.

⁷ And you are to make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the House, eleven curtains. ⁸ Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure. ⁹ Five of these curtains are to be joined together, and the other six are to be joined together, the sixth being folded over to make a hanging in front of the tent. ¹⁰ And you are to put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of one group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the other group. ¹¹ Then make fifty brass hooks and put the hooks into the twists, joining the tent together to make it one. ¹² And the folded part which is over of the curtains of the tent, the half-curtain which is folded back, will be hanging down over the back of the House. ¹³ And the cubit which is over of the ten curtains at the sides will be hanging over the two sides of the House as a cover.
