Exodus 36:8-17

The Making of the Tabernacle

⁸ And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubim of artistic work did he make them. ⁹ The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits—one measure for all the curtains. ¹⁰ And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled he one to another. ¹¹ And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling. ¹² He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another. ¹³ And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.

¹⁴ And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them. ¹⁵ The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain—one measure for the eleven curtains. ¹⁶ And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves. ¹⁷ And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.
