Exodus 36:8-18

8All the skilled men among them who were doing the work on the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, with cherubim [worked into them], the work of an embroiderer, Bezalel made them.

9Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were one size.

10Bezalel joined five curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains he joined one to another.

11He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he also did this on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.

12He made fifty loops in the one curtain [of the first set] and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was in the second set; the loops were opposite one another.

13He made fifty gold hooks and joined the curtains together with the hooks, so that the tabernacle became a unit.

14Then he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all.

15Each curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; the eleven curtains were of equal size.

16Bezalel joined five curtains by themselves and [the other] six curtains by themselves.

17He made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.

18He made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent together into a unit.
