Exodus 36:8-35
8AllH3605 the skilled craftsmenH2450H3820 among the workmenH6213H4399 madeH6213 the tenH6235 curtainsH3407 for the tabernacleH4908. They were madeH6213 of finely spunH7806 linenH8336, as well as blueH8504, purpleH713, and scarlet yarnH8438H8144, with cherubimH3742 skillfullyH2803 worked into themH4639. 9EachH259 curtainH3407 was twenty-eightH8083 cubitsH520 longH753 and fourH702 cubitsH520 wideH7341;1 allH3605 the curtainsH3407 were the sameH259 sizeH4060. 10And he joinedH2266 fiveH2568 of the curtainsH3407 togetherH413H259, and the other fiveH2568 he joinedH2266H259 as wellH413H259.
11He madeH6213 loopsH3924 of blueH8504 material onH5921 the edgeH8193 of the endH7098 curtainH3407 in the firstH259 setH4225, and alsoH6213H3651H8193 on the endH7020 curtainH3407 in the secondH8145 setH4225. 12He madeH6213 fiftyH2572 loopsH3924 on oneH259 curtainH3407 and fiftyH2572 loopsH3924H6213 on the endH7097 curtainH3407 of the secondH8145 setH4225, so that the loopsH3924 lined upH6901 oppositeH413 oneH259 anotherH259. 13He also madeH6213 fiftyH2572 goldH2091 claspsH7165 to joinH2266 the curtainsH3407 togetherH413H259H7165, so that the tabernacleH4908 wasH1961 a unitH259.
14He then madeH6213 curtainsH3407 of goat hairH5795 for the tentH168 overH5921 the tabernacleH4908—elevenH6249H6240 curtainsH3407 in allH6213. 15EachH259 of the elevenH6249H6240 curtainsH3407 was the sameH259 sizeH4060—thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 longH753 and fourH702 cubitsH520 wideH7341.2 16He joinedH2266 fiveH2568 of the curtainsH3407 into one setH905 and the otherH3407 sixH8337 into anotherH905. 17He madeH6213 fiftyH2572 loopsH3924 alongH5921 the edgeH8193 of the endH7020 curtainH3407 in the first setH4225, and fiftyH2572 loopsH3924H6213 alongH5921 the edgeH8193 of the corresponding curtainH3407 in the secondH8145 setH2279. 18He also madeH6213 fiftyH2572 bronzeH5178 claspsH7165 to join the tentH168H1961 togetherH2266 as a unitH259.
19Additionally, he madeH6213 for the tentH168 a coveringH4372 of ramH352 skinsH5785 dyed redH119, and over thatH4605 a coveringH4372 of fine leatherH5785H8476.3
20Next, he constructedH6213 uprightH5975 framesH7175 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 for the tabernacleH4908. 21Each frameH7175 was tenH6235 cubitsH520 longH753 and a cubitH520 and a halfH2677H520 wideH7341H7175.4 22TwoH8147 tenonsH30275 were connectedH7947 toH413 eachH259 otherH259 for eachH259 frameH7175. He madeH6213 allH3605 the framesH7175 of the tabernacleH4908 in this wayH3651.
23He constructedH6213 twentyH6242 framesH7175 for the southH5045H8486 sideH6285 of the tabernacleH4908, 24with fortyH705 silverH3701 basesH134 to put underH8478 the twentyH6242 framesH7175—twoH8147 basesH134 for each frameH7175, oneH259 underH8478 eachH259 tenonH3027.
25For the secondH8145 sideH6763 of the tabernacleH4908, the northH6828 sideH6285, he madeH6213 twentyH6242 framesH7175 26and fortyH705 silverH3701 basesH134—twoH8147 basesH134 underH8478 eachH259 frameH7175.
27He madeH6213 sixH8337 framesH7175 for the rearH3411 of the tabernacleH4908, the west sideH3220, 28and twoH8147 framesH7175 for the two backH3411 cornersH4742 of the tabernacleH4908, 29coupled togetherH8380 from bottomH4295H3162H1961H8535 toH413 topH7218 and fitted intoH413 a singleH259 ringH2885. He madeH6213 bothH8147 cornersH4740 in this wayH3651. 30So there wereH1961 eightH8083 framesH7175 and sixteenH8337H6240 silverH3701 basesH134—twoH8147H134 underH8478 eachH259 frameH7175.
31He also madeH6213 fiveH2568 crossbarsH1280 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 for the framesH7175 on oneH259 sideH6763 of the tabernacleH4908, 32fiveH2568 forH7175 those on the otherH8145 sideH6763, and fiveH2568 for thoseH7175 on the rear sideH3411 of the tabernacleH4908, to the westH3220.
33He madeH6213 the centralH8484 crossbarH1280 to run throughH1272 the centerH8432 of the framesH7175, fromH4480 one endH7097 toH413 the otherH7097. 34AndH853 he overlaidH6823 the framesH7175 with goldH2091 and madeH6213 goldH2091 ringsH2885 to holdH1004 the crossbarsH1280. He also overlaidH6823 the crossbarsH1280 with goldH2091.
35Next, he madeH6213 the veilH6532 of blueH8504, purpleH713, and scarlet yarnH8438H8144, and finely spunH7806 linenH8336, with cherubimH3742 skillfullyH2803 workedH4639 into it.
