Context of Exodus 36:9

7The workers already had more things than they needed to finish all the work. 8All the workers who had special skills made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They used very good linen, as well as blue, purple and red material. They made beautiful pictures of cherubs on the curtains. All the curtains were the same size: 12 metres long and 2 metres wide. 10The workers joined five of the curtains together. They did the same thing with the other five curtains. 11They made rings of blue material along the edge of the last curtain in each set of five curtains.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-38Much of the report about building the Tent of Meeting repeats what 25:1–31:18 said.
