Exodus 36:8-19

8All the skilled craftsmen among the workers made the inner tent with ten sheets made from fine linen yarn and violet, purple, and bright red yarn. An angel  design was creatively worked into the fabric.

9Each sheet was 42 feet long and 6 feet wide—all the same size.

10Five of the sheets were sewn together, and the other five were also sewn together.

11Then they made 50 violet loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set,

12placing the loops opposite each other.

13They also made 50 gold fasteners. They used them to link the ⌞two sets of⌟ sheets together so that the inner tent was a single unit.

14They made 11 sheets of goats’ hair to form an outer tent over the inner tent.

15Each of the 11 sheets was 45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

16Five of the sheets were sewn together into one set, and the remaining six into another set.

17Then they made 50 loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set.

18They also made 50 bronze fasteners to link the inner tent together as a single unit.

19They made a cover out of rams’ skins that had been dyed red for the outer tent, and over that they put a cover made of fine leather.
