Exodus 26:7-13

7“Then 1you shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you shall make eleven curtains in all. 8The length of each curtain shall be thirty 2cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have 3the same measurements. 9You shall 4join five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain 5at the front of the tent. 10You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the 6curtain that is outermost in the first 7set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second 8set.

11“You shall make fifty clasps of 9bronze, and you shall put the clasps into the loops and 10join the tent together so that it will be 11a unit. 12The 12overlapping part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall lap over the back of the tabernacle. 13The cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall lap over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it.
