Exodus 36:8-18

81All the 2skillful people among those who were performing the work made the 3tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and 4violet, purple, and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer, 5Bezalel made them. 9The length of each curtain was 6twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had 7the same measurements. 10He 8joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he 9joined to one another. 11And he made loops of violet on the edge of the 10outermost curtain in the first 11set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was 12outermost in the second 13set. 12He made 14fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the 15edge of the curtain that was in the second 16set; the loops were opposite each other. 13He also made 17fifty clasps of gold, and 18joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was 19a unit.

14Then 20he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he 21made eleven curtains in all. 15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had 22the same measurements. 16He 23joined five curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. 17Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first 24set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second 25set. 18He also made fifty clasps of 26bronze to 27join the tent together so that it would be 28a unit.
