Exodus 26:7-14

7“You are to make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you are to make eleven curtains.

8The length of each curtain is to be forty-five feet, and the width of each curtain is to be six feet – the same size for the eleven curtains.

9You are to join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. You are to double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.

10You are to make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joins the second set.

11You are to make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it is a unit.

12Now the part that remains of the curtains of the tent – the half curtain that remains will hang over at the back of the tabernacle.

13The foot and a half on the one side and the foot and a half on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent will hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on one side and the other side, to cover it.

14“You are to make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather.
