Exodus 36:8-19

8All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands.

9All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.

10They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five.

11Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set.

12They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.

13Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.

14They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether.

15All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

16They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set.

17Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.

18They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.

19Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.
