Exodus 36:8-19

8The skilled craftsmen made ten curtains of finely woven linen for the Tabernacle. Then Bezalel decorated the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

9All ten curtains were exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

10Five of these curtains were joined together to make one long curtain, and the other five were joined to make a second long curtain.

11He made fifty loops of blue yarn and put them along the edge of the last curtain in each set.

12The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain matched the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.

13Then he made fifty gold clasps and fastened the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle was made of one continuous piece.

14He made eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.

15These eleven curtains were all exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

16Bezalel joined five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and the other six were joined to make a second long curtain.

17He made fifty loops for the edge of each large curtain.

18He also made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the long curtains together. In this way, the tent covering was made of one continuous piece.

19He completed the tent covering with a layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.
