1 "Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet stuff; with cherubim skilfully worked shall you make them.

 

2 The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have one measure.

 

3 Five curtains shall be coupled to one another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.

 

4 And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the outmost curtain in the first set; and likewise you shall make loops on the edge of the outmost curtain in the second set.

 

5 Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one another.

 

6 And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, that the tabernacle may be one whole.

 

7 "You shall also make curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.

 

8 The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have the same measure.

 

9 And you shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and the sixth curtain you shall double over at the front of the tent.

 

10 And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outmost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outmost in the second set.

 

11 "And you shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together that it may be one whole.

 

12 And the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.

 

13 And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.

 

14 And you shall make for the tent a covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins.

 

15 "And you shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.

 

16 Ten cubits shall be the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.

 

17 There shall be two tenons in each frame, for fitting together; so shall you do for all the frames of the tabernacle.

 

18 You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side;

 

19 and forty bases of silver you shall make under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under another frame for its two tenons;

 

20 and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty frames,

 

21 and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame, and two bases under another frame;

 

22 and for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six frames.
