Exodus 26:1-14

¹“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

²Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide — all curtains the same size.

³Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

⁴Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

⁵Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

⁶Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

⁷You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle — eleven curtains in all.

⁸Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size — thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

⁹Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

¹⁰Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

¹¹Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.

¹²As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

¹³And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.

¹⁴Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
