Exodus 36:8-37:9

          8All the skilled craftsmen among the workmen made the ten curtains for the tabernacle. They were made of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them.
          9Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size.
          10And he joined five of the curtains together, and the other five he joined as well.

          11He made loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and also on the end curtain in the second set.
          12He made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops lined up opposite one another.
          13He also made fifty gold clasps to join the curtains together, so that the tabernacle was a unit.

          14He then made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle — eleven curtains in all.
          15Each of the eleven curtains was the same size — thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
          16He joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another.
          17He made 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.
          18He also made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a unit.

¹⁹Additionally, he made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

          20Next, he constructed upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
          21Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
          22Two tenons were connected to each other for each frame. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

²³He constructed twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,

²⁴with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames — two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

²⁵For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames

²⁶and forty silver bases— two bases under each frame.

          27He made six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,
          28and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,
          29coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. He made both corners in this way.
          30So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases— two under each frame.

³¹He also made five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

³²five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

³³He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other.

³⁴And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

³⁵Next, he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

³⁶He also made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold, along with gold hooks; and he cast four silver bases for the posts.

³⁷For the entrance to the tent, he made a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen,

³⁸together with five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and their five bases were bronze.

          1Bezalel went on to construct the ark of acacia wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
          2He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold molding around it.
          3And he cast four gold rings for its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.
          4Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
          5He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark in order to carry it.

          6He constructed a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
          7He made two cherubim of hammered gold at the ends of the mercy seat,
          8one cherub on one end and one on the other, all made from one piece of gold.
          9And the cherubim had wings that spread upward, overshadowing the mercy seat. The cherubim faced each other, looking toward the mercy seat.
