1. MOREOVER, YOU shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet [stuff], with cherubim skillfully embroidered shall you make them.
2. The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; each of the curtains shall measure the same.
3. The 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 last curtain in the first set, and likewise in the second set.
5. Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain that is in the second coupling or set, so that the loops on one correspond to the loops on the other.
6. And you shall make fifty clasps of gold and fasten the curtains together with the clasps; then the tabernacle shall be one whole.
7. And make curtains of goats' hair to be a [second] covering over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.
8. One curtain shall be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; and the eleven curtains shall all measure the same.
9. You shall join together five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the front of the tabernacle [to make a closed door].
10. And make fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain in the one set and fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain in the second set.
11. 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. The surplus that remains of the tent curtains, 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. You shall make a [third] covering for the tent of rams' skins tanned red, and a [fourth] covering above that of dolphin or porpoise skins.
