Exodus 36:4-19 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4. And all the wise and able men who were doing the work on the sanctuary came, every man from the work he was doing,

5. And they said to Moses, The people bring much more than enough for doing the work which the Lord commanded to do.

6. So Moses commanded and it was proclaimed in all the camp, Let no man or woman do anything more for the sanctuary offering. So the people were restrained from bringing,

7. For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work and more.

8. And all the able and wisehearted men among them who did the work on the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], with cherubim skillfully worked on them.

9. The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and its breadth four cubits; all the curtains were one size.

10. [Bezalel] coupled five curtains one to another and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

11. And he made loops of blue on the outer edge of the last curtain in the first set; this he did also on the inner edge of the first curtain in the second set.

12. Fifty loops he made in the one curtain and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which was the second set; the loops were opposite one another.

13. And he made fifty clasps of gold and coupled the curtains together with the clasps so that the tabernacle became one unit.

14. And he made eleven curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle.

15. The length of one curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits was the breadth; the eleven curtains were of equal size.

16. And he coupled five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves.

17. And he made fifty loops on the outmost edge of the curtain to be coupled and fifty loops he made on the inner edge of the second curtain to be coupled.

18. He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together into one whole.

19. He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins tanned red, and above it a covering of dolphin or porpoise skins.
