Exodus 36:17-32 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. And he made fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, and fifty along the edge of the other canopy, so that they might be joined to one another,

18. and fifty buckles of brass, with which the roof might be woven together, so that from all the canopies there would be made one covering.

19. He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.

20. He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.

21. Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width.

22. There were two dovetails along every panel, so that one might be joined to the other. Thus did he make all the panels of the tabernacle.

23. Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,

24. with forty bases of silver. Two bases were set under one panel at each of two sides at the corners, where the joints of the sides terminate in corners.

25. Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,

26. with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board.

27. Yet truly, opposite the west, that is, toward that part of the tabernacle which looks out toward the sea, he made six panels,

28. and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back,

29. which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side.

30. So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel.

31. He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle,

32. and five others to fit together the panels of the other side, and, in addition to these, five other bars toward the western area of the tabernacle, opposite the sea.
