17. They made fifty loops on the edge of the outer curtain of the one set and fifty loops on the edge of the other set of curtains.
18. They made fifty copper clasps to join the tent together so that it would be one whole structure.
19. They also made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and an outer covering of beaded leather.
20. Then they made acacia-wood boards to stand upright as a frame for the dwelling.
21. Each board was fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.
22. Each board had two pegs for joining them to each other. They did this for all the dwelling’s boards.
23. They made twenty boards for the dwelling’s southern side.
24. They made forty silver bases under the twenty boards, with two bases under the first board for its two pegs, two bases under the next board for its two pegs, and so on.
25. For the dwelling’s other side on the north, they made twenty boards
26. and forty silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.
27. For the back of the dwelling on the west, they made six boards.
28. They made two additional boards for the dwelling’s rear corners.
29. They were spread out at the bottom but joined together at the top with one ring. In this way, these two boards formed the two corners.
30. And so there were eight boards with their sixteen silver bases, with two bases under every board.
31. They also made acacia-wood bars: five for the boards on one side of the dwelling,
32. five bars for the boards on the other side of the dwelling, and five bars for the boards on the back wall of the dwelling on the west.
33. They made the middle bar, which was halfway up the boards, run from one end to the other.
34. They covered the boards with gold. They made gold rings to house the bars and covered the bars with gold.
35. They made the veil of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen, with figures of winged heavenly creatures worked into its design.
36. They made for it four acacia-wood posts covered in gold with gold hooks and cast four silver bases for them.
