4. Finally, all the skilled workers building the sanctuary left their work that they were doing one by one to come
5. and say to Moses, "The people are contributing way too much material for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do."
6. So Moses issued a command that was proclaimed throughout the camp: "Every man and woman should stop making gift offerings for the sanctuary project." So the people stopped bringing anything more
7. because what they had already brought was more than enough to do all the work.
8. All the skilled workers made the dwelling out of ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and deep red yarns, with figures of winged heavenly creatures worked into their design.
9. Each curtain was forty-two feet long and six feet wide. All the curtains were the same size.
10. They joined five of the curtains to each other and joined the other five curtains to each other.
11. They made loops of blue thread on the edge of the outer curtain of the first set. They did the same on the edge of the outer curtain of the second set.
12. They made fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the outer curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite each other.
13. They also made fifty gold clasps, and they used the clasps to join the curtains to each other so that the dwelling was one whole structure.
14. They also made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the dwelling. They made eleven curtains.
15. Each curtain was forty-five feet long and each curtain six feet wide. All eleven curtains were the same size.
