Exodus 26:7-8-28 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7-8. As the material for the tent, use goat hair to weave eleven sections thirteen metres by two metres each.

9. Sew five of the sections together to make one panel. Then sew the other six together to make a second panel, and fold the sixth section double over the front of the tent.

10. Put fifty loops along one of the wider sides of each panel

11. and fasten the two panels at the loops with fifty bronze hooks.

12-13. The panel of goat hair will be a metre longer than the tent itself, so fold fifty centimetres of the material behind the tent and on each side as a protective covering.

14. Make two more coverings—one with ram skins dyed red and the other with fine leather.

15. Build a framework of acacia wood for the walls of the sacred tent.

16. Each frame is to be four metres high and sixty-six centimetres wide

17. with two wooden pegs near the bottom.

18-21. Place two silver stands under each frame with sockets for the pegs, so the frames can be joined together. Twenty of these frames are to be used along the south side and twenty more along the north.

22. For the back wall along the west side use six frames

23-24. with two more at the south-west and north-west corners. Make certain that these corner frames are joined from top to bottom.

25. Altogether, this back wall will have eight frames with two silver stands under each one.

26-27. Make five crossbars for each of the wooden frames,

28. with the centre crossbar running the full length of the wall.
