9. Each sheet was 42 feet long and 6 feet wide—all the same size.

11. Then they made 50 violet loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set,

12. placing the loops opposite each other.

13. They also made 50 gold fasteners. They used them to link the ⌊two sets of⌋ sheets together so that the inner tent was a single unit.

21. Each frame was 15 feet long and 27 inches wide,

22. with two identical pegs. They made all the frames for the inner tent this same way.

23. They made 20 frames for the south side of the inner tent.

26. and 40 silver sockets, two at the bottom of each frame.
