Exodus 26:1-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. “You are to construct the tabernacle itself with 10 curtains. You must make them of finely spun linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.

2. The length of each curtain should be 42 feet, and the width of each curtain six feet; all the curtains are to have the same measurements.

3. Five of the curtains should be joined together, and the other five curtains joined together.

4. Make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.

5. Make 50 loops on the one curtain and make 50 loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together.

6. Also make 50 gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.

7. “You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make 11 of these curtains.

8. The length of each curtain should be 45 feet and the width of each curtain six feet. All 11 curtains are to have the same measurements.

9. Join five of the curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. Then fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.

10. Make 50 loops on the edge of the one curtain, the outermost in the first set, and make 50 loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain of the second set.
