Exodus 26:1-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. “Make the Holy Tent with ten pieces of cloth. These pieces must be made of fine linen and blue, purple and red thread. Have a skilled craftsman sew designs of creatures with wings on the pieces of cloth.

2. Make each piece the same size. Each piece should be 42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

3. Sew five pieces of cloth together for one set. Sew the other pieces together for the second set.

4. Make loops of blue cloth down the edge of the end piece of each set.

5. Make 50 loops on the end piece of the first set. And make 50 loops on the end piece of the second set. These loops must be opposite each other.

6. And make 50 gold hooks. Use these to join the two sets of cloth. This will make the Holy Tent one piece.

7. “Then make another tent that will cover the Holy Tent. Make this tent of 11 pieces of cloth made from goat hair.

8. All these pieces of cloth must be the same size. They must be 45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

9. Sew five of the pieces together into one set. Then sew the other six pieces together into the second set. Fold the sixth piece double over the front of the Tent.

10. Make 50 loops down the edge of the end piece of one set. Do the same for the end piece of the other set.

11. Then make 50 bronze hooks. Put these in the loops to join the two sets of cloth. This will make the covering one piece.
