17. They made 50 loops along the edge of the outside piece of one set. And they made 50 loops along the edge of the outside piece of the other set.
18. Then they made 50 bronze rings to join the two sets of cloth together and make the tent one piece.
19. Then they made two more coverings for the outer tent. One covering was made of male sheep skin colored red. The other covering was made of fine leather.
20. Then they made upright frames of acacia wood.
21. Each board was 15 feet tall and 27 inches wide.
22. There were two pegs side by side on each frame. Every frame of the Holy Tent was made this same way.
23. They made 20 frames for the south side of the Tent.
24. Then they made 40 silver bases that went under the 20 frames. There were two bases for every frame—one for each peg of each board.
25. They also made 20 frames for the north side of the Holy Tent.
26. They made 40 silver bases—2 to go under each frame.
27. They made 6 frames for the rear or west end of the Holy Tent
28. and 2 frames for the corners at the rear of the Holy Tent.
29. These 2 frames were joined together from the bottom to the top with a metal ring. They did this for each of these corners.
30. So there were 8 frames and 16 silver bases—2 bases under each frame.
31. Then they made crossbars of acacia wood to connect the upright frames of the Holy Tent. Five crossbars held the frames together on one side of the Tent.
32. Five crossbars held the frames together on the other side. And five crossbars held the frames together on the west end, at the rear of the Tent.
33. They made the crossbar run along the entire length of each side and rear of the Tent. It was set halfway up the frames.
34. They made gold rings on the sides of the frames. They passed the crossbars through the rings. They covered the frames and the crossbars with gold.
35. Then they made the curtain with blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. A skilled craftsman sewed designs of creatures with wings on it.
36. They made four posts of acacia wood and covered them with gold. Then they made gold hooks for the posts. And they made four silver bases in which to set the posts.
37. Then they made a curtain for the entrance to the Tent. They used blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. A person who sewed well sewed designs on it.
