New Century Version

Exodus 36:6-14 New Century Version (NCV)

6. Then Moses sent this command throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as a gift for the Holy Tent.” So the people were kept from giving more,

7. because what they had was already more than enough to do all the work.

8. Then the skilled workers made the Holy Tent. They made the ten curtains of blue, purple, and red cloth, and they sewed designs of creatures with wings on the curtains.

9. Each curtain was the same size—forty-two feet long and six feet wide.

10. Five of the curtains were fastened together to make one set, and the other five were fastened together to make another set.

11. Then they made loops of blue cloth along the edge of the end curtain on the first set of five, and they did the same thing with the other set of five.

12. There were fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the other curtain, with the loops opposite each other.

13. They made fifty gold hooks to join the two curtains together so that the Holy Tent was joined together as one piece.

14. Then the workers made another tent of eleven curtains made of goat hair, to put over the Holy Tent.
