New Living Translation

Exodus 36:14-26 New Living Translation (NLT)

14. He made eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.

15. These eleven curtains were all exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

16. Bezalel joined five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and the other six were joined to make a second long curtain.

17. He made fifty loops for the edge of each large curtain.

18. He also made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the long curtains together. In this way, the tent covering was made of one continuous piece.

19. He completed the tent covering with a layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.

20. For the framework of the Tabernacle, Bezalel constructed frames of acacia wood.

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

22. with two pegs under each frame. All the frames were identical.

23. He made twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.

24. He also made forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.

25. For the north side of the Tabernacle, he made another twenty frames,

26. with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.
