Shemot 36:8-22 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

8. And kol chacham lev among them that wrought the work of the Mishkan made ten curtains of fine linen, twisted with turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool; with keruvim in a woven artistic design made he [Bezalel] them.

9. The length of each curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all of the one size.

10. And he joined five curtains one unto another; and the other five curtains he joined one unto another.

11. And he made loops of turquoise wool on the edge of one curtain at the end of the first set; likewise he made them along the edge of the end curtains of the second set.

12. Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the end curtain in the second set; the loops were to be opposite one another.

13. And he made fifty hooks of zahav, and joined the curtains one unto another with the hooks; so it became Mishkan Echad.

14. And he made curtains of goat hair for the Ohel over the Mishkan; eleven curtains he made them.

15. The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of one curtain; the eleven curtains were of the one size.

16. And he joined five curtains into a set, and six curtains into a set.

17. And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain at the end of the set, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain of the other set.

18. And he made fifty hooks of nechoshet to attach the Ohel together, that it might be echad (one).

19. And he made a Mikhseh (Cover) for the Ohel of dyed red ram skin, and a tachash hide Mikhseh above that.

20. And he made kerashim (planks) for the Mishkan of acacia wood, standing erect.

21. The length of a keresh (plank) was ten cubits, and the width of a keresh one cubit and a half.

22. One keresh had two yadot (projections, tenons), equally distant one from another; thus did he make for all the kerashim of the Mishkan.
