Exodus 36:8-19

Exodus 36:8-19 AMP

All the skilled men among them who were doing the work on the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, with cherubim [worked into them], the work of an embroiderer, Bezalel made them. Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were one size. Bezalel joined five curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains he joined one to another. He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he also did this on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set. He made fifty loops in the one curtain [of the first set] and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was in the second set; the loops were opposite one another. He made fifty gold hooks and joined the curtains together with the hooks, so that the tabernacle became a unit. Then he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all. Each curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; the eleven curtains were of equal size. Bezalel joined five curtains by themselves and [the other] six curtains by themselves. He made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set. He made fifty bronze hooks to join the tent together into a unit. He made a [third] covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and above it a [fourth] covering of porpoise skins.
