Exodus 26:1-14

“Make for the Holy Tent ten curtains of fine linen and blue, purple, and red thread. Have a skilled craftsman sew designs of creatures with wings on the pieces of cloth. Make each curtain the same size—forty-two feet long and six feet wide. Sew five curtains together for one set, and sew the other curtains together for the second set. Make loops of blue cloth on the edge of the end curtain of one set, and do the same for the end curtain of the other set. Make fifty loops on the end curtain of the first set and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set. These loops must be opposite each other. And make fifty gold hooks to join the two sets of curtains so that the Holy Tent is one piece. “Then make another tent that will cover the Holy Tent, using eleven curtains made from goat hair. All these curtains must be the same size—forty-five feet long and six feet wide. Sew five of the curtains together into one set. Then sew the other six curtains together into the second set. Fold the sixth curtain double over the front of the Tent. Make fifty loops down the edge of the end curtain of one set, and do the same for the end curtain of the other set. Then make fifty bronze hooks and put them in the loops to join the tent together so that the covering is one piece. Let the extra half piece of cloth hang over the back of the Holy Tent. There will be eighteen inches hanging over the sides of the Holy Tent, to protect it. Make a covering for the Holy Tent from sheepskins colored red, and over that make a covering from fine leather.
