Context
36:19 He made a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather .
36:20 He made the frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood as uprights .
36:21 The length of each frame was fifteen feet , the width of each frame was two and a quarter feet ,
36:22 with two projections per frame parallel one to another . He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way .
36:23 So he made frames for the tabernacle : twenty frames for the south side .
36:24 He made forty silver bases under the twenty frames – two bases under the first frame for its two projections , and likewise two bases under the next frame for its two projections ,
36:25 and for the second side of the tabernacle , the north side , he made twenty frames
36:26 and their forty silver bases , two bases under the first frame and two bases under the next frame .
36:27 And for the back of the tabernacle on the west he made six frames .
36:28 He made two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back .
36:29 At the two corners they were doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring . So he did for both .
36:30 So there were eight frames and their silver bases , sixteen bases , two bases under each frame .
36:31 He made bars of acacia wood , five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle
36:32 and five bars for the frames on the second side of the tabernacle , and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle for the back side on the west .
36:33 He made the middle bar to reach from end to end in the center of the frames .
36:34 He overlaid the frames with gold and made their rings of gold to provide places for the bars , and he overlaid the bars with gold .
36:35 He made the special curtain of blue , purple , and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen ; he made it with cherubim , the work of an artistic designer .
36:36 He made for it four posts of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold , with gold hooks , and he cast for them four silver bases .
36:37 He made a hanging for the entrance of the tent of blue , purple , and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen , the work of an embroiderer ,
36:38 and its five posts and their hooks . He overlaid their tops and their bands with gold , but their five bases were bronze .
