Exodus 26:1-14
The Tabernacle
26:1 “The tabernacle itself you are to make with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet; you are to make them with cherubim that are the work of an artistic designer.
26:2 The length of each curtain is to be forty-two feet, and the width of each curtain is to be six feet – the same size for each of the curtains.
26:3 Five curtains are to be joined, one to another, and the other five curtains are to be joined, one to another.
26:4 You are to make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and in the same way you are to make loops in the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.
26:5 You are to make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you are to make fifty loops on the end curtain which is on the second set, so that the loops are opposite one to another.
26:6 You are to make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle is a unit.
26:7 “You are to make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; you are to make eleven curtains.
26:8 The length of each curtain is to be forty-five feet, and the width of each curtain is to be six feet – the same size for the eleven curtains.
26:9 You are to join five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. You are to double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.
26:10 You are to make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joins the second set.
26:11 You are to make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it is a unit.
26:12 Now the part that remains of the curtains of the tent – the half curtain that remains will hang over at the back of the tabernacle.
26:13 The foot and a half on the one side and the foot and a half on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent will hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on one side and the other side, to cover it.
26:14 “You are to make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather.
