15 All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[a]
16 They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set.
17 Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.
18 They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.
19 Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.[b]
20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,[c]
22 with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle
24 and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection.

Exodus 36:15-25 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 36

Bezaleel and Aholiab, with the artificers under them, having a call as well as qualifications for the service of the sanctuary, and having received from Moses the materials for it, set about it, Ex 36:1-3 but the people bringing more than was necessary, they acquaint Moses with it, who by a proclamation restrained from it, Ex 36:4-7 and next an account is given of the several things that were wrought by them, as first the curtains for the tabernacle, both of linen and goats' hair, and the coverings of them, Ex 36:8-19 next the boards for the tabernacle, and the sockets they were set in, and the bars for the boards, Ex 36:20-34 and then the vail which parted the most holy place from the holy place, and the hanging which divided between the holy place and the court, Ex 36:35-38.
