Instructions for Making the Tabernacle

1 "And the tabernacle you will make [with] ten curtains; you will make them of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson [yarns], [with] cherubim, the work of a skilled craftsman.
2 The length of the one curtain [will be] twenty-eight cubits, and the width [will be] four cubits [for] the one curtain; one measure [will be] for all the curtains.
3 Five curtains will be joined {to one another}, and five curtains joined {to one another}.
4 And you will make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; and you will do so on the edge of the end curtain in the second set.
5 You will make fifty loops on the one curtain, and you will make fifty loops on the end of the curtain that [is] in the second set; the loops are to be opposite {to one another}.
6 And you will make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains {to one another} with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be one.
