12 He made 1fifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite each other.
13 He made 2fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was a unit.
14 Then 3he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven * curtains in all.
15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven * curtains had the same measurements.
16 He joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves.
17 Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.
18 He made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent together so that it would be a unit.
19 He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above *.
20 4Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.
21 Ten cubits was the length of each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.
22 There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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.
