Exodus 36:14-24

14 Then they made a cover for the Tent out of eleven pieces of cloth made of goats' hair.

15 They made them all the same size, 15 yards long and 2 yards wide.

16 They sewed five of them together in one set and the other six in another set.

17 They put fifty loops on the edge of the last piece of one set and fifty loops on the edge of the other set.

18 They made fifty bronze hooks to join the two sets, so as to form one cover.

19 They made two more coverings, one of rams' skin dyed red and the other of fine leather, to serve as an outer cover.

20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the Tent.

21 Each frame was 15 feet tall and 27 inches wide,

22 with two matching projections, so that the frames could be joined together. All the frames had these projections.

23 They made twenty frames for the south side

24 and forty silver bases to go under them, two bases under each frame to hold its two projections.
