Exodus 36:28-38

28 and two frames for the corners.

29 These corner frames were joined at the bottom and connected all the way to the top. The two frames that formed the two corners were made in this way.

30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases, two under each frame.

31 They made fifteen crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the Tent,

32 five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west end, at the back.

33 The middle crossbar, set halfway up the frames, extended from one end of the Tent to the other.

34 They covered the frames with gold and fitted them with gold rings to hold the crossbars, which were also covered with gold.

35 They made a curtain of fine linen, woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered it with figures of winged creatures.

36 They made four posts of acacia wood to hold the curtain, covered them with gold, and fitted them with gold hooks. Then they made four silver bases to hold the posts.

37 For the entrance of the Tent they made a curtain of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool and decorated with embroidery.

38 For this curtain they made five posts fitted with hooks, covered their tops and their rods with gold, and made five bronze bases for the posts.
