Exodus 36:29-38

29 These two frames were doubled at the bottom and joined at the top with a metal ring. They did this for each of these corners.

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

31 Then they made crossbars of acacia wood to connect the upright frames of the Holy Tent. Five crossbars held the frames together on one side of the Tent,

32 and five held the frames together on the other side. Also, five crossbars held the frames together on the west end, at the rear of the Tent.

33 They made the middle crossbar run along the entire length of each side and rear of the Tent. It was set halfway up the frames.

34 They made gold rings on the sides of the frames to hold the crossbars, and they covered the frames and the crossbars with gold.

35 Then they made the curtain of blue, purple, and red thread, and fine linen. A skilled craftsman sewed designs of creatures with wings on it.

36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and covered them with gold. Then they made gold hooks for the posts, as well as four silver bases in which to set the posts.

37 For the entrance to the Tent, they made a curtain of blue, purple, and red thread, and fine linen. A person who sewed well sewed designs on it.

38 Then they made five posts and hooks for it. They covered the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and they made five bronze bases for the posts.
