4
so that all the artisans who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task being performed,

6

7

All those with skill among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains; they were made of fine twisted linen, and blue, purple, and crimson yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked into them.
9

He joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he joined to one another.
11
He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set; likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set;
12
he made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite one another.
13
And he made fifty clasps of gold, and joined the curtains one to the other with clasps; so the tabernacle was one whole.
