7
for they had abundant material for all the work; more than enough to make it
with.
8
And everyone with a wise heart among those that wrought the work made the tabernacle of ten curtains
of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, which they made of cunning work,
with cherubim.
9
The length of one curtain
was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; the curtains
were all of one size.
10
And he coupled the five curtains one unto another; and
the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11
And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain in the border in the coupling; likewise he made in the border of the second curtain in the coupling.
12
Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the second curtain in the border in the coupling, the loops in front of the others.
13
And he made fifty hooks of gold and coupled the curtains one unto another with the hooks, so it became one tabernacle.
14
Likewise he made curtains of goats’
hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.
15
The length of one curtain
was thirty cubits, and four cubits
was the breadth of one curtain; the eleven curtains
were of one size.
16
And he coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.
17
And he made fifty loops upon the edge of the uttermost curtain in the coupling, and he made another fifty loops upon the edge of the other curtain in the coupling.
18
And he also made fifty hooks
of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19
And he made a covering for the tent
of rams’ skins dyed red, and
another covering of badgers’ skins above
that.
20
And he made the boards for the tabernacle
of cedar wood, standing up.
21
The length of each board
was ten cubits, and the breadth one cubit and a half.
22
Each board had two tenons, equally distant one from another; thus did he make all the boards of the tabernacle.
23
He made, therefore, the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side towards the Negev.
24
He also made the forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25
And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side of the Aquilon, {the north wind} he made twenty boards,
26
with their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27
And for the westward side of the tabernacle he made six boards.
