14 He made also eleven says of the hairs of goats, to cover the roof of the tabernacle; (And they made eleven curtains out of goats? hair, to make a tent over the Tabernacle;)
15 one say had thirty cubits in length, [and] four cubits in breadth; all the says were of one measure; (each of these curtains was thirty cubits in length, and four cubits in breadth; all of the curtains had the same measurements;)
16 of which says he joined (together) five by themselves, and six others by themselves. (and they joined five of these curtains together in one set, and the other six together in another set.)
17 And he made fifty eyelets in the hem of one say, and fifty in the hem of the tother say, that those should be joined to themselves together; (And they made fifty eyelets on the outer edge of the last curtain in the first set, and fifty eyelets on the joining edge of the second set, so that the two sets could be joined together;)
18 and he made fifty buckles of brass by which the roof was fastened together, that one covering were made of all the says. (and they made fifty bronze fasteners, which they used to join together the eyelets of the two sets of curtains, and so one tent was made out of all the curtains.)
