Exodus 36:20 In-Context

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.)
19 He made also a covering of the tabernacle of the skins of rams made red, and another veil above (that) of the skins of jacinth. (And they made a covering for the tent out of red rams? skins, and another covering to be placed on top of that, out of blue skins.)
20 He made also [the] standing boards of the tabernacle, of the wood of shittim; (And they made the upright boards for the Tabernacle, out of shittim wood, or acacia wood;)
21 the length of one board was of ten cubits, and the breadth held one cubit and an half. (each board was ten cubits in length, and one and a half cubits in breadth; all the boards had the same measurements.)
22 Two indentings were by each board, that the one should be joined to the tother; so he made in all the boards of the tabernacle. (And they made two tenons at the bottom of each board, so that the boards could stand upright, side-by-side; so they made all the boards for the Tabernacle.)
