Exodus 36:8-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And all those who were wise of heart, in order to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse workmanship by the art of embroidery.

9. Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure.

10. And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another.

11. He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain,

12. so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.

13. For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.

14. He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:

15. one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.

16. Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately.

17. And he made fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, and fifty along the edge of the other canopy, so that they might be joined to one another,

18. and fifty buckles of brass, with which the roof might be woven together, so that from all the canopies there would be made one covering.

19. He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.

20. He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.

21. Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width.

22. There were two dovetails along every panel, so that one might be joined to the other. Thus did he make all the panels of the tabernacle.

23. Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,

24. with forty bases of silver. Two bases were set under one panel at each of two sides at the corners, where the joints of the sides terminate in corners.

25. Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,
