11. Make fifty copper clasps. Put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it becomes one whole structure.

12. The extra cloth that is left over from the tent curtains, that is, the half curtain that remains, should hang over the back of the dwelling.

13. Eighteen inches on one side and eighteen inches on the other side of the leftover length of the tent’s curtains will hang over the two sides of the dwelling to cover it.

14. Then for the tent, make a covering of rams’ skins dyed red and an outer covering of beaded leather.

15. Make acacia-wood boards to stand upright as a frame for the dwelling.

16. Each board will be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.

17. Put two pegs on each board for joining them to each other. Do this for all the dwelling’s boards.

18. Make twenty boards for the dwelling’s southern side.

19. Then make forty silver bases to go under the twenty boards. There will be two bases under the first board for its two pegs, two bases under the next board for its two pegs, and so on.

20. For the dwelling’s other side on the north, make twenty boards

21. and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.

22. For the back of the dwelling on the west, make six boards.

23. Make two additional boards for the dwelling’s rear corners.

24. They should be spread out at the bottom but joined together at the top with one ring. In this way, these two boards will form the two corners.
