Exodus 26:1-14 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Furnish the sacred tent with curtains made from ten pieces of the finest linen. They must be woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures.

2. Make each piece twelve metres long and two metres wide

3. and sew them together into two curtains with five sections each.

4-6. Put fifty loops of blue cloth along one of the wider sides of each curtain, then fasten the two curtains at the loops with fifty gold hooks.

7-8. As the material for the tent, use goat hair to weave eleven sections thirteen metres by two metres each.

9. Sew five of the sections together to make one panel. Then sew the other six together to make a second panel, and fold the sixth section double over the front of the tent.

10. Put fifty loops along one of the wider sides of each panel

11. and fasten the two panels at the loops with fifty bronze hooks.

12-13. The panel of goat hair will be a metre longer than the tent itself, so fold fifty centimetres of the material behind the tent and on each side as a protective covering.

14. Make two more coverings—one with ram skins dyed red and the other with fine leather.
