Exodus 26:4-17 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. Make loops of blue cloth down the edge of the end piece of each set.

5. Make 50 loops on the end piece of the first set. And make 50 loops on the end piece of the second set. These loops must be opposite each other.

6. And make 50 gold hooks. Use these to join the two sets of cloth. This will make the Holy Tent one piece.

7. “Then make another tent that will cover the Holy Tent. Make this tent of 11 pieces of cloth made from goat hair.

8. All these pieces of cloth must be the same size. They must be 45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

9. Sew five of the pieces together into one set. Then sew the other six pieces together into the second set. Fold the sixth piece double over the front of the Tent.

10. Make 50 loops down the edge of the end piece of one set. Do the same for the end piece of the other set.

11. Then make 50 bronze hooks. Put these in the loops to join the two sets of cloth. This will make the covering one piece.

12. Let the extra half piece of cloth hang over the back of the Holy Tent.

13. There will be 18 inches hanging over the sides of the Holy Tent. This will protect the Tent.

14. Make two more coverings for the Holy Tent. One should be made from male sheep skins colored red. The outer covering should be from fine leather.

15. “Use acacia wood to make upright frames for the Holy Tent.

16. Each frame must be 15 feet long and 27 inches wide.

17. Every frame must be made the same way. There must be two pegs side by side in each frame.
