1. Moreover you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet. Make them with cherubim, the work of a skilled workman.

2. The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. All of the curtains shall have the same measurements.

3. Five curtains shall be joined together, one to another. And the other five curtains are to be joined, one to another.

4. You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the end curtain in one set, and likewise you shall make loops in the outermost edge of the end curtain in the second set.

5. You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second set. The loops are to be opposite to one another.

6. You shall make fifty clasps of gold and join the curtains together with the clasps so that the tabernacle shall be one unit.

7. You shall make curtains of goats’ hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.

8. The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits, and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measure.
