New Testament

Exodus 36:11-30 New Century Version (NCV)

11. Then they made loops of blue cloth along the edge of the end curtain on the first set of five, and they did the same thing with the other set of five.

12. There were fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the other curtain, with the loops opposite each other.

13. They made fifty gold hooks to join the two curtains together so that the Holy Tent was joined together as one piece.

14. Then the workers made another tent of eleven curtains made of goat hair, to put over the Holy Tent.

15. All eleven curtains were the same size—forty-five feet long and six feet wide.

16. The workers sewed five curtains together into one set and six together into another set.

17. They made fifty loops along the edge of the outside curtain of one set and fifty loops along the edge of the outside curtain of the other set.

18. Then they made fifty bronze rings to join the two sets of cloth together and make the tent one piece.

19. They made two more coverings for the outer tent—one made of male sheepskins colored red and the other made of fine leather.

20. Then they made upright frames of acacia wood for the Holy Tent.

21. Each frame was fifteen feet tall and twenty-seven inches wide,

22. and there were two pegs side by side on each one. Every frame of the Holy Tent was made this same way.

23. They made twenty frames for the south side of the Tent,

24. and they made forty silver bases that went under the twenty frames. There were two bases for every frame—one for each peg of each frame.

25. They also made twenty frames for the north side of the Holy Tent

26. and forty silver bases—two to go under each frame.

27. They made six frames for the rear or west end of the Holy Tent

28. and two frames for the corners at the rear of the Holy Tent.

29. These two frames were doubled at the bottom and joined at the top with a metal ring. They did this for each of these corners.

30. So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.
