7. “Make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether.

8. All eleven curtains are to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

9. Join five of the curtains together into one set and the other six into another set. Fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.

10. Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.

11. Then make fifty bronze clasps and put them in the loops to fasten the tent together as a unit.

13. The tent curtains will be a cubit longer on both sides; what is left will hang over the sides of the tabernacle so as to cover it.

15. “Make upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

21. and forty silver bases—two under each frame.

22. Make six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
