Exodus 36:19-37 New International Version (NIV)

19. Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.

20. They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

21. Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,

22. with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

23. They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle

24. and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection.

25. For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames

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

27. They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,

28. and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end.

29. At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike.

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

31. They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

32. five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.

33. They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames.

34. They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35. They made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.

36. They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases.

37. For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer;
