11. Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece.
12. The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle.
13. Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.
14. Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.
15. “For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.
16. Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,
17. with two pegs under each frame. Make all the frames identical.
18. Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.
19. Also make forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.
20. For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,
21. with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.
22. Make six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—
23. along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.
24. These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way.
25. So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.
26. “Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle
27. and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.
