17. He made fifty loops for the edge of each large curtain.
18. He also made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the long curtains together. In this way, the tent covering was made of one continuous piece.
19. He completed the tent covering with a layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.
20. For the framework of the Tabernacle, Bezalel constructed frames of acacia wood.
21. Each frame was 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,
22. with two pegs under each frame. All the frames were identical.
23. He made twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.
24. He also made forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.
25. For the north side of the Tabernacle, he made another twenty frames,
26. with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.
27. He made six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—
28. along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.
29. These corner frames were matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Both of these corner units were made the same way.
30. So there were eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.
31. Then he made crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle
32. and five for the south side. He also made five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which faced west.
