5. They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make.”
6. Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing.
7. For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8. All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made them.
9. The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10. He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11. He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling.
12. He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite to one another.
13. He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
