Exodus 26:1-8 ▼

1 [“] You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

2 Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide <42 ft x 6 ft / 12.8 m x 1.8 m> all curtains the same size.

3 Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

4 Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

5 Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

6 Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

7 You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

8 Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide <45 ft x 6 ft / 13.7 m x 1.8 m>.
