Exodus 26:1-8 ▼

1 “You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains. You must make them of finely spun linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.

2 Each curtain should be forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the curtains are to have the same measurements.

3 Five of the curtains should be joined together, and the other five curtains joined together.

4 Make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.

5 Make fifty loops on the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together.

6 Also make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.

7 “You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make eleven of these curtains.

8 Each curtain should be forty-five feet long and six feet wide. All eleven curtains are to have the same measurements.
