8 ^aAll the ^{▼▼ Lit wise of heart}skillful men among those who were performing the work made the ^{▼▼ Lit dwelling place}tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and ^{▼▼ Or violet}blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, ^{▼▼ Lit he}Bezalel made them. 9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight ^{▼▼ I.e. One cubit equals approx 18 in.}cubits and the width of each curtain four ^{▼▼ I.e. One cubit equals approx 18 in.}cubits; all the curtains had ^{▼▼ Lit one measure}the same measurements. 10 He ^{▼▼ Or coupled}joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he ^{▼▼ Or coupled}joined to one another. 11 He made loops of ^{▼▼ Or violet}blue on the edge of the ^{▼▼ Lit one curtain from the end in the coupling}outermost curtain in the first ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was ^{▼▼ Lit one curtain from the end in the coupling}outermost in the second ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set. 12 He made ^pfifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the ^{▼▼ Lit end}edge of the curtain that was in the second ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set; the loops were opposite each other. 13 He made ^sfifty clasps of gold and ^{▼▼ Or coupled}joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was ^{▼▼ Lit one}a unit.

14 Then ^vhe made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains ^{▼▼ Lit in number}in all. 15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had ^{▼▼ Lit one measure}the same measurements. 16 He ^{▼▼ Or coupled}joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves. 17 Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set. 18 He made fifty clasps of ^{▼▼ Or copper}bronze to ^{▼▼ Or couple}join the tent together so that it would be ^{▼▼ Lit one}a unit. 19 He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins ^{▼▼ Or tanned}dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above.
