Put loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in each set.
Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one another.
The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain are to match the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.
And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single whole.

The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains shall be the same size.
You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and the sixth curtain you shall double over at the front of the tent.
You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.

“You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together that it may be a single whole.

And the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.
And the extra that remains in the length of the curtains, the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.
Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.
“You shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.
“For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.
Ten cubits shall be the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.
There shall be two tenons in each frame, for fitting together. So shall you do for all the frames of the tabernacle.

You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side;
Make twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.

Also make forty silver bases — two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.
and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty frames,
For the north side of the Tabernacle, make another twenty frames,
and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame, and two bases under the next frame.

And you shall make two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear;
along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.
they shall be separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring. Thus shall it be with both of them; they shall form the two corners.
These corner frames will be matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Make both of these corner units the same way.
And there shall be eight frames, with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one frame, and two bases under another frame.
So there will be eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases — two bases under each frame.
“You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,
“Make crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle
and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward.
and five for the south side. Also make five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which will face west.
The middle bar, halfway up the frames, shall run from end to end.
The middle crossbar, attached halfway up the frames, will run all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.
You shall overlay the frames with gold and shall make their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold.

Hang this curtain on gold hooks attached to four posts of acacia wood. Overlay the posts with gold, and set them in four silver bases.
And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy.
You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place.
“Then put the Ark’s cover — the place of atonement — on top of the Ark of the Covenant inside the Most Holy Place.
And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side.
Place the table outside the inner curtain on the north side of the Tabernacle, and place the lampstand across the room on the south side.
“You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework.
“Make another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. Make it of finely woven linen and embroider it with exquisite designs, using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
