^8 (A)And all those ^[a]wise at heart among those who were doing the work made the ^[b]tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and ^[c]blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer, ^[d]Bezalel made them. ⁹ The length of each curtain was ^[e]twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four ^[f]cubits; all the curtains had ^[g]the same measurements. ¹⁰ He ^[h]joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he ^[i]joined to one another. ¹¹ He made loops of ^[j]blue on the edge of the ^[k]outermost curtain in the first ^[l]set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was ^[m]outermost in the second ^[n]set. ¹² He made ^(B)fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the ^[o]edge of the curtain that was in the second ^[p]set; the loops were opposite each other. ¹³ He made ^(C)fifty clasps of gold and ^[q]joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was one unit.

¹⁴ Then ^(D)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains ^[r]in all. ¹⁵ The length of each curtain was ^[s]thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had ^[t]the same measurements. ¹⁶ He ^[u]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 ^[v]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second ^[w]set. ¹⁸ He made fifty clasps of ^[x]bronze to ^[y]join the tent together so that it would be ^[z]a unit. ¹⁹ He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins ^[aa]dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.
