New King James Version
Building the Tabernacle(A)
8 (B)Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them. 9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all the same size. 10 And he coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another. 11 He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set; likewise he did on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set. 12 (C)Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain on the end of the second set; the loops held one curtain to another. 13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps, that it might be one tabernacle.
14 (D)He made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains. 15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains were the same size. 16 He coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. 17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set. 18 He also made fifty bronze clasps to couple the tent together, that it might be one. 19 (E)Then he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of [a]badger skins above that.
20 For the tabernacle (F)he made boards of acacia wood, standing upright. 21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board a cubit and a half. 22 Each board had two [b]tenons (G)for binding one to another. Thus he made for all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 And he made boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side. 24 Forty sockets of silver he made to go under the twenty boards: two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons. 25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards 26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under each of the boards. 27 For the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards. 28 He also made two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle. 29 And they were coupled at the bottom and [c]coupled together at the top by one ring. Thus he made both of them for the two corners. 30 So there were eight boards and their sockets—sixteen sockets of silver—two sockets under each of the boards.
31 And he made (H)bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle, 32 five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle on the far side westward. 33 And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one end to the other. 34 He overlaid the boards with gold, made their rings of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 And he made (I)a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen; it was worked with an artistic design of cherubim. 36 He made for it four pillars of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them.
37 He also made a (J)screen for the tabernacle door, of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a [d]weaver, 38 and its five pillars with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their rings with gold, but their five sockets were bronze.

Exodus 36:8-38
Young's Literal Translation
8 And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the tabernacle; ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubs, work of a designer, he hath made them.
9 The length of the one curtain [is] eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit; one measure [is] to all the curtains.
10 And he joineth the five curtains one unto another, and the [other] five curtains he hath joined one unto another;
11 and he maketh loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he hath made in the edge of the outmost curtain, in the joining of the second;
12 fifty loops he hath made in the one curtain, and fifty loops hath he made in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold one on another.
13 And he maketh fifty hooks of gold, and joineth the curtains one unto another by the hooks, and the tabernacle is one.
14 And he maketh curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he hath made them;
15 the length of the one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain [is] four cubits; one measure [is] to the eleven curtains;
16 and he joineth the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.
17 And he maketh fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and fifty loops he hath made on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;
18 and he maketh fifty hooks of brass to join the tent -- to be one;
19 and he maketh a covering for the tent of rams' skins made red, and a covering of badgers' skins above.
20 And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up;
21 ten cubits [is] the length of the [one] board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the [one] board;
22 two handles [are] to the one board, joined one unto another; so he hath made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward;
24 and forty sockets of silver he hath made under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.
25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side, he hath made twenty boards,
26 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board;
27 and for the sides of the tabernacle, westward, hath he made six boards;
28 and two boards hath he made for the corners of the tabernacle, in the two sides;
29 and they have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at the one ring; so he hath done to both of them at the two corners;
30 and there have been eight boards; and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board.
31 And he maketh bars of shittim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle, for the sides westward;
33 and he maketh the middle bar to enter into the midst of the boards from end to end;
34 and the boards he hath overlaid with gold, and their rings he hath made of gold, places for bars, and he overlayeth the bars with gold.
35 And he maketh the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer he hath made it, [with] cherubs;
36 and he maketh for it four pillars of shittim [wood], and overlayeth them with gold; their pegs [are] of gold; and he casteth for them four sockets of silver.
37 And he maketh a covering for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer,
38 also its five pillars, and their pegs; and he overlaid their tops and their fillets [with] gold, and their five sockets [are] brass.

Construction Begins
8 (A)All the [a]skillful people among those who were performing the work made the [b]tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and [c]violet, purple, and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer, [d]Bezalel made them. 9 The length of each curtain was [e]twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had [f]the same measurements. 10 He [g]joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he [h]joined to one another. 11 And he made loops of violet on the edge of the [i]outermost curtain in the first [j]set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was [k]outermost in the second [l]set. 12 He made (B)fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the [m]edge of the curtain that was in the second [n]set; the loops were opposite each other. 13 He also made (C)fifty clasps of gold, and [o]joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was [p]a unit.
14 Then (D)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he [q]made eleven curtains in all. 15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had [r]the same measurements. 16 He [s]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 [t]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second [u]set. 18 He also made fifty clasps of [v]bronze to [w]join the tent together so that it would be [x]a unit. 19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins [y]dyed red, and a covering of [z]fine leather above.
20 (E)Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 21 Ten cubits was the length of [aa]each board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 22 There were two tenons for each board, [ab]fitted to one another; he did this to all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 So he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [ac]for the south side; 24 and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons. 25 Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, 26 and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board. 27 And for the [ad]back of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. 28 He made two boards for the corners of the [ae]tabernacle at the [af]back. 29 They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its [ag]top, [ah]to the first ring; he did this with both of them for the two corners. 30 There were eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases, two bases under every board.
31 Then he made (F)bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 32 and five bars for the boards of the [ai]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the [aj]back side to the west. 33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the [ak]center of the boards from end to end. 34 Then he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 (G)Moreover, he made the veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 36 And he made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four bases of silver for them. 37 He also made a (H)curtain for the doorway of the tent, of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a [al]weaver; 38 and he made its (I)five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their [am]bands with gold; but their five bases were of [an]bronze.

The Tabernacle(A)
8 All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands. 9 All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] 10 They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five. 11 Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set. 12 They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 13 Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.(B)
14 They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 15 All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[b] 16 They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set. 17 Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 18 They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.(C) 19 Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.[c]
20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,[d] 22 with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 24 and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 25 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames 26 and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 27 They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 28 and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end. 29 At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike. 30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
31 They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 32 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 33 They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames. 34 They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
35 They made the curtain(D) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. 36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases. 37 For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer;(E) 38 and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.
