(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. 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.

And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.

13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

17 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.

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.
