Exodus 36:8-19
New American Standard Bible
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.

King James Version
8 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.
9 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.
