Exodus 36:8-38
Legacy Standard Bible

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.

20 (E)Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 21 Ten cubits was the length of [ab]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 22 There were two tenons for each board, [ac]fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [ad]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 For the [ae]rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. 28 And he made two boards for the corners of the [af]tabernacle at the [ag]rear. 29 And they were [ah]separated beneath, but were together at their completion at the [ai]top, [aj]at the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners. 30 And 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 [ak]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the [al]rear side to the west. 33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the [am]center of the boards from end to end. 34 He also 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 [an]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer. 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 And he made a (H)screen for the doorway of the tent, of [ao]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a [ap]weaver; 38 and he made its (I)five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their [aq]bands with gold; but their five bases were of [ar]bronze.

Exodus 36:8-38
New International Version

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.
