Exodus 36:8-38
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.
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.

Lexham English Bible
8 And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman. 9 The length of the one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measurement was for all the curtains. 10 And he joined five of the curtains one to another,[a] and five curtains he joined one to another.[b] 11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; so he did on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. 12 He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite[c] one to another.[d] 13 And he made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains one to another[e] with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was one.
14 And he made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made them eleven curtains. 15 The length of the one curtain was thirty cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measure was for the eleven curtains. 16 And he joined five curtains together and six curtains together. 17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set. 18 And he made fifty bronze clasps for joining the tent to become one.
19 And he made a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skin and a covering of fine leather to go above.
20 And he made the frames[f] for the tabernacle of acacia wood as uprights.[g] 21 The length of the frame[h] was ten cubits, and the width of the one frame[i] was one and a half cubits. 22 He made two pegs[j] for the one frame[k] for joining one to another[l] and likewise for all the frames[m] of the tabernacle. 23 And he made the frames[n] for the tabernacle with twenty frames[o] for the south[p] side. 24 And he made forty silver bases under the twenty frames,[q] with two bases under the one frame[r] for its two pegs[s] and two bases under the next[t] frame[u] for its two pegs.[v] 25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames[w] 26 and their forty silver bases, with two bases under the one frame[x] and two bases under the next[y] frame.[z]
27 And for the rear of the tabernacle on the west[aa] he made six frames.[ab] 28 And he made two frames[ac] for the tabernacle corners at the rear. 29 And they were double at the bottom, and they were completely together on its top to the one ring; he did likewise for the two of them, for the two corners. 30 And there were eight frames[ad] and their sixteen silver bases, two bases, two bases under the one frame.[ae]
31 And he made five bars of acacia wood for the frames[af] on the one side of the tabernacle, 32 and five bars for the frames[ag] on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames[ah] at the rear on the west.[ai] 33 And he made the middle bar to run in the midst of the frames[aj] from end to end. 34 And he overlaid the frames[ak] with gold, and he made their rings of gold as holders[al] for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold. 35 And he made the curtain of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of a craftsman; he made it with cherubim. 36 And he made for it four acacia pillars, and he overlaid them with gold, with their gold hooks, and he cast for them four silver bases.
37 And he made for the entrance of the tent a screen of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, 38 and the five pillars and their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their connections with gold, and their five bases were bronze.
