The Ten Curtains for the Tabernacle

(Exodus 36:8–13)

You are to construct the tabernacle [itself] [with] ten curtains of finely spun linen, [each] with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn [and] cherubim skillfully worked into them. 2 Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide[fn] — all curtains the same size.

3 

Five of the curtains are to be joined together and the other five joined [as well] 4 Make loops of blue [material] on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same vvv for the end curtain in the second set.

5 

Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another. 6 Make fifty gold clasps {as well}, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.
