5. Make 50 loops on the one curtain and make 50 loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together.

6. Also make 50 gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.

7. “You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make 11 of these curtains.

8. The length of each curtain should be 45 feet and the width of each curtain six feet. All 11 curtains are to have the same measurements.

9. Join five of the curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. Then fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.

10. Make 50 loops on the edge of the one curtain, the outermost in the first set, and make 50 loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain of the second set.

11. Make 50 bronze clasps; put the clasps through the loops and join the tent together so that it is a single unit.

12. As for the flap that is left over from the tent curtains, the leftover half curtain is to hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

13. The half yard on one side and the half yard on the other of what is left over along the length of the tent curtains should be hanging down over the sides of the tabernacle on either side to cover it.

14. Make a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of manatee skins on top of that.

15. “You are to make upright planks of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

16. The length of each plank is to be 15 feet, and the width of each plank 27 inches.

17. Each plank must be connected together with two tenons. Do the same for all the planks of the tabernacle.

18. Make the planks for the tabernacle as follows: 20 planks for the south side,

19. and make 40 silver bases under the 20 planks, two bases under the first plank for its two tenons, and two bases under the next plank for its two tenons;
