New American Standard Bible 1995
Construction Proceeds
8 (A)All the [a]skillful men among those who were performing 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 workman, [d]Bezalel made them. 9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight [e]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 [r]a unit.
14 Then (D)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains [s]in all. 15 The length of each curtain was 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.
