4 Loops of hyacinth thou shalt make in the sides & tops of the curtains, that they may be coupled one to another.📜💬📚
5 Fifty loops shall every curtain have on both sides, so set on, that one loop may be against another loop, and one may be fitted to the other.📜💬📚
6 Thou shalt make also fifty circles of gold wherewith the veils of the curtains are to be joined, that it may be made one tabernacle.📜💬📚

7 Thou shalt make also eleven curtains of hair, to cover the top of the tabernacle.📜💬📚
8 The length of one hair curtain shall have thirty cubits: and the breadth, four: the measure of all the curtains shall be equal.📜💬📚
9 Of the which, five thou shalt join apart, and the six thou shalt couple one to an other, so that the sixth curtain in the front of the roof thou shalt double.📜💬📚

16 of the which let every one have ten cubits in length, and in breadth one and a half a-piece.📜💬📚
17 In the sides of the board, shall be made two mortises, whereby one board may be joined to an other board: and after this manner shall all the boards be prepared.📜💬📚

21 having forty feet of silver, two feet shall be put under every board.📜💬📚

23 and again other two which shall be erected in the corners at the back of the tabernacle.📜💬📚
24 And they shall be joined together from beneath unto the top, & one jointure shall hold them all. The like jointure shall be kept for the two boards also that are to be put in the corners.📜💬📚
25 And they shall be in all eight boards, their silver feet sixteen, two feet accounted for every board.📜💬📚
26 Thou shalt make also five bars of the wood setim, to hold together the boards on the one side of the tabernacle,📜💬📚
27 and five others on the other side, & as many at the west side:📜💬📚
28 which shall be put along by the midst of the boards from one end to the other.📜💬📚
29 The boards also themselves thou shalt plate with gold, & shalt cast rings of gold to be set upon them, through which the bars may hold together the boardwork: the which thou shalt cover with plates of gold.📜💬📚
30 And thou shalt erect the tabernacle according to the pattern that was shewed thee in the Mount.📜💬📚

31 Thou shalt make also a veil of hyacinth, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and twisted silk, wrought with embroidered work & goodly variety:📜💬📚
32 which thou shalt hang before four pillars of the wood setim, the which themselves also shall be plated with gold, & shall have four heads of gold, but feet of silver.📜💬📚
