Exodus 36:8-17

EasyEnglish Bible

The tabernacle

⁸ All the workers who had special skills made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They used very good linen, as well as blue, purple and red material. They made beautiful pictures of cherubs on the curtains. ⁹ All the curtains were the same size: 12 metres long and 2 metres wide. ¹⁰ The workers joined five of the curtains together. They did the same thing with the other five curtains. ¹¹ They made rings of blue material along the edge of the last curtain in each set of five curtains. ¹² They put 50 rings along the edge of the first set. They put another 50 rings along the edge of the second set. The rings on one curtain were opposite to the rings on the other curtain. ¹³ They made 50 small gold hooks to join the curtains together. So a single piece of curtain made the whole tabernacle.

¹⁴ The workers used goats' hair to make 11 more curtains to cover the tabernacle, like a tent.

¹⁵ The curtains were all the same size: 13.5 metres long and 2 metres wide. ¹⁶ They joined five of the curtains together to make one set. They joined the other six curtains to make another set. ¹⁷ They used material to make 50 rings along the edge of the end curtain in each set.
