The Outer Covering of Goats' Hair

Exodus 26:7-14

You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

Make fifty bronze clasps and put them through the loops to join the tent together as a unit.

As for the overlap that remains of the tent curtains, the half curtain that is left over shall hang down over the back of the tabernacle.

And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.

Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
