¹⁴He then made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle — eleven curtains in all. ¹⁵Each of the eleven curtains was the same size — thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.^b ¹⁶He joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. ¹⁷He made 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. ¹⁸He also made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a unit.

¹⁹Additionally, he made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.^c
