New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Exodus 36
⁴ And all the skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing,
⁵ and they said to Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the construction work which the Lord commanded us to perform."
⁶ So Moses issued a command, and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the contributions of the sanctuary." Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more.
⁷ For the material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.
⁸ All the skillful men among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, Bezalel made them.
⁹ The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same measurements.
¹⁰ He joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he joined to one another.
¹¹ He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.
¹² He made fifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite each other.
¹³ He made fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was a unit.
¹⁴ Then he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all.
