New Living Translation (NLT)
Exodus 26
6 Then make fifty gold clasps and fasten the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle will be made of one continuous piece.
7 “Make eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.
8 These eleven curtains must all be exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.
9 Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent.
10 Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain.
11 Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece.
12 The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle.
13 Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.
14 Complete the tent covering with a protective layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.
15 “For the framework of the Tabernacle, construct frames of acacia wood.
16 Each frame must be 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
