New Living Translation (NLT)
Exodus 36
6 So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings.
7 Their contributions were more than enough to complete the whole project.
8 The skilled craftsmen made ten curtains of finely woven linen for the Tabernacle. Then Bezalel decorated the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.
9 All ten curtains were exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.
10 Five of these curtains were joined together to make one long curtain, and the other five were joined to make a second long curtain.
11 He made fifty loops of blue yarn and put them along the edge of the last curtain in each set.
12 The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain matched the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.
13 Then he made fifty gold clasps and fastened the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle was made of one continuous piece.
14 He made eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.
15 These eleven curtains were all exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.
16 Bezalel joined five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and the other six were joined to make a second long curtain.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
