And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.
4
Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,
5
and they spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do."
6
So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary." And the people were restrained from bringing,
7
for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done--indeed too much.
8
Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them.
9
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all the same size.

And he coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11
He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set; likewise he did on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set.
12
Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain on the end of the second set; the loops held one curtain to another.
13
And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps, that it might be one tabernacle.
