5 “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work the Lord commanded.”
6 Then Moses sent this command throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as a gift for the Holy Tent.” So the people were kept from giving more.
7 What they had was already more than enough to do all the work.
8 Then the skilled workers made the Holy Tent. They made the ten pieces of blue, purple and red cloth. And they sewed designs of creatures with wings on the pieces.
9 Each piece was the same size. It was 42 feet long and 6 feet wide.
10 Five of the pieces were fastened together to make one set. The other five were fastened together to make another set.
11 Then they made loops of blue cloth along the edge of the end piece on the first set of five. They did the same thing with the other set of five.
