5 They said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the Lord commanded us to do."
6 Then Moses gave an order. A message was sent through the whole camp. It said, "No man or woman should make anything else and offer it for the holy tent." And so the people were kept from bringing more offerings.
7 There was already more than enough to do all of the work.
8 All of the skilled workers made the holy tent. They made ten curtains out of finely twisted linen. They made them with blue, purple and bright red yarn. A skilled worker sewed cherubim into the pattern.
9 All of the curtains were the same size. They were 42 feet long and six feet wide.
10 The workers joined five of the curtains together. They did the same thing with the other five.
11 Then they made loops out of blue strips of cloth along the edge of the end curtain in one set. They did the same thing with the end curtain in the other set.
