One cubit equals approx 18 in.}cubits and the width of each curtain four ^{▼▼ I.e. One cubit equals approx 18 in.}cubits; all the curtains had ^{▼▼ Lit one measure}the same measurements. 10 He ^{▼▼ Or coupled}joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he ^{▼▼ Or coupled}joined to one another. 11 He made loops of ^{▼▼ Or violet}blue on the edge of the ^{▼▼ Lit one curtain from the end in the coupling}outermost curtain in the first ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was ^{▼▼ Lit one curtain from the end in the coupling}outermost in the second ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set. 12 He made ^pfifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the ^{▼▼ Lit end}edge of the curtain that was in the second ^{▼▼ Lit coupling}set; the loops were opposite each other. 13 He made ^sfifty clasps of gold and ^{▼▼ Or coupled}joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was ^{▼▼ Lit one}a unit.
