Exodus 26:1-3
Wycliffe Bible
26 Forsooth the tabernacle shall be made thus; thou shalt make ten curtains of bis folded again, and of jacinth, and of purple, and of red silk twice-dyed, made diverse by embroidery work. (And the Tabernacle shall be made thus; thou shalt make ten curtains out of finely woven linen, and jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and embroider them with cherubim.)
2 The length of one curtain shall have eight and twenty cubits, the breadth shall be of four cubits; all the curtains[a] shall be made of one measure. (The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth shall be four cubits; all the curtains shall have the same measurements.)
3 Five curtains shall be joined to themselves together, and other five shall cleave together by like bond. (Five curtains shall be joined to each other in one set, and another five shall be joined together in another set.)

- Exodus 26:2 In the original text, throughout the rest of Exodus, “curtain/s” and “tent/s” are used interchangeably. To avoid confusion, and to enhance comprehension, only “curtain/s” will be used in this context. As well, “say/s” and “serge/s” are also used for “curtain/s”; they appear in this text where they appear in the original text.
