17. Fifty loops were put along one of the wider sides of each panel,

18. and the two panels were fastened at the loops with fifty bronze hooks.

19. Two other coverings were made—one with fine leather and the other with ram skins dyed red.

20. Acacia wood was used to build the framework for the walls of the sacred tent.

21. Each frame was four metres high and sixty-six centimetres wide

22-26. with two wooden pegs near the bottom. Then two silver stands were placed under each frame with sockets for the pegs, so they could be joined together. Twenty of these frames were used along the south side and twenty more along the north.

27. Six frames were used for the back wall along the west side

28-29. with two more at the south-west and north-west corners. These corner frames were joined from top to bottom.

30. Altogether, along the back wall there were eight frames with two silver stands under each of them.

31-33. Five crossbars were made for each of the wooden frames, with the centre crossbar running the full length of the wall.

34. The frames and crossbars were covered with gold, and gold rings were attached to the frames to run the crossbars through.
