“[Tell the people to] make the Sacred Tent using ten long strips of fine linen. They must take blue, purple, and red thread (OR, weave the strips from blue, purple, and red thread), and [a skilled craftsman] must embroider these strips with [designs that represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
2 Imthung pakaahaih kahni loe dong pumphae tazetto sawk moe, dong palito kawk han oh; imthung pakaahaih kahni loe dong tahhaih anghmong boih han oh.
Each strip is to be (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
3 Imthung pakaahaih kahni pangato pacong boih ah loe, kalah kahni pangato doeh pacong bae ah.
[Tell them to] sew five strips together to make one set, and sew the other five strips together to make another set.

For each set, [they must] make loops of blue [cloth] and fasten them along the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
5 Payang ih kahni maeto pongah kangbuet luet akhaw qui pangato sah loe, kalah kahni paconghaih ahmuen ah doeh kangbuet luet akhaw qui pangato sah let ah.
[They must] put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.

[Tell them to] make 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. As a result, the inside of the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.

[Tell them to] make fifty bronze clasps/fasteners and put them in the cloth loops to join the two sets together. As a result, the cover for the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
12 Kahni im ah payang ih kamtlai kahni ahap loe, kahni im hnukbang ah bang ah.
[Let] the extra part of the cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth], hang over the back of the Sacred Tent.
13 Kahni im ah payang ih kamthlai kahni loe maeto bangah kasawk dong maeto, kalah maeto bangah doeh kasawk dong maeto om tih; to tiah kamtlai kahni hoiah kahni im to khuk ah.
The extra half yard/meter of each cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth] on each side, must hang over the two sides of the Sacred Tent, to protect the sides.
