The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Exodus 36: 17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the first set, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second set.
Exodus 36: 18 And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
Exodus 36: 19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above.
Exodus 36: 20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up.
Exodus 36: 21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.
Exodus 36: 22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. Thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Exodus 36: 23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward.
Exodus 36: 24 And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
Exodus 36: 25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
Exodus 36: 26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
Exodus 36: 27 And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
