line that he has marked. | Then he doubles it up in the middle of 
the long side and bends it over, and he steps onit, | so that the sides 
30 may be close together. Then he punches holes through the edges || two 
finger-widths apart. That is| where the cord will pass through when 
he sews it; and when | it is finished, he puts the straight-edge of 
cedar-wood on a piece two | spans wide and marks a line on it, and 
35 cuts along it. | This piece is seven spans in length. || Itis to be the 
carrying-strap for the wedge-bag, and he | puts on the straight-edge
