Exodus 36
1 Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.
"Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom YHWH has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that YHWH has commanded."
2 And when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,
Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart God had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:
3 He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.
and they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.
4 Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,
All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.
5 Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which YHWH commanded to make."
6 Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,
Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing.
7 Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8 And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:
All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made them.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.
The length of each curtain was forty-eight feet three inches, and the breadth of each curtain six feet eleven inches. All the curtains were the same size.
10 And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.
He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
11 He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,
He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.
12 That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.
He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite one to another.
13 Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.
He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
14 He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
He made curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
15 One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.
The length of each curtain was fifty-one feet eight inches, and six feet eleven inches the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains were the same size.
16 Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.
He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.
18 And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.
19 He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.
He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
20 He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.
21 The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.
Seventeen feet three inches was the length of a board, and two feet seven inches the breadth of each board.
22 There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.
23 Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.
24 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.
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.
25 At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.
For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
26 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,
For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.
29 Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:
They were double beneath, and in like manner they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did thus to both of them in the two corners.
30 So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
There were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.
31 He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,
He made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the rear westward.
33 He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.
He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.
34 And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.
He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.
36 And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.
He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.
37 He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.
He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
38 And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.
