< Exodus 36 >

1 Then wrought Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all cunning men, to whome the Lord gaue wisedome, and vnderstanding, to knowe howe to worke all maner worke for the seruice of the Sanctuarie, according to all that the Lord had commanded.
And Beseleel wrought, and Eliab and every one wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and knowledge, to understand to do all the works according to the holy offices, according to all things which the Lord appointed.
2 For Moses had called Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all the wise hearted men, in whose heartes the Lord had giuen wisedome, euen as many as their hearts encouraged to come vnto that worke to worke it.
And Moses called Beseleel and Eliab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God gave knowledge in [their] heart, and all who were freely willing to come forward to the works, to perform them.
3 And they receiued of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the worke of the seruice of the Sanctuary, to make it: also they brought still vnto him free giftes euery morning.
And they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary to do them; and they continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in the morning.
4 So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy worke, came euery man from his worke which they wrought,
And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they wrought.
5 And spake to Moses, saying, The people bring too much, and more then ynough for the vse of the worke, which the Lord hath commanded to be made.
And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance [too great] in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed [them] to do.
6 Then Moses gaue a commandement, and they caused it to be proclaymed throughout the hoste, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more worke for the oblation of the Sanctuarie. So the people were stayed from offring.
And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labour for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more.
7 For the stuffe they had, was sufficient for all the worke to make it, and too much.
And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides.
8 All the cunning men therefore among the workemen, made for the Tabernacle ten curtaines of fine twined linnen, and of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet: Cherubims of broydred worke made they vpon them.
And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
9 The length of one curtaine was twentie and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtaine foure cubites: and the curtaines were all of one cise.
And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
10 And he coupled fiue curtaines together, and other fiue coupled he together.
And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work;
11 And he made strings of blewe silke by the edge of one curtaine, in the seluedge of the coupling: likewise he made on the side of the other curtaine in the seluedge in the second coupling.
shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another.
12 Fiftie strings made he in the one curtaine, and fiftie strings made he in the edge of the other curtaine, which was in the second coupling: the strings were set one against another.
They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses;
13 After, he made fiftie taches of golde, and coupled the curtaines one to another with the taches: so was it one Tabernacle.
and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel;
14 Also he made curtaines of goates heare for the couering vpon the Tabernacle: he made them to the nomber of eleuen curtaines.
and he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, [as] stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses.
15 The length of one curtaine had thirtie cubites, and the bredth of one curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines were of one cise.
And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
16 And hee coupled fiue curtaines by themselues, and sixe curtaines by themselues:
They made the oracle square [and] double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span, —double.
17 Also he made fiftie strings vpon the edge of one curtaine in the seluedge in the coupling, and fiftie strings made hee vpon the edge of the other curtaine in the second coupling.
And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald;
18 He made also fiftie taches of brasse to couple the couering that it might be one.
and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper;
19 And he made a couering vpon the pauilion of rams skinnes dyed red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.
and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst;
20 Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of Shittim wood to stand vp.
and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold.
21 The length of a board was ten cubites, and the bredth of one board was a cubite, and an halfe.
And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes.
22 One board had two tenons, set in order as the feete of a ladder, one against another: thus made he for all the boardes of the Tabernacle.
And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold,
23 So he made twentie boardes for the South side of the Tabernacle, euen full South.
and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings.
24 And fourtie sockets of siluer made he vnder the twentie boardes, two sockets vnder one board for his two tenons, and two sockets vnder another board for his two tenons.
And they put the two golden rings on both the [upper] corners of the oracle;
25 Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twentie boards,
and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, and the two wreaths into the two couplings.
26 And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one board, and two sockets vnder another boarde.
And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite [each other] in front.
27 Likewise toward the Westside of the Tabernacle he made sixe boardes.
And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within.
28 And two boardes made he in the corners of the Tabernacle, for either side,
And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod.
29 And they were ioyned beneath, and likewise were made sure aboue with a ring: thus he did to both in both corners.
And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with [a string] of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 So there were eight boards and their sixteene sockets of siluer, vnder euery board two sockets.
And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue.
31 After, he made barres of Shittim wood, fiue for the boards in ye one side of ye Tabernacle,
And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be rent.
32 And fiue barres for the boardes in the other side of the Tabernacle, and fiue barres for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the West.
And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
33 And he made the middest barre to shoote through the boards, from the one end to ye other.
And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates:
34 He ouerlayd also the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the barres, and couered the barres with golde.
a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses.
35 Moreouer he made a vaile of blew silke, and purple, and of skarlet, and of fine twined linen: with Cherubims of broydred worke made he it:
And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons,
36 And made thereunto foure pillars of Shittim, and ouerlayd them with golde: whose hookes were also of golde, and hee cast for them foure sockets of siluer.
and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined;
37 And he made an hanging for the Tabernacle doore, of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linnen, and needle worke,
and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses.
38 And the fiue pillars of it with their hookes, and ouerlayde their chapiters and their filets with golde, but their fiue sockets were of brasse.
And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold;
and he wrote upon it graven letters [as] of a seal, Holiness to the Lord.
And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.
