Exodus 36
1 Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, —according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.
So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom Yahweh has given skill and ability to know how to do any work in the construction of the holy place are to do the work according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”
2 So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, —every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it.
Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skillful person in whose mind Yahweh had given skill, and whose heart stirred within him to come and do the work.
3 And they took, from the presence of Moses, all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel had brought in for the work of the holy service to do it, —howbeit, they, brought in unto him yet more free-will offerings, morning by morning.
They received from Moses all the offerings that the Israelites had brought for constructing the holy place. The people were still bringing freewill offerings every morning to Moses.
4 Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy work, —man by man from his work which, they, were doing;
So all the skilled people working on the holy place came from the work that they had been doing.
5 and spake unto Moses, saying, More than enough, are the people bringing in, —[more] than is needed for the service pertaining to the work; which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.
The craftsmen told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for doing the work that Yahweh has commanded us to do.”
6 So Moses gave commandment and they passed a proclamation throughout the camp, saying, Let, neither man nor woman, make any more material for the holy heave-offering. So the people were restrained from bringing in.
So Moses instructed that no one in the camp should bring any more offerings for the construction of the holy place. Then the people stopped bringing these gifts.
7 For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, —and to spare.
They had more than enough materials for all the work.
8 Then did all the wise-hearted among the workers of the material make the habitation of ten curtains, of fine-twined linen, and blue and purple and crimson, with cherubim the work of the skilful weaver, did he make them.
So all the craftsmen among them constructed the tabernacle with ten curtains made from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet wool with the designs of cherubim. This was the work of Bezalel, the very skilled craftsman.
9 The length of each curtain, was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for each curtain, —one measure, had all the curtains.
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, the width four cubits. All the curtains were of the same size.
10 And he joined the [first] five curtains, one to another, —and the [other] five curtains, joined he one to another,
Bezalel joined five curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he also joined to each other.
11 And he made loops of blue upon the border of the first curtain, at the edge of the set, —thus, made he in the border of the other curtain at the edge of the second set:
He made loops of blue along the outer edge of the end curtain of one set, and he did the same along the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.
12 Fifty loops, made he in the first curtain, and fifty loops, made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second set, —the loops being, opposite, one to another.
He made fifty loops on the first curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. So the loops were opposite to each another.
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, —and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, and so the habitation became, one.
He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together with them so that the tabernacle became united.
14 And he made curtains of goat’s-hair, for the tent over the habitation, eleven curtains, did he make them:
Bezalel made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven of these curtains.
15 the length of each curtain, was thirty cubits, and, four cubits, was the breath of each curtain, —one measure, had the eleven curtains.
The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain was four cubits. Each of the eleven curtains was of the same size.
16 And he joined five of the curtains by themselves, —and the six curtains, by themselves.
He joined five curtains to each other and the other six curtains to each other.
17 And he made fifty loops upon the border of the curtain that was outmost in the one set and fifty loops, made he upon the border of the curtain of the second set.
He made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain that joined the second set.
18 And he made fifty clasps of bronze, —to join together the tent, that it might become one.
Bezalel made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be one piece.
19 And he made a covering to the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badgers’ skins, above.
He made for the tabernacle a covering of ram skins dyed red, another covering of fine leather to go above that.
20 And he made the boards for the habitation, of acacia wood, for standing up:
Bezalel made vertical frames out of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
21 ten cubits, the length of each board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board:
The length of each frame was ten cubits, and the width of each frame was one and a half cubits.
22 two tenons to each board, united one to another, —thus, made he for all the boards of the habitation.
Each frame had two wooden pegs for joining the frames together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.
23 And he made the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, for the south side southwards;
He made the frames for the tabernacle in this way: twenty frames for the south side.
24 and, forty sockets of silver, made he, under the twenty boards, two sockets, under the first board, for its two tenons, and, two sockets, under the next board for its two tenons.
Bezalel made forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames. There were two bases under one frame to join the frames together, and also two bases under each of the other frames to join frames together.
25 And for the second side of the habitation to the north quarter, made he twenty boards;
For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames
26 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets, under the first board, and, two sockets, under the next board.
and their forty silver bases. There were two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.
27 And, for the hinder part of the habitation westward, made he six boards;
For the back of the tabernacle on the west, Bezalel made six frames.
28 and two boards, made he for the corners of the habitation, —in the hinderpart.
He made two frames for the back corners of the tabernacle.
29 Thus were they to be double beneath, and at the same time, should they be entire, at the top thereof, into each ring, thus, did he for them both, for the two corners.
These frames were separate at the bottom, but joined at the top in one ring. He made two of them in this way for the two corners.
30 Thus were there to be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, were sixteen sockets, two sockets apiece under each board.
There were eight frames, together with their silver bases. There were sixteen bases in all, two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.
31 And he made bars of acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the first side of the habitation,
Bezalel made crossbars of acacia wood—five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 and five bars, for the boards of the other side of the habitation, and, five bars, for the boards of the habitation at the hinderpart westward.
five crossbars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the frames for the back side of the tabernacle to the west.
33 And he made the middle bar, —to run along in the midst of the boards, from end to end.
He made the crossbar in the center of the frames, that is, halfway up, to reach from end to end.
34 And the boards, overlaid he with gold and their rings, made he of gold, as receptacles for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
He covered the frames with gold. He made their rings of gold, for them to serve as holders for the crossbars, and he covered the bars with gold.
35 And he made the veil, of blue and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, —of the work of a skilful weaver, made he it, with cherubim.
Bezalel made the curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen, with designs of cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.
36 And he made for it four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold their hooks of gold, and cast for them, four sockets of silver.
He made for the curtain four pillars of acacia wood, and he covered them with gold. He also made gold hooks for the pillars, and he cast for them four silver bases.
37 And he made a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue and purple and crimson and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
He made a hanging for the tent entrance. It was made of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, using fine linen, the work of an embroiderer.
38 and the five pillars thereof and their hooks, and he overlaid their capitals and their cross-rods, with gold, but, their five sockets, were of bronze.
He also made the hanging's five pillars with hooks. He covered their tops and their rods with gold. Their five bases were made of bronze.
