Exodus 36
1 And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the sanctuary, have done according to all that Jehovah 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 And Moses calleth unto Bezaleel, and unto Aholiab, and unto every wise-hearted man in whose heart Jehovah hath given wisdom, every one whom his heart lifted up, to come 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 take from before Moses all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the sanctuary to do it; and still they have brought in unto him a willing-offering 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 And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the sanctuary, come each from his work which they are doing,
So all the skilled people working on the holy place came from the work that they had been doing.
5 and speak unto Moses, saying, 'The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.'
The craftsmen told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for doing the work that Yahweh has commanded us to do.”
6 And Moses commandeth, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, 'Let not man or woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary;' and the people are restrained from bringing,
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 and the work hath been sufficient for them, for all the work, to do it, and to leave.
They had more than enough materials for all the work.
8 And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the tabernacle; ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubs, work of a designer, he hath made 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 the one curtain [is] eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit; one measure [is] to 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 joineth the five curtains one unto another, and the [other] five curtains he hath joined one unto another;
Bezalel joined five curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he also joined to each other.
11 and he maketh loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he hath made in the edge of the outmost curtain, in the joining of the second;
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 he hath made in the one curtain, and fifty loops hath he made in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold one on 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 maketh fifty hooks of gold, and joineth the curtains one unto another by the hooks, and the tabernacle is one.
He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together with them so that the tabernacle became united.
14 And he maketh curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he hath made them;
Bezalel made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven of these curtains.
15 the length of the one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain [is] four cubits; one measure [is] to 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 joineth the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.
He joined five curtains to each other and the other six curtains to each other.
17 And he maketh fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and fifty loops he hath made on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;
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 maketh fifty hooks of brass to join the tent — to be one;
Bezalel made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be one piece.
19 and he maketh a covering for the tent of rams' skins made 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 maketh the boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up;
Bezalel made vertical frames out of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
21 ten cubits [is] the length of the [one] board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the [one] board;
The length of each frame was ten cubits, and the width of each frame was one and a half cubits.
22 two handles [are] to the one board, joined one unto another; so he hath made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Each frame had two wooden pegs for joining the frames together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.
23 And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward;
He made the frames for the tabernacle in this way: twenty frames for the south side.
24 and forty sockets of silver he hath made under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.
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 tabernacle, for the north side, he hath made 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 one board, and two sockets under the other board;

27 and for the sides of the tabernacle, westward, hath he made six boards;
For the back of the tabernacle on the west, Bezalel made six frames.
28 and two boards hath he made for the corners of the tabernacle, in the two sides;
He made two frames for the back corners of the tabernacle.
29 and they have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at the one ring; so he hath done to both of them at 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 and there have been eight boards; and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one 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 maketh bars of shittim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32 and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle, for the sides 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 maketh the middle bar to enter into 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 he hath overlaid with gold, and their rings he hath made of gold, places for bars, and he overlayeth 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.
