Exodus 36
1 And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah has commanded.
So Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other craftsmen with the necessary expertise and given the skill and ability by the Lord, are to work out how to accomplish all the work of constructing the sanctuary as commanded by the Lord.”
2 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it,
Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people who had been given special abilities by the Lord, everyone willing to come and do the work.
3 and they received from Moses all the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. And they brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.
Moses gave them everything the Israelites had contributed to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. In the meantime the people went on bringing freewill offerings every morning,
4 And all the wise men, who wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought.
so much so that all the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary stopped what they were doing
5 And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.
and went and told Moses, “The people have already brought enough to complete the work the Lord has ordered us to do.”
6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
Moses gave the order, and an announcement was made throughout the camp: “Men and women, don't bring anything more as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were stopped from bringing anything more,
7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
since there was already more than enough to do all the work necessary.
8 And all the wise-hearted men among them who wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains, of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim; the work of the skilful workman made them.

They joined together five of the curtains as one set, and the other five he joined as a second set.

They used blue material to make loops on the edge of the last curtain of both sets.
12 Fifty loops he made in the one curtain, and fifty loops he made in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling; the loops were opposite one to another.
They made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the last curtain of the second set, lining up the loops with each another.
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was one.
They also made fifty gold clips and joined the curtains together with the clips, so that the Tabernacle was a single structure.
14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. Eleven curtains he made them.
They made eleven curtains of goat hair as a tent to cover the Tabernacle.

They made an upright framework of acacia wood for the Tabernacle.
21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.
Each frame was ten cubits long by one and a half cubits wide.
22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. Thus he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Each frame had two pegs so the frames could be connected to each other. They made all the frames of the Tabernacle like this.
23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle. Twenty boards for the south side southward.

29 And they were double beneath, and in like manner they were entire to the top of it to one ring. Thus he did to both of them in the two corners.
They joined these corner frames at the bottom and at the top near to the first ring. This is how they made the two corner frames.
30 And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, under every board two sockets.
In total there were eight frames and sixteen silver stands, two under each frame.
31 And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.
They made the central crossbar which was placed halfway up the frames and ran from one end to the other.
34 And he overlaid the boards with gold. And made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
They covered the frames with gold, and made gold rings to hold the crossbars in place. They covered the crossbars with gold too.
