Exodus 36
1 Therefore, Bezalel, and Oholiab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and intelligence, so as to know how to work skillfully, made that which was necessary for the uses of the Sanctuary and which the Lord had instructed.
Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary — according to all that Jehovah had commanded.
2 And when Moses had called them and every man of learning, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and who, of their own accord, had offered themselves in order to accomplish this work,
And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.
3 he handed over to them all the donations of the sons of Israel. And while they were pursuing this work, the people offered what they had vowed each day, in the morning.
And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.
4 The artisans were compelled by this to go
And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,
5 to Moses and to say, “The people offer more than is needed.”
and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.
6 Therefore, Moses ordered this to be recited, with a voice of proclamation: “Let neither man nor woman offer anything further for the work of the Sanctuary.” And so they ceased from offering gifts,
Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;
7 because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance.
for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.
8 And all those who were wise of heart, in order to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse workmanship by the art of embroidery.
And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubim of artistic work did he make them.
9 Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure.
The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits — one measure for all the curtains.
10 And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another.
And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled he one to another.
11 He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain,
And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.
12 so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.
He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.
13 For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.
And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.
14 He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.
15 one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.
The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain — one measure for the eleven curtains.
16 Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately.
And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, and fifty along the edge of the other canopy, so that they might be joined to one another,
And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.
18 and fifty buckles of brass, with which the roof might be woven together, so that from all the canopies there would be made one covering.
And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one.
19 He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.
And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above [that].
20 He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.
And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up;
21 Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width.
ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board;
22 There were two dovetails along every panel, so that one might be joined to the other. Thus did he make all the panels of the tabernacle.
two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,
And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;
24 with forty bases of silver. Two bases were set under one panel at each of two sides at the corners, where the joints of the sides terminate in corners.
and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board, for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
25 Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,
And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side toward the north, he made twenty boards,
26 with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board.
and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
27 Yet truly, opposite the west, that is, toward that part of the tabernacle which looks out toward the sea, he made six panels,
And at the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards;
28 and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back,
and he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;
29 which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side.
and they were joined beneath, and were coupled together at the top thereof into one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners;
30 So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel.
and there were eight boards, and their silver bases: sixteen bases, under every board two bases.
31 He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle,
— And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 and five others to fit together the panels of the other side, and, in addition to these, five other bars toward the western area of the tabernacle, opposite 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 also made another bar, which came through the middle of the panels from corner to corner.
And he made the middle bar in the midst of the boards reach from one end to the other.
34 But the panels themselves he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them. And he made their rings from gold, through which the bars might be able to be drawn. And he covered the bars themselves with layers of gold.
And he overlaid the boards with gold; and made their rings of gold [as] receptacles for the bars; and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 He also made a veil from hyacinth, and purple, from vermillion as well as fine twisted linen, with varied and distinctive embroidery,
And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus: of artistic work he made it [with] cherubim.
36 and four columns of setim wood, which, along with their heads, he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them.
And he made four pillars of acacia[-wood] for it, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.
37 He also made a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery,
And he made a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery;
38 and five columns with their heads, which he covered with gold, and he cast their bases from brass.
and its five pillars with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their connecting-rods with gold; and their five bases were of copper.
