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.
"Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with 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."
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,
Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart God had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up 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 received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.
4 The artisans were compelled by this to go
All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.
5 to Moses and to say, “The people offer more than is needed.”
They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make."
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,
Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing.
7 because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance.
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and 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.
All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made 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 each curtain was forty-eight feet three inches, and the breadth of each curtain six feet eleven inches. All the curtains were the same size.
10 And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another.
He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled 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,
He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.
12 so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.
He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite one to another.
13 For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.
He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
14 He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
He made curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
15 one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.
The length of each curtain was fifty-one feet eight inches, and six feet eleven inches the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains were the same size.
16 Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately.
He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six 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,
He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second 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.
He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.
19 He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.
He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
20 He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.
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.
Seventeen feet three inches was the length of a board, and two feet seven inches the breadth of each 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.
Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.
23 Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,
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.
He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25 Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,
For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
26 with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board.
and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets 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,
For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back,
He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.
29 which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side.
They were double beneath, and in like manner they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did thus to both of them in the two corners.
30 So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel.
There were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.
31 He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle,
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.
He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the 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.
He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places 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,
He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.
36 and four columns of setim wood, which, along with their heads, he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them.
He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.
37 He also made a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery,
He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
38 and five columns with their heads, which he covered with gold, and he cast their bases from brass.
and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.
