Exodus 36

1 Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.

Then wrought Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all cunning men, to whome the Lord gaue wisedome, and vnderstanding, to knowe howe to worke all maner worke for the seruice of the Sanctuarie, according to all that the Lord had commanded.

2 And when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,

For Moses had called Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all the wise hearted men, in whose heartes the Lord had giuen wisedome, euen as many as their hearts encouraged to come vnto that worke to worke it.

3 He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.

And they receiued of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the worke of the seruice of the Sanctuary, to make it: also they brought still vnto him free giftes euery morning.

4 Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,

So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy worke, came euery man from his worke which they wrought,

5 Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.

And spake to Moses, saying, The people bring too much, and more then ynough for the vse of the worke, which the Lord hath commanded to be made.

6 Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,

Then Moses gaue a commandement, and they caused it to be proclaymed throughout the hoste, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more worke for the oblation of the Sanctuarie. So the people were stayed from offring.

7 Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.

For the stuffe they had, was sufficient for all the worke to make it, and too much.

8 And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:

All the cunning men therefore among the workemen, made for the Tabernacle ten curtaines of fine twined linnen, and of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet: Cherubims of broydred worke made they vpon them.

9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.

The length of one curtaine was twentie and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtaine foure cubites: and the curtaines were all of one cise.

10 And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.

And he coupled fiue curtaines together, and other fiue coupled he together.

11 He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,

And he made strings of blewe silke by the edge of one curtaine, in the seluedge of the coupling: likewise he made on the side of the other curtaine in the seluedge in the second coupling.

12 That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.

Fiftie strings made he in the one curtaine, and fiftie strings made he in the edge of the other curtaine, which was in the second coupling: the strings were set one against another.

13 Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.

After, he made fiftie taches of golde, and coupled the curtaines one to another with the taches: so was it one Tabernacle.

14 He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:

Also he made curtaines of goates heare for the couering vpon the Tabernacle: he made them to the nomber of eleuen curtaines.

15 One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.

The length of one curtaine had thirtie cubites, and the bredth of one curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines were of one cise.

16 Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.

And hee coupled fiue curtaines by themselues, and sixe curtaines by themselues:

17 And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.

Also he made fiftie strings vpon the edge of one curtaine in the seluedge in the coupling, and fiftie strings made hee vpon the edge of the other curtaine in the second coupling.

18 And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.

He made also fiftie taches of brasse to couple the couering that it might be one.

19 He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.

And he made a couering vpon the pauilion of rams skinnes dyed red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.

20 He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.

Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of Shittim wood to stand vp.

21 The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.

The length of a board was ten cubites, and the bredth of one board was a cubite, and an halfe.

22 There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.

One board had two tenons, set in order as the feete of a ladder, one against another: thus made he for all the boardes of the Tabernacle.

23 Of which twenty were at the south side southward,

So he made twentie boardes for the South side of the Tabernacle, euen full South.

24 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.

And fourtie sockets of siluer made he vnder the twentie boardes, two sockets vnder one board for his two tenons, and two sockets vnder another board for his two tenons.

25 At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.

Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twentie boards,

26 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.

And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one board, and two sockets vnder another boarde.

27 But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,

Likewise toward the Westside of the Tabernacle he made sixe boardes.

28 And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:

And two boardes made he in the corners of the Tabernacle, for either side,

29 Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:

And they were ioyned beneath, and likewise were made sure aboue with a ring: thus he did to both in both corners.

30 So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.

So there were eight boards and their sixteene sockets of siluer, vnder euery board two sockets.

31 He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

After, he made barres of Shittim wood, fiue for the boards in ye one side of ye Tabernacle,

32 And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.

And fiue barres for the boardes in the other side of the Tabernacle, and fiue barres for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the West.

33 He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.

And he made the middest barre to shoote through the boards, from the one end to ye other.

34 And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.

He ouerlayd also the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the barres, and couered the barres with golde.

35 He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:

Moreouer he made a vaile of blew silke, and purple, and of skarlet, and of fine twined linen: with Cherubims of broydred worke made he it:

36 And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.

And made thereunto foure pillars of Shittim, and ouerlayd them with golde: whose hookes were also of golde, and hee cast for them foure sockets of siluer.

37 He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.

And he made an hanging for the Tabernacle doore, of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linnen, and needle worke,

38 And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.

And the fiue pillars of it with their hookes, and ouerlayde their chapiters and their filets with golde, but their fiue sockets were of brasse.
