Exodus 36
1 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.”
And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom the Lord hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to do every manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall make all, just as the Lord hath commanded.
2 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.
And Moses called for Bezalel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, every one whose heart stirred him up to come near unto the work to do it:
3 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,
And they received from Moses the whole of the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it; and these brought unto him yet more free-will offerings morning after morning.
4 so much so that all the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary stopped what they were doing
And then came all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, every man from his own work which they were doing.
5 and went and told Moses, “The people have already brought enough to complete the work the Lord has ordered us to do.”
And they said unto Moses, thus, The people bring more than is required for the service of the work, which the Lord hath commanded to make.
6 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,
And Moses gave the command, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary: so the people were restrained from bringing [more].
7 since there was already more than enough to do all the work necessary.
And the stuff prepared was sufficient for all the work to make it, and there was some over.
8 The skilled craftsmen among the workers made the ten curtains for the Tabernacle. They were made of finely-spun linen together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, embroidered with cherubim.
And all the wise-hearted men, among those who wrought the work, made the tabernacle of ten curtains; of twisted linen thread, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn; with cherubim, of weaver's work, made he them.
9 Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long by four cubits wide, and they were all the same size.
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: there was one measure for all the curtains.
10 They joined together five of the curtains as one set, and the other five he joined as a second set.
And he coupled together five of the curtains one to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
11 They used blue material to make loops on the edge of the last curtain of both sets.
And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, which was the outside in the coupling: the like he made on the border of the curtain, which was the outmost on the second coupling.
12 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.
Fifty loops made he on the one curtain, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain which was in the second coupling: the loops were fixed opposite to each other.
13 They also made fifty gold clips and joined the curtains together with the clips, so that the Tabernacle was a single structure.
And he made fifty hooks of gold; and he coupled the curtains together one unto the other with the hooks, and the tabernacle became thus one piece.
14 They made eleven curtains of goat hair as a tent to cover the Tabernacle.
And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains made he the same.
15 Each of the eleven curtains was the same size—thirty cubits long by four cubits wide.
The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of each curtain: there was one measure for the eleven curtains.
16 They joined five of the curtains together as one set and the other six as another set.
And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.
17 They made fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the last curtain in the second set.
And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was the outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain of the second coupling.
18 They made fifty bronze clips to join the tent together as a single cover.
And he made fifty hooks of copper, to couple the tent together that it might be one piece.
19 They made a covering for the goat hair tent from tanned ram skins, and placed an extra covering of fine leather over that.
And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above.
20 They made an upright framework of acacia wood for the Tabernacle.
And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of shittim wood, standing up.
21 Each frame was ten cubits long by one and a half cubits wide.
Ten cubits was the length of each board, and one cubit and a half was the breadth of each one board.
22 Each frame had two pegs so the frames could be connected to each other. They made all the frames of the Tabernacle like this.
There were two tenons for every board, fitted in, one against the other: the like made he for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the Tabernacle.
And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side, on the right.
24 They made forty silver stands as supports for the twenty frames using two stands per frame, one under every frame peg.
And forty sockets of silver made he under the twenty boards; two sockets under the one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under the other board for its two tenons.
25 Similarly for the north side of the Tabernacle, they made twenty frames
And for the other side of the tabernacle, for the north side, he made twenty boards:
26 and forty silver stands, two stands per frame.
And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board.
27 They made six frames for the back (west side) of the Tabernacle,
And for the back wall of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards.
28 along with two frames for its two back corners.
And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the back wall.
29 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.
And they were closely fitting beneath, and they were closely joined together on the top, by means of one ring; thus he did to both of them, for both the corners.
30 In total there were eight frames and sixteen silver stands, two under each frame.
And so there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under every board.
31 They made five crossbars of acacia wood to hold together the frames on the south side of the Tabernacle,
And he made bars of shittim wood; five, for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle;
32 five for those on the north, and five for those at the back of the Tabernacle, to the west.
And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the back wall, westward.
33 They made the central crossbar which was placed halfway up the frames and ran from one end to the other.
And he made the middle bar to pass through the midst of the boards from the one end to the other end.
34 They covered the frames with gold, and made gold rings to hold the crossbars in place. They covered the crossbars with gold too.
And the boards he overlaid with gold, and their rings he made of gold, as receptacles for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
35 They made a veil out of blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen, embroidered with cherubim by someone who was skilled.
And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; of weaver's work made he it, with cherubim.
36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and covered them with gold. They made gold hooks for the posts and cast their four silver stands.
And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, their hooks also were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 They made a screen for the entrance to the tent using blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen, and had it embroidered.
And he made a hanging for the door of the tabernacle, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; the work of the embroiderer;
38 They also made five posts of acacia wood with hooks to hang the screen. They covered the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and their five stands were made of bronze.
And its five pillars with their hooks: and he overlaid their tops and made their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of copper.
