Exodus 36
1 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.
So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.
2 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.
Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work:
3 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.
And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.
4 So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy worke, came euery man from his worke which they wrought,
Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;
5 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.
And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.
6 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.
So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.
7 For the stuffe they had, was sufficient for all the worke to make it, and too much.
For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.
8 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.
Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.
9 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.
Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.
10 And he coupled fiue curtaines together, and other fiue coupled he together.
And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.
11 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.
And they put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and in the same way on the outside curtain of the second group.
12 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.
Fifty twists on the one curtain and fifty on the edge of the curtain of the other group; the twists being opposite to one another.
13 After, he made fiftie taches of golde, and coupled the curtaines one to another with the taches: so was it one Tabernacle.
And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.
14 Also he made curtaines of goates heare for the couering vpon the Tabernacle: he made them to the nomber of eleuen curtaines.
And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made.
15 The length of one curtaine had thirtie cubites, and the bredth of one curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines were of one cise.
Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.
16 And hee coupled fiue curtaines by themselues, and sixe curtaines by themselues:
Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group.
17 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.
And they put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group,
18 He made also fiftie taches of brasse to couple the couering that it might be one.
And fifty hooks of brass for joining them together to make the tent.
19 And he made a couering vpon the pauilion of rams skinnes dyed red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.
And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that.
20 Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of Shittim wood to stand vp.
And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.
21 The length of a board was ten cubites, and the bredth of one board was a cubite, and an halfe.
The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.
22 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.
Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.
23 So he made twentie boardes for the South side of the Tabernacle, euen full South.
They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:
24 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.
And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues.
25 Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twentie boards,
And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,
26 And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one board, and two sockets vnder another boarde.
With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board.
27 Likewise toward the Westside of the Tabernacle he made sixe boardes.
And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,
28 And two boardes made he in the corners of the Tabernacle, for either side,
And two boards for the angles at the back.
29 And they were ioyned beneath, and likewise were made sure aboue with a ring: thus he did to both in both corners.
These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles.
30 So there were eight boards and their sixteene sockets of siluer, vnder euery board two sockets.
So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.
31 After, he made barres of Shittim wood, fiue for the boards in ye one side of ye Tabernacle,
And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,
32 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.
And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west.
33 And he made the middest barre to shoote through the boards, from the one end to ye other.
The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other.
34 He ouerlayd also the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the barres, and couered the barres with golde.
All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.
35 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:
And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.
36 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.
And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.
37 And he made an hanging for the Tabernacle doore, of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linnen, and needle worke,
And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;
38 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.
And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.
