Exodus 36
1 And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD hath commanded.'
And Beseleel wrought, and Eliab and every one wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and knowledge, to understand to do all the works according to the holy offices, according to all things which the Lord appointed.
2 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it.
And Moses called Beseleel and Eliab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God gave knowledge in [their] heart, and all who were freely willing to come forward to the works, to perform them.
3 And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, wherewith to make it. And they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning.
And they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary to do them; and they continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in the morning.
4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought.
And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they wrought.
5 And they spoke unto Moses, saying: 'The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.'
And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance [too great] in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed [them] to do.
6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying: 'Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.' So the people were restrained from bringing.
And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labour for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more.
7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides.
8 And every wise-hearted man among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains: of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skilful workman made he them.
And every wise one amongst those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
9 The length of each curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had one measure.
And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
10 And he coupled five curtains one to another; and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work;
11 And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain that was outmost in the first set; likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second set.
shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another.
12 Fifty loops made he in the one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite one to another.
They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses;
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps; so the tabernacle was one.
and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel;
14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he made them.
and he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, [as] stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses.
15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain; the eleven curtains had one measure.
And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
They made the oracle square [and] double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span, —double.
17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the first set, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second set.
And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald;
18 And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper;
19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above.
and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst;
20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up.
and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold.
21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.
And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes.
22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. Thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold,
23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward.
and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings.
24 And 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.
And they put the two golden rings on both the [upper] corners of the oracle;
25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, and the two wreaths into the two couplings.
26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite [each other] in front.
27 And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within.
28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part;
And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod.
29 that they might be double beneath, and in like manner they should be complete unto the top thereof unto the first ring. Thus he did to both of them in the two corners.
And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with [a string] of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets: under every board two sockets.
And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue.
31 And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be tore.
32 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.
And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.
And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates:
34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses.

and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined;
37 And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the weaver in colours;
and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses.
38 and the five pillars of it with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass.
And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold;
and he wrote upon it graven letters [as] of a seal, Holiness to the Lord.
And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.
