Exodus 36

1 “So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person are to carry out everything commanded by the LORD, who has given them skill and ability to know how to perform all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”

2 Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had gifted—everyone whose heart stirred him to come and do the work.

3 They received from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought to carry out the service of constructing the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning,

4 so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work

5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.”

6 After Moses had given an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing more,

7 since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work.

8 All the skilled craftsmen among the workmen made the ten curtains for the tabernacle. They were made of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them.

9 Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size.

10 And he joined five of the curtains together, and the other five he joined as well.

11 He made loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and also on the end curtain in the second set.

12 He made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops lined up opposite one another.

13 He also made fifty gold clasps to join the curtains together, so that the tabernacle was a unit.

14 He then made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

15 Each of the eleven curtains was the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

16 He joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another.

17 He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

18 He also made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a unit.

19 Additionally, he made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.

20 Next, he constructed upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

22 Two tenons were connected to each other for each frame. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

23 He constructed twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,

24 with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

25 For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames

26 and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.

27 He made six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,

28 and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,

29 coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. He made both corners in this way.

30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

31 He also made five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

32 five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.

33 He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other.

34 And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35 Next, he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

36 He also made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold, along with gold hooks; and he cast four silver bases for the posts.

37 For the entrance to the tent, he made a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen,

38 together with five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and their five bases were bronze.

1 ¶ Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, 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:

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, to make it [withal]. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

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.

7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

8 ¶ And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubims of cunning work made he them.

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

10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and [the other] five curtains he coupled one unto another.

11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of [another] curtain, in the coupling of the second.

12 Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which [was] in the coupling of the second: the loops held one [curtain] to another.

13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

14 ¶ And he made curtains [of] goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

15 The length of one curtain [was] thirty cubits, and four cubits [was] the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains [were] of one size.

16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

17 And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

18 And he made fifty taches [of] brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

19 And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering [of] badgers' skins above [that].

20 And he made boards for the tabernacle [of] shittim wood, standing up.

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

22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:

24 And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, [which is] toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,

26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

29 And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets [were] sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.

31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

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 sides westward.

33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.

34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings [of] gold [to be] places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 ¶ And he made a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: [with] cherubims made he it of cunning work.

36 And he made thereunto four pillars [of] shittim [wood], and overlaid them with gold: their hooks [were of] gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

37 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;

38 And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets [were of] brass.

1 Then Bezaleel, and Ahaliab, and all the wise men, to whom the LORD had given wisdom and understanding to know how to do all manner of work, laboured for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

2 And Moses called unto Bezaleel, and unto Ahaliab, and unto all the wise men, unto whom the LORD had given wisdom in their hearts, even unto all them that offered themselves willingly, and went to work in the work.

3 And they took unto them of Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. For every morning they brought their willing offerings unto him.

4 Then came all the wise men that wrought in the work of the sanctuary, every man of his work that they wrought,

5 And they said unto Moses, The people bring too much, more than is needful for the work of this service, which the LORD commanded to be done.

6 And Moses commanded that they should cry throughout the camp, saying, No man shall lift up the sanctuary any more. And the people ceased from bringing.

7 For there was enough of the thing for every work that was to be done, and yet was left.

8 So all the wise men among the workmen made the tabernacle, ten carpets of twined white silk, yellow silk, scarlet, rosy, cherubims, artificial.

9 The length of a carpet was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits; and they were all of one measure.

10 And he fastened five curtains together, one to another.

11 And he made yellow loops in the place of every carpet, where they were joined together.

12 Fifty loops each to a carpet, that one might take hold of another.

13 And he made fifty coils of gold, and joined the rugs together with the coils, one to another, to make a tabernacle.

14 And he made eleven carpets of goats' hair for the tabernacle,

15 Thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all in one measure.

16 And he put five of them together in one part, and six together in the other part.

17 And he made fifty loops upon every carpet in the place, to bind them together.

18 And he made every one fifty pieces of brass, that the tabernacle might be joined together into one.

19 And he made a covering over the tabernacle of red rams' skins, and over them a covering of badgers' skins.

20 And made boards for the tabernacle of pine wood to stand upon,

21 Each ten cubits long, and a cubit and a half broad,

22 And on every one two tenons, to set one against another. So he made all the boards for a dwelling,

23 that the same boards were twenty about noon;

24 And he made forty silver feet under them, and under every board two feet upon the two tenons thereof.

25 And on the other side of the tabernacle, about midnight, he made twenty boards.

26 With forty silver feet, under every board two feet.

27 But at the back of the tabernacle toward the evening he made six boards,

28 and two others at the back at the two corners of the apartment,

29 That each of them should be joined together with his place board from beneath, and be joined together at the top of the head with a clamp,

30 That the boards might be eight, and sixteen silver feet, under every one two feet.

31 And he made bars of pine wood, five for the boards upon the one side of the tabernacle.

32 and five on the other side, and five behind, towards the evening.

33 And he made the bars to thrust them through the midst of the boards from end to end.

34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made the bars thereof of gold, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 And he made the curtain with the cherubims upon it of yellow silk, and scarlet, and scarlet, and twined white silk, artificially.

36 And he made for them four pillars of pine wood, and overlaid them with gold, and their heads with gold, and cast four silver feet for them.

37 And made a cloth in the door of the tabernacle; of yellow silk, scarlet, and rose-red, and twined white silk embroidered,

38 And five pillars thereof with their heads, and overlaid their heads and rims with gold; and five brass feet thereon.
