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.'

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.

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 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,

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.

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.

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

Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,

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.'

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

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.

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,

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

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

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 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:

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.

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

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

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

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.

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,

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.

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

13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps; so the tabernacle was one.

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

14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he made them.

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

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain; the eleven curtains had one measure.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above.

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

20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up.

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

21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.

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

22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. Thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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.

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

Of which twenty were at the south side southward,

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.

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.

25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,

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

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

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

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

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

28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part;

And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:

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.

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

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

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

31 And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of 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 hinder part westward.

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.

33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.

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

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.

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.

35 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; with the cherubim the work of the skilful workman made he it.

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

36 And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold, their hooks being of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

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

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;

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.

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