Exodus 36

1 So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person will do the work the Lord has commanded, because he gave them the wisdom and understanding to do all the skilled work needed to build the Holy Tent.”
2 Then Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other skilled people to whom the Lord had given skills, and they came because they wanted to help with the work.3 They received from Moses everything the people of Israel had brought as gifts to build the Holy Tent. The people continued to bring gifts each morning because they wanted to.4 So all the skilled workers left the work they were doing on the Holy Tent,

5 and they said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work the Lord commanded.”
6 Then Moses sent this command throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as a gift for the Holy Tent.” So the people were kept from giving more,

7 because what they had was already more than enough to do all the work.

The Holy Tent

8 Then the skilled workers made the Holy Tent. They made the ten curtains of blue, purple, and red cloth, and they sewed designs of creatures with wings on the curtains.9 Each curtain was the same size—forty-two feet long and six feet wide.10 Five of the curtains were fastened together to make one set, and the other five were fastened together to make another set.11 Then they made loops of blue cloth along the edge of the end curtain on the first set of five, and they did the same thing with the other set of five.12 There were fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the other curtain, with the loops opposite each other.

13 They made fifty gold hooks to join the two curtains together so that the Holy Tent was joined together as one piece.
14 Then the workers made another tent of eleven curtains made of goat hair, to put over the Holy Tent.15 All eleven curtains were the same size—forty-five feet long and six feet wide.16 The workers sewed five curtains together into one set and six together into another set.17 They made fifty loops along the edge of the outside curtain of one set and fifty loops along the edge of the outside curtain of the other set.18 Then they made fifty bronze rings to join the two sets of cloth together and make the tent one piece.

19 They made two more coverings for the outer tent—one made of male sheepskins colored red and the other made of fine leather.
20 Then they made upright frames of acacia wood for the Holy Tent.21 Each frame was fifteen feet tall and twenty-seven inches wide,22 and there were two pegs side by side on each one. Every frame of the Holy Tent was made this same way.23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the Tent,24 and they made forty silver bases that went under the twenty frames. There were two bases for every frame—one for each peg of each frame.25 They also made twenty frames for the north side of the Holy Tent26 and forty silver bases—two to go under each frame.27 They made six frames for the rear or west end of the Holy Tent28 and two frames for the corners at the rear of the Holy Tent.29 These two frames were doubled at the bottom and joined at the top with a metal ring. They did this for each of these corners.

30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.
31 Then they made crossbars of acacia wood to connect the upright frames of the Holy Tent. Five crossbars held the frames together on one side of the Tent,32 and five held the frames together on the other side. Also, five crossbars held the frames together on the west end, at the rear of the Tent.33 They made the middle crossbar run along the entire length of each side and rear of the Tent. It was set halfway up the frames.

34 They made gold rings on the sides of the frames to hold the crossbars, and they covered the frames and the crossbars with gold.
35 Then they made the curtain of blue, purple, and red thread, and fine linen. A skilled craftsman sewed designs of creatures with wings on it.36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and covered them with gold. Then they made gold hooks for the posts, as well as four silver bases in which to set the posts.37 For the entrance to the Tent, they made a curtain of blue, purple, and red thread, and fine linen. A person who sewed well sewed designs on it.38 Then they made five posts and hooks for it. They covered the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and they made five bronze bases for the posts.

Exodus 36

1 And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah hath commanded.

2 And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Jehovah 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, wherewith to make it. And they brought yet unto him freewill-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 wrought.5 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah 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 all the wise-hearted men 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, Bezalel made them.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.10 And he coupled five curtains one to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.11 And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.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 coupling: the loops were opposite one to another.13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was one.

14 And he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain: the eleven curtains had one measure.16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.18 And he made fifty clasps 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 sealskins above.

20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of acacia wood, standing up.21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.22 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for 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.25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, 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 hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part.29 And they were double beneath; and in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof unto one ring: thus he did to both of them in the two corners.30 And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.

31 And he made bars of acacia 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 hinder part westward.33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.34 And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, made he it.36 And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; And he cast for them four 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 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.
