Exod 36
1
And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom YHWH has put
wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary,
according to all that YHWH has commanded.
2
And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart YHWH
had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come to 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 to 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 spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service
of the work which YHWH 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 skillful 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 to its top
to 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 skillful 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.
