< 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.”
And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom YHWH has given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the holy place, have done according to all that YHWH commanded.
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.
And Moses calls to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to every wise-hearted man in whose heart YHWH has given wisdom, everyone whom his heart lifted up, to come near to the work to do it.
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,
And they take from before Moses all the raised-offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the holy place to do it; and still they have brought to him a willing-offering morning by morning.
4 so that all the skilled craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left their work
And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the holy place, each come from his work which they are doing,
5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD has commanded us to do.”
and speak to Moses, saying, “The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which YHWH 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,
And Moses commands, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, “Do not let man or woman make anymore work for the raised-offering of the holy place”; and the people are restrained from bringing,
7 since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work.
and the work has been sufficient for them, for all the work, to do it, and to leave.
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.
And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the Dwelling Place; he has made them [with] ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubim, the work of a designer.
9 Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size.
The length of one curtain [is] twenty-eight by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four by the cubit; one measure [is] for all the curtains.
10 And he joined five of the curtains together, and the other five he joined as well.
And he joins the five curtains to one another, and the [other] five curtains he has joined to one another;
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.
and he makes loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he has made in the edge of the outmost curtain, in the joining of the second;
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.
he has made fifty loops in the first curtain, and he has made fifty loops in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold on one another.
13 He also made fifty gold clasps to join the curtains together, so that the tabernacle was a unit.
And he makes fifty hooks of gold, and joins the curtains to one another by the hooks, and the Dwelling Place is one.
14 He then made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.
And he makes curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the Dwelling Place; eleven curtains he has made them;
15 Each of the eleven curtains was the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
the length of one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four cubits; one measure [is] for the eleven curtains;
16 He joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another.
and he joins the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.
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.
And he makes fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and he has made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;
18 He also made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a unit.
and he makes fifty hooks of bronze to join the tent—to be one;
19 Additionally, he made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
and he makes a covering for the tent of rams’ skins made red, and a covering of tachashim skins above.
20 Next, he constructed upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
And he makes the boards for the Dwelling Place of shittim wood, standing up;
21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
ten cubits [is] the length of the [one] board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the [one] board;
22 Two tenons were connected to each other for each frame. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
two handles [are] to one board, joined to one another; so he has made for all the boards of the Dwelling Place.
23 He constructed twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle,
And he makes the boards for the Dwelling Place; twenty boards for the south side southward;
24 with forty silver bases to put under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.
and he has made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.
25 For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames
And for the second side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, he has made twenty boards,
26 and forty silver bases—two bases under each frame.
and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under the other board;
27 He made six frames for the rear of the tabernacle, the west side,
and for the sides of the Dwelling Place westward, he has made six boards;
28 and two frames for the two back corners of the tabernacle,
and he has made two boards for the corners of the Dwelling Place, in the two sides;
29 coupled together from bottom to top and fitted into a single ring. He made both corners in this way.
and they have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at one ring; so he has done to both of them at the two corners;
30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
and there have been eight boards; and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board.
31 He also made five crossbars of acacia wood for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
And he makes bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the first side of the Dwelling Place,
32 five for those on the other side, and five for those on the rear side of the tabernacle, to the west.
and five bars for the boards of the second side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the Dwelling Place, for the sides westward;
33 He made the central crossbar to run through the center of the frames, from one end to the other.
and he makes the middle bar to enter into the midst of the boards from end to end;
34 And he overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
and he has overlaid the boards with gold, and he has made their rings of gold, places for bars, and he overlays the bars with gold.
35 Next, he made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.
And he makes the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen; he has made it [with] cherubim—the work of a designer;
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.
and he makes four pillars of shittim [wood] for it, and overlays them with gold; their pegs [are] of gold; and he casts four sockets of silver for them.
37 For the entrance to the tent, he made a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen,
And he makes a covering for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of an embroiderer,
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.
also its five pillars, and their pegs; and he overlaid their tops and their fillets [with] gold, and their five sockets [are] bronze.
