Exodus 36

1 So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.

Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, —according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.

2 Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work:

So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, —every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it.

3 And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.

And they took, from the presence of Moses, all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel had brought in for the work of the holy service to do it, —howbeit, they, brought in unto him yet more free-will offerings, morning by morning.

4 Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;

Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy work, —man by man from his work which, they, were doing;

5 And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.

and spake unto Moses, saying, More than enough, are the people bringing in, —[more] than is needed for the service pertaining to the work; which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.

6 So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

So Moses gave commandment and they passed a proclamation throughout the camp, saying, Let, neither man nor woman, make any more material for the holy heave-offering. So the people were restrained from bringing in.

7 For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.

For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, —and to spare.

8 Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

Then did all the wise-hearted among the workers of the material make the habitation of ten curtains, of fine-twined linen, and blue and purple and crimson, with cherubim the work of the skilful weaver, did he make them.

9 Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

The length of each curtain, was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for each curtain, —one measure, had all the curtains.

10 And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.

And he joined the [first] five curtains, one to another, —and the [other] five curtains, joined he one to another,

11 And they put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and in the same way on the outside curtain of the second group.

And he made loops of blue upon the border of the first curtain, at the edge of the set, —thus, made he in the border of the other curtain at the edge of the second set:

12 Fifty twists on the one curtain and fifty on the edge of the curtain of the other group; the twists being opposite to one another.

Fifty loops, made he in the first curtain, and fifty loops, made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second set, —the loops being, opposite, one to another.

13 And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.

And he made fifty clasps of gold, —and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, and so the habitation became, one.

14 And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made.

And he made curtains of goat’s-hair, for the tent over the habitation, eleven curtains, did he make them:

15 Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

the length of each curtain, was thirty cubits, and, four cubits, was the breath of each curtain, —one measure, had the eleven curtains.

16 Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group.

And he joined five of the curtains by themselves, —and the six curtains, by themselves.

17 And they put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group,

And he made fifty loops upon the border of the curtain that was outmost in the one set and fifty loops, made he upon the border of the curtain of the second set.

18 And fifty hooks of brass for joining them together to make the tent.

And he made fifty clasps of bronze, —to join together the tent, that it might become one.

19 And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that.

And he made a covering to the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badgers’ skins, above.

20 And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.

And he made the boards for the habitation, of acacia wood, for standing up:

21 The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

ten cubits, the length of each board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board:

22 Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.

two tenons to each board, united one to another, —thus, made he for all the boards of the habitation.

23 They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:

And he made the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, for the south side southwards;

24 And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues.

and, forty sockets of silver, made he, under the twenty boards, two sockets, under the first board, for its two tenons, and, two sockets, under the next board for its two tenons.

25 And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,

And for the second side of the habitation to the north quarter, made he twenty boards;

26 With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board.

and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets, under the first board, and, two sockets, under the next board.

27 And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,

And, for the hinder part of the habitation westward, made he six boards;

28 And two boards for the angles at the back.

and two boards, made he for the corners of the habitation, —in the hinderpart.

29 These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles.

Thus were they to be double beneath, and at the same time, should they be entire, at the top thereof, into each ring, thus, did he for them both, for the two corners.

30 So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.

Thus were there to be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, were sixteen sockets, two sockets apiece under each board.

31 And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,

And he made bars of acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the first side of the habitation,

32 And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west.

and five bars, for the boards of the other side of the habitation, and, five bars, for the boards of the habitation at the hinderpart westward.

33 The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other.

And he made the middle bar, —to run along in the midst of the boards, from end to end.

34 All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

And the boards, overlaid he with gold and their rings, made he of gold, as receptacles for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.

35 And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.

And he made the veil, of blue and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, —of the work of a skilful weaver, made he it, with cherubim.

36 And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.

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

37 And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;

And he made a screen for the opening of the tent, of blue and purple and crimson and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

38 And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.

and the five pillars thereof and their hooks, and he overlaid their capitals and their cross-rods, with gold, but, their five sockets, were of bronze.
