Exodus 36

1 Therefore, Bezalel, and Oholiab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and intelligence, so as to know how to work skillfully, made that which was necessary for the uses of the Sanctuary and which the Lord had instructed.

Then wrought Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all cunning men, to whome the Lord gaue wisedome, and vnderstanding, to knowe howe to worke all maner worke for the seruice of the Sanctuarie, according to all that the Lord had commanded.

2 And when Moses had called them and every man of learning, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and who, of their own accord, had offered themselves in order to accomplish this work,

For Moses had called Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and all the wise hearted men, in whose heartes the Lord had giuen wisedome, euen as many as their hearts encouraged to come vnto that worke to worke it.

3 he handed over to them all the donations of the sons of Israel. And while they were pursuing this work, the people offered what they had vowed each day, in the morning.

And they receiued of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the worke of the seruice of the Sanctuary, to make it: also they brought still vnto him free giftes euery morning.

4 The artisans were compelled by this to go

So all the wise men, that wrought all the holy worke, came euery man from his worke which they wrought,

5 to Moses and to say, “The people offer more than is needed.”

And spake to Moses, saying, The people bring too much, and more then ynough for the vse of the worke, which the Lord hath commanded to be made.

6 Therefore, Moses ordered this to be recited, with a voice of proclamation: “Let neither man nor woman offer anything further for the work of the Sanctuary.” And so they ceased from offering gifts,

Then Moses gaue a commandement, and they caused it to be proclaymed throughout the hoste, saying, Let neither man nor woman prepare any more worke for the oblation of the Sanctuarie. So the people were stayed from offring.

7 because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance.

For the stuffe they had, was sufficient for all the worke to make it, and too much.

8 And all those who were wise of heart, in order to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse workmanship by the art of embroidery.

All the cunning men therefore among the workemen, made for the Tabernacle ten curtaines of fine twined linnen, and of blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet: Cherubims of broydred worke made they vpon them.

9 Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure.

The length of one curtaine was twentie and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtaine foure cubites: and the curtaines were all of one cise.

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

And he coupled fiue curtaines together, and other fiue coupled he together.

11 He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain,

And he made strings of blewe silke by the edge of one curtaine, in the seluedge of the coupling: likewise he made on the side of the other curtaine in the seluedge in the second coupling.

12 so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.

Fiftie strings made he in the one curtaine, and fiftie strings made he in the edge of the other curtaine, which was in the second coupling: the strings were set one against another.

13 For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.

After, he made fiftie taches of golde, and coupled the curtaines one to another with the taches: so was it one Tabernacle.

14 He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:

Also he made curtaines of goates heare for the couering vpon the Tabernacle: he made them to the nomber of eleuen curtaines.

15 one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.

The length of one curtaine had thirtie cubites, and the bredth of one curtaine foure cubites: the eleuen curtaines were of one cise.

16 Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately.

And hee coupled fiue curtaines by themselues, and sixe curtaines by themselues:

17 And he made fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, and fifty along the edge of the other canopy, so that they might be joined to one another,

Also he made fiftie strings vpon the edge of one curtaine in the seluedge in the coupling, and fiftie strings made hee vpon the edge of the other curtaine in the second coupling.

18 and fifty buckles of brass, with which the roof might be woven together, so that from all the canopies there would be made one covering.

He made also fiftie taches of brasse to couple the couering that it might be one.

19 He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.

And he made a couering vpon the pauilion of rams skinnes dyed red, and a couering of badgers skinnes aboue.

20 He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.

Likewise he made the boards for the Tabernacle, of Shittim wood to stand vp.

21 Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width.

The length of a board was ten cubites, and the bredth of one board was a cubite, and an halfe.

22 There were two dovetails along every panel, so that one might be joined to the other. Thus did he make all the panels of the tabernacle.

One board had two tenons, set in order as the feete of a ladder, one against another: thus made he for all the boardes of the Tabernacle.

23 Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,

So he made twentie boardes for the South side of the Tabernacle, euen full South.

24 with forty bases of silver. Two bases were set under one panel at each of two sides at the corners, where the joints of the sides terminate in corners.

And fourtie sockets of siluer made he vnder the twentie boardes, two sockets vnder one board for his two tenons, and two sockets vnder another board for his two tenons.

25 Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,

Also for the other side of the Tabernacle toward the North, he made twentie boards,

26 with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board.

And their fourtie sockets of siluer, two sockets vnder one board, and two sockets vnder another boarde.

27 Yet truly, opposite the west, that is, toward that part of the tabernacle which looks out toward the sea, he made six panels,

Likewise toward the Westside of the Tabernacle he made sixe boardes.

28 and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back,

And two boardes made he in the corners of the Tabernacle, for either side,

29 which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side.

And they were ioyned beneath, and likewise were made sure aboue with a ring: thus he did to both in both corners.

30 So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel.

So there were eight boards and their sixteene sockets of siluer, vnder euery board two sockets.

31 He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle,

After, he made barres of Shittim wood, fiue for the boards in ye one side of ye Tabernacle,

32 and five others to fit together the panels of the other side, and, in addition to these, five other bars toward the western area of the tabernacle, opposite the sea.

And fiue barres for the boardes in the other side of the Tabernacle, and fiue barres for the boards of the Tabernacle on the side toward the West.

33 He also made another bar, which came through the middle of the panels from corner to corner.

And he made the middest barre to shoote through the boards, from the one end to ye other.

34 But the panels themselves he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them. And he made their rings from gold, through which the bars might be able to be drawn. And he covered the bars themselves with layers of gold.

He ouerlayd also the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the barres, and couered the barres with golde.

35 He also made a veil from hyacinth, and purple, from vermillion as well as fine twisted linen, with varied and distinctive embroidery,

Moreouer he made a vaile of blew silke, and purple, and of skarlet, and of fine twined linen: with Cherubims of broydred worke made he it:

36 and four columns of setim wood, which, along with their heads, he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them.

And made thereunto foure pillars of Shittim, and ouerlayd them with golde: whose hookes were also of golde, and hee cast for them foure sockets of siluer.

37 He also made a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery,

And he made an hanging for the Tabernacle doore, of blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linnen, and needle worke,

38 and five columns with their heads, which he covered with gold, and he cast their bases from brass.

And the fiue pillars of it with their hookes, and ouerlayde their chapiters and their filets with golde, but their fiue sockets were of brasse.
