Exodus 36

1 So Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other craftsmen with the necessary expertise and given the skill and ability by the Lord, are to work out how to accomplish all the work of constructing the sanctuary as commanded by the Lord.”

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 Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people who had been given special abilities by the Lord, everyone willing to come and do the 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 Moses gave them everything the Israelites had contributed to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. In the meantime the people went on bringing freewill offerings every 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 so much so that all the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary stopped what they were doing

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

5 and went and told Moses, “The people have already brought enough to complete the work the Lord has ordered us to do.”

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 Moses gave the order, and an announcement was made throughout the camp: “Men and women, don't bring anything more as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were stopped from bringing anything more,

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 since there was already more than enough to do all the work necessary.

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

8 The skilled craftsmen among the workers made the ten curtains for the Tabernacle. They were made of finely-spun linen together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, embroidered with cherubim.

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 curtain was twenty-eight cubits long by four cubits wide, and they were all the same size.

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 They joined together five of the curtains as one set, and the other five he joined as a second set.

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

11 They used blue material to make loops on the edge of the last curtain of both sets.

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 They made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the last curtain of the second set, lining up the loops with each another.

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 They also made fifty gold clips and joined the curtains together with the clips, so that the Tabernacle was a single structure.

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

14 They made eleven curtains of goat hair as a tent to cover 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 Each of the eleven curtains was the same size—thirty cubits long by four cubits wide.

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

16 They joined five of the curtains together as one set and the other six as another set.

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

17 They made fifty loops on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the last curtain in the second set.

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 They made fifty bronze clips to join the tent together as a single cover.

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

19 They made a covering for the goat hair tent from tanned ram skins, and placed an extra covering of fine leather over that.

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

20 They made an upright framework of acacia wood for the Tabernacle.

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

21 Each frame was ten cubits long by one and a half cubits wide.

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

22 Each frame had two pegs so the frames could be connected to each other. They made all the frames of the Tabernacle like this.

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 They made twenty frames for the south side of the Tabernacle.

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

24 They made forty silver stands as supports for the twenty frames using two stands per frame, one under every frame peg.

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 Similarly for the north side of the Tabernacle, they made twenty frames

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

26 and forty silver stands, two stands per frame.

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

27 They made six frames for the back (west side) of the Tabernacle,

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

28 along with two frames for its two back corners.

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

29 They joined these corner frames at the bottom and at the top near to the first ring. This is how they made the two corner frames.

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

30 In total there were eight frames and sixteen silver stands, two under each frame.

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

31 They made five crossbars of acacia wood to hold together the frames on the south side of the Tabernacle,

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

32 five for those on the north, and five for those at the back of the Tabernacle, to the west.

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 They made the central crossbar which was placed halfway up the frames and ran from one end to the other.

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

34 They covered the frames with gold, and made gold rings to hold the crossbars in place. They covered the crossbars with gold too.

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 They made a veil out of blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen, embroidered with cherubim by someone who was skilled.

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 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and covered them with gold. They made gold hooks for the posts and cast their four silver stands.

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 They made a screen for the entrance to the tent using blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen, and had it embroidered.

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

38 They also made five posts of acacia wood with hooks to hang the screen. They covered the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and their five stands were made of bronze.

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.
