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.”

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 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.

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 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 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 so much so that all the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary stopped what they were doing

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

14 They made eleven curtains of goat hair as a tent to cover the Tabernacle.

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

15 Each of the eleven curtains was the same size—thirty cubits long by four cubits wide.

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

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

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

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.

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

And he made fifty clasps of bronze, —to join together the tent, that it might become 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 covering to the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badgers’ skins, above.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

26 and forty silver stands, two stands per frame.

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

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

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

28 along with two frames for its two back corners.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

32 five for those on the north, and five for those at the back of the Tabernacle, to 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 They made the central crossbar which was placed halfway up the frames and ran 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 They covered the frames with gold, and made gold rings to hold the crossbars in place. They covered the crossbars with gold too.

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

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

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