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.”

And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the sanctuary, have done according to all that Jehovah 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.

And Moses calleth unto Bezaleel, and unto Aholiab, and unto every wise-hearted man in whose heart Jehovah hath given wisdom, every one whom his heart lifted up, to come 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 take from before Moses all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the sanctuary to do it; and still they have brought in unto him a willing-offering morning by morning.

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

And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the sanctuary, come each from his work which they are 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 speak unto Moses, saying, 'The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.'

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,

And Moses commandeth, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, 'Let not man or woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary;' and the people are restrained from bringing,

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

and the work hath been sufficient for them, for all the work, to do it, and to leave.

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.

And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the tabernacle; ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubs, work of a designer, he hath made them.

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

The length of the one curtain [is] eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit; one measure [is] to 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 joineth the five curtains one unto another, and the [other] five curtains he hath joined one unto another;

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

and he maketh loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he hath made in the edge of the outmost curtain, in the joining of the second;

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 he hath made in the one curtain, and fifty loops hath he made in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold one on 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 maketh fifty hooks of gold, and joineth the curtains one unto another by the hooks, and the tabernacle is one.

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

And he maketh curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he hath made them;

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

the length of the one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain [is] four cubits; one measure [is] to the eleven curtains;

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

and he joineth the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.

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 maketh fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and fifty loops he hath made on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;

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

and he maketh fifty hooks of brass to join the tent — to 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 maketh a covering for the tent of rams' skins made red, and a covering of badgers' skins above.

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

And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up;

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

ten cubits [is] the length of the [one] board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the [one] 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 handles [are] to the one board, joined one unto another; so he hath made for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward;

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 he hath made under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.

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

And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side, he hath made twenty boards,

26 and forty silver stands, two stands per frame.

and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board;

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

and for the sides of the tabernacle, westward, hath he made six boards;

28 along with two frames for its two back corners.

and two boards hath he made for the corners of the tabernacle, in the two sides;

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 have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at the one ring; so he hath done to both of them at the two corners;

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

and there have been eight boards; and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board.

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

And he maketh bars of shittim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

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 second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle, for the sides westward;

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

and he maketh the middle bar to enter into 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 he hath overlaid with gold, and their rings he hath made of gold, places for bars, and he overlayeth 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 maketh the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer he hath made it, [with] cherubs;

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 maketh for it four pillars of shittim [wood], and overlayeth them with gold; their pegs [are] of gold; and he casteth 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 maketh a covering for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, 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.

also its five pillars, and their pegs; and he overlaid their tops and their fillets [with] gold, and their five sockets [are] brass.
