Exodus 36

1 And Beseleel wrought, and Eliab and every one wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and knowledge, to understand to do all the works according to the holy offices, according to all things which the Lord appointed.

Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary — according to all that Jehovah had commanded.

2 And Moses called Beseleel and Eliab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God gave knowledge in [their] heart, and all who were freely willing to come forward to the works, to perform them.

And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.

3 And they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary to do them; and they continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in the morning.

And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.

4 And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they wrought.

And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,

5 And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance [too great] in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed [them] to do.

and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.

6 And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labor for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more.

Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;

7 And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides.

for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.

8 And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubim of artistic work did he make them.

9 And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.

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

10 And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work;

And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled he one to another.

11 shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another.

And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.

12 They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses;

He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.

13 and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel;

And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.

14 and he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, [as] stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses.

And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.

15 And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.

The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain — one measure for the eleven curtains.

16 They made the oracle square [and] double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span, —double.

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

17 And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald;

And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.

18 and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper;

And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one.

19 and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst;

And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above [that].

20 and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold.

And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up;

21 And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes.

ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board;

22 And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold,

two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings.

And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;

24 And they put the two golden rings on both the [upper] corners of the oracle;

and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board, for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.

25 and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, and the two wreaths into the two couplings.

And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side toward the north, he made twenty boards,

26 And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite [each other] in front.

and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.

27 And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within.

And at the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards;

28 And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod.

and he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;

29 And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with [a string] of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.

and they were joined beneath, and were coupled together at the top thereof into one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners;

30 And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue.

and there were eight boards, and their silver bases: sixteen bases, under every board two bases.

31 And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be tore.

— And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32 And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.

and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the rear, westward.

33 And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates:

And he made the middle bar in the midst of the boards reach from one end to the other.

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

35 And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons,

And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus: of artistic work he made it [with] cherubim.

36 and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined;

And he made four pillars of acacia[-wood] for it, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.

37 and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses.

And he made a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery;

38 And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold;

and its five pillars with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their connecting-rods with gold; and their five bases were of copper.

39 and he wrote upon it graven letters [as] of a seal, Holiness to the Lord.

40 And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.
