Exodus 36

1 And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom the Lord hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to do every manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, shall make all, just as the Lord hath commanded.

Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.

2 And Moses called for Bezalel and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, every one whose heart stirred him up to come near unto the work to do it:

And when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,

3 And they received from Moses the whole of the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it; and these brought unto him yet more free-will offerings morning after morning.

He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.

4 And then came all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, every man from his own work which they were doing.

Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,

5 And they said unto Moses, thus, The people bring more than is required for the service of the work, which the Lord hath commanded to make.

Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.

6 And Moses gave the command, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary: so the people were restrained from bringing [more].

Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,

7 And the stuff prepared was sufficient for all the work to make it, and there was some over.

Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.

8 And all the wise-hearted men, among those who wrought the work, made the tabernacle of ten curtains; of twisted linen thread, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn; with cherubim, of weaver's work, made he them.

And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:

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

The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.

10 And he coupled together five of the curtains one to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

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

11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, which was the outside in the coupling: the like he made on the border of the curtain, which was the outmost on the second coupling.

He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,

12 Fifty loops made he on the one curtain, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain which was in the second coupling: the loops were fixed opposite to each other.

That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.

13 And he made fifty hooks of gold; and he coupled the curtains together one unto the other with the hooks, and the tabernacle became thus one piece.

Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.

14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains made he the same.

He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of each curtain: there was one measure for the eleven curtains.

One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.

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

Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.

17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was the outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain of the second coupling.

And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.

18 And he made fifty hooks of copper, to couple the tent together that it might be one piece.

And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.

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

He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.

20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of shittim wood, standing up.

He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.

21 Ten cubits was the length of each board, and one cubit and a half was the breadth of each one board.

The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.

22 There were two tenons for every board, fitted in, one against the other: the like made he for all the boards of the tabernacle.

There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side, on the right.

Of which twenty were at the south side southward,

24 And forty sockets of silver made he under the twenty boards; two sockets under the one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under the other board for its two tenons.

With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.

25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, for the north side, he made twenty boards:

At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.

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

With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.

27 And for the back wall of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards.

But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,

28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the back wall.

And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:

29 And they were closely fitting beneath, and they were closely joined together on the top, by means of one ring; thus he did to both of them, for both the corners.

Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:

30 And so there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, two sockets under every board.

So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.

31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five, for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle;

He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

32 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the back wall, westward.

And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.

33 And he made the middle bar to pass through the midst of the boards from the one end to the other end.

He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.

34 And the boards he overlaid with gold, and their rings he made of gold, as receptacles for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.

And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.

35 And he made the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; of weaver's work made he it, with cherubim.

He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:

36 And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, their hooks also were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.

37 And he made a hanging for the door of the tabernacle, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; the work of the embroiderer;

He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.

38 And its five pillars with their hooks: and he overlaid their tops and made their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of copper.

And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
