Exodus 36

1 And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom YHWH has given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the holy place, have done according to all that YHWH commanded.

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

2 And Moses calls to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to every wise-hearted man in whose heart YHWH has given wisdom, everyone whom his heart lifted up, to come near to the work to do it.

And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it:

3 And they take from before Moses all the raised-offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the holy place to do it; and still they have brought to him a willing-offering morning by morning.

And they received from Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it with. And they brought yet to him free offerings every morning.

4 And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the holy place, each come from his work which they are doing,

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

5 and speak to Moses, saying, “The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which YHWH commanded [us] to do.”

And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

6 And Moses commands, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, “Do not let man or woman make anymore work for the raised-offering of the holy place”; and the people are restrained from bringing,

And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

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

For the things they had were sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

8 And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the Dwelling Place; he has made them [with] ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubim, the work of a designer.

And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: he made them with cherubim of skilful work.

9 The length of one curtain [is] twenty-eight by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four by the cubit; one measure [is] for all the curtains.

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

10 And he joins the five curtains to one another, and the [other] five curtains he has joined to one another;

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

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

12 he has made fifty loops in the first curtain, and he has made fifty loops in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold on one another.

Fifty loops he made in one curtain, and fifty loops he made in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.

13 And he makes fifty hooks of gold, and joins the curtains to one another by the hooks, and the Dwelling Place is one.

And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so it became one tabernacle.

14 And he makes curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the Dwelling Place; eleven curtains he has made them;

16 and he joins the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.

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

17 And he makes fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and he has made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;

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

22 two handles [are] to one board, joined to one another; so he has made for all the boards of the Dwelling Place.

One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 And he makes the boards for the Dwelling Place; twenty boards for the south side southward;

25 And for the second side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, he has made twenty boards,

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

And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at its head, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

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