Exodus 36
1 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.
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.
2 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.
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.
3 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.
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.
4 Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy work, —man by man from his work which, they, were doing;
And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they wrought.
5 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.
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.
6 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.
And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labour for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing any more.
7 For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, —and to spare.
And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides.
8 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.
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.
9 The length of each curtain, was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four cubits, for each curtain, —one measure, had all the curtains.
And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined.
10 And he joined the [first] five curtains, one to another, —and the [other] five curtains, joined he one to another,
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;
11 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:
shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another.
12 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.
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;
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, —and joined the curtains one to another with the clasps, and so the habitation became, one.
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;
14 And he made curtains of goat’s-hair, for the tent over the habitation, eleven curtains, did he make them:
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.
15 the length of each curtain, was thirty cubits, and, four cubits, was the breath of each curtain, —one measure, had the eleven curtains.
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.
16 And he joined five of the curtains by themselves, —and the six curtains, by themselves.
They made the oracle square [and] double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span, —double.
17 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.
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;
18 And he made fifty clasps of bronze, —to join together the tent, that it might become one.
and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper;
19 And he made a covering to the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, —and a covering of badgers’ skins, above.
and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst;
20 And he made the boards for the habitation, of acacia wood, for standing up:
and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold.
21 ten cubits, the length of each board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board:
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.
22 two tenons to each board, united one to another, —thus, made he for all the boards of the habitation.
And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold,
23 And he made the boards for the habitation, twenty boards, for the south side southwards;
and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings.
24 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.
And they put the two golden rings on both the [upper] corners of the oracle;
25 And for the second side of the habitation to the north quarter, made he twenty boards;
and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, and the two wreaths into the two couplings.
26 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets, under the first board, and, two sockets, under the next board.
And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite [each other] in front.
27 And, for the hinder part of the habitation westward, made he six boards;
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.
28 and two boards, made he for the corners of the habitation, —in the hinderpart.
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.
29 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.
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.
30 Thus were there to be eight boards, and, their sockets of silver, were sixteen sockets, two sockets apiece under each board.
And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue.
31 And he made bars of acacia wood, —five, for the boards of the first side of the habitation,
And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be rent.
32 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.
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.
33 And he made the middle bar, —to run along in the midst of the boards, from end to end.
And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates:
34 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.
a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses.
35 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.
And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons,
36 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.
and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined;
37 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;
and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses.
38 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.
And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold;
and he wrote upon it graven letters [as] of a seal, Holiness to the Lord.
And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.
